One of the best tours! - The tour with Michael was one of the best in my life. It was exciting, informative, humorous, and ironic. It was the best idea to choose this tour with an Israeli native, he is really an expert in this field. Michael told a lot about the history of the Jewish people in Budapest and gave us knowledge about Jewish culture, traditions, and customs. Thank you so much! Best wishes, Olga

Very interesting historical tour - Very interesting historical tour, although the synagogues were closed. Guy pointed out some fascinating sites that we would have never seen on our own.

Avoid this tour - This is a very superficial tour you can easily do on your own , let along find it 30% cheaper if you book it directly with the company . If you are looking for a comprehensive historical background tour , this is NOT it. It’s simply walking through the street and pointing buildings. In fact , our guide not only lack background knowledge, he got some facts wrong . He is sweet and kind but he should not take such responsibility before acquiring more information. So sad to write this but tourist should know what they NOT getting for $300….!
