5.00What a beautiful tour and I learned so much. I booked this tour same day for 10am and met the team easily at the entrance. We were the first people in the synagogue and had it all to ourselves for about 5 minutes before the crowds came in. I really treasured learning and hearing about the Hungarian Jewish community and what they went through and how it is today. This is a gorgeous synagogue and is a must see when in Budapest.
Great hour very informative

4.00Loved the tour. So much history and information up for grabs. The tour guide was very interesting to listen to and gave us a detailed background of Judaism and its history associated with Hungary. Only wish it would have been a bit longer considering the high amount we paid for the tickets.
Beautiful and impressive to visit
