Budapest Jewish synagogue and ghetto tour - Seeing and learning about the Jewish people's story in Budapest with a knowledgeable guide. It would be even better if each participant had a headset so that the guide could speak into a microphone that would be easier to hear and understand.

Excellent and inspirational - The trip to Grand Dohány was excellent especially our guide Micky. He explain in detail numerous parts of the synagogue and the history around its creation. Our guide answered all questions and was very knowledgeable. The amount of information gained was tremendous in comparison to just going alone. To me personally, I was inspired to be deeply connected to my roots… with all that changes daily in the world we now live in it was comforting listening to old traditions. Highly recommend this tour and Micky, the guide. P.S. it was very very cold.

Knowledgeable tour guide but both synagogues not visited. - We were unable to enter the Rumbach synagogue due to a pre scheduled concert at the synagogue. Viator should have been aware of this at the time of the booking. Very disappointing.
