5.00Edith was a remarkable guide of the Jewish Quarter and Synagogue during my visit to Budapest. Her English was excellent and she was very knowledgeable about all the historical facts. I had the pleasure of being the only participant that particular day and so it was a very meaningful experience for me. It was a great pleasure meeting her and would highly recommend this tour!

Fabulous Tour of Jewish Heritage in Budapest

5.00This Jewish Heritage tour in Budapest was outstanding in every way. We were seven people and Edith structured the tour around our interests. It was exceptionally well organized, deeply educational, and presented with great sensitivity and respect for Jewish history and memory. Edith combined historical knowledge with personal stories, making the experience not only informative but truly moving. We came away with a much deeper understanding of Hungarian Jewish life, especially during the Holocaust, and felt both inspired and emotionally touched. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a meaningful and memorable Jewish heritage experience.

5.00Our tour with Edith was outstanding! Unfortunately, we arrived on Simchat Torah so we could not go inside the Doheny Synagogue but Edith found a way to create a terrific tour through her words and with pictures while ambling around the Jewish neighborhoods. She is smart and insightful and full of knowledge. She was a delight to spend time with and I would recommend her highly!
Outstanding

5.00My wife and I have taken tours in many different cities in many different countries and this is one of the best tours we have ever taken. First of all, it was a good tour, but it was Edith, our tour guide who made this tour exceptional and so memorable. Edith made this a very personal experience and I won’t soon forget this tour, or the stories she told.

5.00Edith was exceptional! Took us to all the sites in the Jewish quarter, from the statue of the priest who saved lives of countless children and the Shoes on Danube, to the Synagogues in the city. Many stimulating and meaningful anecdotes and a thorough explanation of everything. A master guide!
