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

Outstanding guide who made the experience come alive.

5.00Turo (sp?) was an excellent guide. Her knowledge and passion made this more than an ordinary tour. She listened and integrated the questions and opinions of others yet kept us on track. It was a heartfelt and in-depth experience which I highly recommend.
Don't hesitate - book this tour!

5.00This is the best tour we have ever taken anywhere! Benjamin the tour guide was so knowledgeable and provided information that we never expected. He was willing to and answered all questions both personal and about the Jewish culture and history in Budapest. We not only were in awe of the synagogue and everything we saw but were truly educated to a way of life that most Americans have no concept of - were not taught in history classes. We gained a healthy respect for the way things were for the Jewish people as well as an understanding of our own heritage.
Very Interesting
