5.00Ben gave a very informative history of Jewish life in Budapest and the Doheny St. synagogue. He was articulate , easy to be with and informative. The small group imitation to 12 people maximum is a plus. Ben shared stories of his family illustrating the prrsonal impact of history.

5.00It was wonderful! We saw and learned so much about Eastern European Jewry and Hungarian specifically. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Benjamin was fantastic. I can’t believe how knowledgeable this young man is.
Better value to purchase your own synagogue admission ticket

3.00I appreciated learning about the present-day Budapest Jewish community and a bit of the history. However, purchasing the tour did not provide the value that buying our own admission ticket would have. I expected more of a walking tour through the Jewish quarter, not just a visit to the synagogue/museum complex. We also did not get enough time to delve into the exhibits. I would have like there to be an actual guided tour of the museum, highlighting some of the treasures, as shown in the photos advertising the tour. Instead, we were given 30 minutes to explore on our own.
The tour was everything...

Misrepresented

3.00Nice tour but the grand tour lasted only a little over 2 hours. Spent only 15 minutes in the Jewish museum, listed as 45 minutes. The Jewish cafe listed on the itinerary actually doesn’t even exist. In my opinion, the 2 synagogues are nice to visit but the time spent on the tour and the itinerary were completely misrepresented.
Perfect synagogue walk
