Milan was one of the best tour guides ever! His vast knowledge of history, Budapest, and personal experiences made this tour extremely interesting and enjoyable!
gary_l, Mar 2026
It's a great tour of a superb place to see the atmosphere and a lot to learn and if all the guides are as educated as mine was you will enjoy
Evelyn_N, Mar 2026
The synagogue was absolutely spectacular it was much more ornate than expected but still very beautiful. our guide was interesting. I wish he gave us a little bit more of the Jewish history throughout the ages not only of ww2. I also wish he gave us more history and of the symbolism of the interesting items within the synagogue.
Mark_C, Mar 2026
The guide I had was excellent, very knowledgeable, informative and covered the history in great detail and open to questions. I was very lucky on this occasion, as I was the sole guest. I would not hesitate to recommend this chap..made my day..

DavidJaffe, Jan 2026
Very informative guide; beautiful, majestic synagogue, powerful and emotionally gripping cemetery with mass grave from victims of the holocaust.
Karen_V, Dec 2025
What a very informative tour this was. We learnt so much about the history of the synagogue and its heritage. It was also very sad with how the jews were treated. Very much enjoyed this tour.
Peter_G, Nov 2025
Very interesting stories told by our guide . Informative and humours as well as lots of history about the Hungarian and Jewish past. Beautifully building worth the trip .
Rabea_N, Nov 2025
Loved the tour. So much history and information up for grabs. The tour guide was very interesting to listen to and gave us a detailed background of Judaism and its history associated with Hungary. Only wish it would have been a bit longer considering the high amount we paid for the tickets.
Sheri_G, Oct 2025
It was amazing, our tour guide Milan was absolutely brilliant, knowledgeable & humorous. The synagogue is beautiful & Milan brought a personal touch to the information.
Jeffrey_S, Oct 2025
Excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and professional. And a very wonderful person as well. Highly recommended.
Andy_W, Sep 2025
Our guide, Milan, was excellent. His explanation of the Hungarian history and it's parallels to Hungarian Jewish were very helpful.
NATHAN_B, Sep 2025
Very disappointing. Description seemed to indicate that this would be a special tour with extras. Turned to be one hour with guide in the synagogue complex only - no extras. Not value for money. Would have been better off paying admission fee and then using The synagogue's free tour. Using Viator for years and this is the first disappointing tour.
Daniel_M, Sep 2025
Great tour with a great guide. Easy to register. On time and very informative. We learned so much about this Jewish community.
Anne_M, Aug 2025
Our guide Milan was very knowledgeable and funny. Great guided tour. It was my third visit to the synagogue and the best one yet.
Ezra_A, Jul 2025
The tour guide was so knowledgeable and really took the time to personalise the experience. Highly recommend it!
Elizabeth_P, Jul 2025
Our guide, Milan, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He spoke a little quickly, but was very open to questions. He had a fun sense of humor too. Would recommend!
Gillian_B, Jul 2025
Milan was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave a lot of background information . Only criticism was a little confusion where to meet
Susan_R, Jun 2025
Our guide effectively packed a lot of information into the time available - and, though he must have done the tour hundreds of times, delivered that history in a personable manner.
David_B, Jun 2025
Worth visiting, guide was very knowledgeable about the building’s history. Guide was friendly and engaged with all in the group.
Michaela_G, Jun 2025
impressing place, interesting
The guide Milan explained a lot, we heared new facts about the history of jews in Europe and in Hungary, we took pictures of the site and visited the museum
Niharika_V, May 2025
The guided tour was really good. Very informative. I was only able to access the photogallery and not the archives.
Bettina_O, May 2025
Very interessting Culture and History good Englisch and a very Grünfläche Guide
Small group which made it very comfortable
David_G, May 2025
A very interesting history of the Jewish community in Budapest. Nice to see the inside of Europe’s largest Jewish synagogue.
Richard_M, May 2025
This is a very informative tour both in regards to the Synagogue and the history of Hungary. Our guide was fantastic. Strongly recommended - PS I'm not Jewish!
dfp324, May 2025
The guide was very knowledgeable and thorough in telling us about the synagogue’s history and importance, as well as the surrounding area. Only 4 couples so plenty of time for questions.
Karen_B, May 2025
Great to understand more of the Jewish customs. Knowledgable tour guide but hard to hear in the synagogue with so many tours as he also spoke very quickly! However would definitely recommend
Sandra_S, May 2025
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the synagogue and Jewish life. He brought it to life by telling us about his family’s experiences during the war. Unfortunately, we were on the short (45 minutes) tour so the synagogue was the only thing he had time to cover. I’m sure we would have enjoyed the longer tour.
Galina, Apr 2025
Great informative tour of the Synagogue and park. Saving time on standing in line for tickets, guide gives short but interesting information and time to visit museum on your iwn. Highly recommend
Martha_s, Apr 2025
