A Waste of Time and Money

susanneug, Sep 2025

Our tour guide was very good, but the tour itself was a waste of time and money. The synagogue is the only Jewish site, yet the company did not arrange for a visit and we were not allowed to enter. We could have viewed the exterior on our own. We have taken many Viator tours; this is the first time that we are disappointed.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. We always strive to provide valuable and clearly described experiences. Unfortunately, due to security measures, access to the synagogue requires prior registration, which is noted in the tour description. We're glad you appreciated the guide and hope we’ll have a chance to regain your trust in the future.
