Great history and tour of the Jewish Quarter, including admission to multiple synagogues and museums! Milan, our guide, was very informative and friendly. Highly recommend the tour vs self guided options.
Daniel_E, Aug 2026
Fantastic and informative tour! Do the longer option with both Synagogues. Ask for Milan as your tour guide. He was excellent!
Hollis_P, Aug 2026
Excellent tour of the synagogues and lots of
history was explained.
Flavia was delightful and a very well informed guide.
sharon_F, Aug 2026
Milan was our guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and made it a priority to engage us and answer our many questions. If you are in Budapest, this is a must with Milan.
A commentary from one of my kids: He was very funny and always tried to keep us in shade ( temp was close to 100f). He also found a way to make the tour not just history but a way to make memories.

Our tour guide was excellent. I think her name is Fatima. She was wonderful. Very interesting and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour!
Eliyahu_R, Jul 2026
Wonderful tour of the Great Synagogue. Flavia was upbeat and exceptionally knowledgeable. There was a bomb scare in front of our last stop so she called an audible and took us to another spot. We'll worth it.
Avi_R, Jul 2026
David was very good. He had great information and kept the pace moving. The synagogues were gorgeous and the walking was easy for all attendees. The only comment was he never reached out to us prior to the tour to know where to meet or how to identify him. We just happened to ask around until we found him.

David was a fantastic tour guide. Full of knowledge and speaks clearly, maybe a little fast but had a lot of information to give. The Jewish experience was wonderful and synagogues beautiful.
Helaine_S, Jul 2026
This is a "not to miss tour." David was so knowledgeable and personable and shared his own experiences which made for a very moving experience. He shared the history behind everything we saw and explained thoroughly.
laura_f, Jul 2026
We had a wonderful tour with our guide, David, learning the history of the beautiful Dohany Street Synagogue and other Synagogues in the Jewish Quarter pre and post WW2 and the Ghetto era. It was most interesting to hear his grandparents war time experiences followed by the Soviet period.
Phyllis_E, Jul 2026
There’s a great deal of information paced into a short period of time.
I would read up a bit on the area to be prepared with questions
Yaakov_E, Jul 2026
Our guide David was top notch and made all the difference. He really brought the history to life, and had unlimited patience and a good sense of humour.
Jacki_B, Jul 2026
So glad we signed up for this tour. Milan was our informative guide with a wealth of knowledge. We learned history and modern day life of Jews in Budapest. . We had all ages in our group and the weather was in the 90’s. The Dohany synagogue is not air conditioned. Milan would make sure we were in the shade. Highly recommend this tour.
Ken_S, Jul 2026
Our tour guide Milan was fantastic! He had a deep knowledge of the synagogue and surrounding ghetto district and provided us a rich history of the city and Jewish life.
Lawrence_K, Jul 2026
Guide Milan was very lively and informative. The Dohanyi and Rumbach synagogues were extremely impressive. Shame be tour didn’t include Kazinsky street synagogue but my partner and I had seen it on Sabbath services.
Bernadett_V, Jun 2026
The tour far exceeded my expectations. David was knowledgable, thorough and led the group that had mixed ages smoothly in the 100 degree heat. Can’t wait to book another.
Liliana_G, Jun 2026
Our guide, Budai. Miklos. was very knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with. He was able to answer all our questions. we highly recommend him for this tour..
Sheryl_O, Jun 2026
Our guide was amazing. He knew so much of the history and took time to explain everything and answered our questions
Jennifer_H, Jun 2026
I had to change the time for my tour and they were WONDERFUL about it! The tour guide was INCREDIBLY knowledgeable and very committed to making sure we learned a ton and that she was doing the very best job!
TravelFunTours, Jun 2026
Milan was an absolutely amazing guide. Really covered the history and reality of Jewish life in Hungary. He made it relatable and human. Always open to questions and interaction. Respectful, kind and FABULOUS!!
liz_e, Jun 2026
What a terrific tour with a very knowledgeable and personable guide. Milan is the best. Just a great tour and guide
Katie_R, Jun 2026
This was an amazing tour & our guide, Milan was so passionate and had an incredible amount of knowledge to share.
Rae_L, Jun 2026
David gave an excellent tour. His knowledge of all the synagogues, the history of the ghetto, and general Jewish knowledge is obvious. I only wish he good have spoken a bit slower. My older ears don't hear as fast as he spoke. It was obvious from the presentation that he is proud of his heritage.
Shari_B, Jun 2026
The guide was knowledgeable. The problem was that there were other guests with disabilities on the tour and they had trouble walking so the guide had to help them. It would be better if your company could have different groups according to abilities such as having a leisure group and regular group. They did that on my cruise ship and it worked well.
Perry_J, Jun 2026
It is meaningful, inspirational and a testament to faith. David was an excellent tour guide. I highly recommend this tour.
Morgan_W, Jun 2026
What a great tour! It was wonderful to learn about Jewish life in Budapest, then and now. I'd definitely recommend this for all ages.
Tamra_S, Jun 2026
This is a very beautiful and meaningful experience to understand the vibrant history of the Jews in Budapest. From touring the synagogues, to the grounds of the Dohany Synagogue to Jewish quarter, our tour guide provided relevance, history and meaning to the tour.
Sherri_W, Jun 2026
The tour guide, Milan, was great. Very knowledgeable and shared interesting personal stories that brought the tour to life. My husband and I highly recommend it.
Ken_K, Jun 2026
Our tour guide was excellent. I’d recommend the long tour as it provided a more comprehensive experience overall about the Jewish quarter. As an example of the richer experience I would never had even thought to look for street markers showing the boundary of the ghetto.
Caryn_B, Jun 2026
Flavia was EXCELLENT. She was passionate, knowledgeable, thorough and interesting. Highly recommend!
