5.00This was a very informative tour that taught us a lot about Jewish life and history in Budapest. We had a good amount of time at the synagogue and museum and our guide was very well versed. She also made good recommendations to explore the quarter onour own.
Beautiful, historical and important. Benji is amazing!

5.00Our guide, Benji, was terrific! Not only is he engaging and a great story teller, but he is incredibly knowledgeable across a variety of topics from history to restaurants and personalizes the topics to ground the listener in the place and time.
Great tour.

5.00We did the tour this morning with Benjamin. He was intelligent, knowledgeable, friendly, and well spoken. He was actually a joy to listen to. He didn't appear to be just reciting the history, but he genuinely cared about the subject matter. He kept us all engaged.
Synagogue and Jewish Quarter.

5.00Ben was an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable about the area. He explained the history of the Synagogue and the Jewish quarter. I highly recommend this tour and Ben as your guide.
Very informative, both factually and emotionally

5.00We’re so glad we took this tour with Benjamin. Other than being factually informative (which it was, delivered in a thoughtful but enthusiastic manner), we had an insight into what it’s like for the modern-day Hungarian Jewish community to live in a country with such a problematic history for them which continues to be a challenge to this day. A lot to think about and highly recommended
Wonderful tour

5.00Benjamin was the best guide as he was a local and knew the Jewish history really well. He was able to bring his own perspectives and experiences to the tour and I thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely recommend him for anyone wanting to learn about the Jewish history in Budapest.
