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

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.
