Great Experience - Our guide for this tour was Chris. Chris was a wonderful guide. He was timely, experienced and friendly. As a local resident he shared great detail with us. He was happy to answer questions, and was very patient with us. We left this tour with a greater understanding of the historical area, as well as an emotional connection to the history of the Jewish community. I highly recommend this tour with Chris as your guide. He was a 10 star guide.

An Insighful Tour - I have been to quite a number of tours and they usually do not disappoint. I can say the same and so much more about this one. Milan, our tour guide for 10 of us, was exceptional in his knowledge and guidance. His insightfulness into the history of the Jews in Budapest, from its earliest days centuries ago, to present day practices, was an eye-opener, to me. I could feel the sense of pride he takes in his work as he goes on and on with so much passion you don’t want him to stop. Kudos to Milan and this tour company for such a wonderful tour.
