Michele – Australia

The guide, András, provided an excellent commentary of the history of both Hungary in general and more specifically on the Jewish quarter. It was worth every forint!

R
Rebecca – United States

Noemi was phenomenal. We learned so much about Jewish history in Budapest and Hungary. And she was passionate about history and the whole subject matter. Highly recommend.

After going on a lot of city tours, you can tell quickly how well a guide will do. Gabor makes a good first impression; he's engaging and funny. There was a lot to cover on this tour and the group had good questions, and he handled it all very well. One of my favorite tours.
