Highly recommend - Highly informative with an amazing tour guide called Benjamin. If history had been taught by him in school, I would have done very well! Highly recommend this tour.

A good exploring the Jewish quarter - This was a very informative tour that taught us a lot about Jewish life and history in Budapest. We had a good amount of time at the synagogue and museum and our guide was very well versed. She also made good recommendations to explore the quarter onour own.

Beautiful, historical and important. Benji is amazing! - Our guide, Benji, was terrific! Not only is he engaging and a great story teller, but he is incredibly knowledgeable across a variety of topics from history to restaurants and personalizes the topics to ground the listener in the place and time.

Great tour. - We did the tour this morning with Benjamin. He was intelligent, knowledgeable, friendly, and well spoken. He was actually a joy to listen to. He didn't appear to be just reciting the history, but he genuinely cared about the subject matter. He kept us all engaged.

Very informative, both factually and emotionally - We’re so glad we took this tour with Benjamin. Other than being factually informative (which it was, delivered in a thoughtful but enthusiastic manner), we had an insight into what it’s like for the modern-day Hungarian Jewish community to live in a country with such a problematic history for them which continues to be a challenge to this day. A lot to think about and highly recommended
