Let’s walk around in the 7th District Jewish Quarter of Budapest and explore the rich history of the Hungarian Jewish Community. We also show you the changes that took place in the district since the 1990s and how it has become the bohemian quarter of the city regaining slowly its old character as well. On this tour, we visit the three historical synagogues: the Dohàny street, the Kazinczy Street Orthodox Synagogue and even the recently renovated Rumbach Street Synagogue. The tour will take you to other sites as well related to the turbulent history of the Jewish community living in this part of Budapest. We even take you down to the Shoes on the Danube Memorial near the Parliament building upon request. We also introduce you to other parts of the Jewish heritage we won't miss tasting our special and traditional Jewish pastry.
P.S: Please note that if you would like to book a tour on Friday afternoon or Saturday, we cannot surely enter the Synagugoes due to their religious function.

We had a great afternoon...

5.00We had a great afternoon walking through the jewish quarter with Suzy. Suzy met us at our hotel and then we began our journey. She was flexible in allowing my family to create its own unique intinerary for the afternoon. suzy introduced my father to an archivist that was able to find some very cool old materials documenting my father's Budapest family roots. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants an in depth, unique and personalized visit to the jewish quarter
Very professional and competent

5.00We visited the 2 synagogues, the ghetto area, the remains of the wall, the shoes on the Danube river. The guide told us a lot of anecdotes and the history of the country and the Jews.
Wonderful!

5.00The Synagogue costs extra $, didn't see that and wasn't prepared. Our guide Joel, was very patient, most of us were over70.

5.00Suzy was a very passionate and knowledgeable guide and gave us a thorough look at Jewish history and tour of the Jewish quarter. I wish our time in Budapest had allowed us to do the tour other than a Saturday so we could’ve seen the inside of the synagogues but she showed us places most other tours don’t include. I’m so glad I found this tour.
Excellent and moving tour!
