Gabor gave us an incredibly informative and riveting narrative of the Jewish experience in Budapest, focusing upon the seventeenth century to the present day. He had a seemingly inexhaustible fund of information, and shared it with great clarity and detail. Gabor was patient, kind, and sensitive to the needs of the group.
One of the greatest tour guides it has been my good fortune to experience.

Barbi provided a comprehensive overview of Jewish history and Hungary - not just the grim parts of more recent times. Really helps provide an understanding of Hungary over hundreds of years. Fabulous and the small group makes it very interactive.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thanks a lot, Elizabeth, we indeed try to show more than 800 years of Jewish history - while we also put an emphasis of the tragic times of the 1940s.
Thank you for joining our tour,
Daniel, Barbi and Budapest Explorers Team

Le guide était intéressant et sympathique. Le fait d'être en petit groupe est vraiment agréable.
Le guide tire des parallèles avec les faits actuels et c'est très intéressant. Merci Andras

The 2 things we strive for is to hold great tours - and to have great guests :)
