Overall rating
Benjamin is a wonderful guide, intelligent and kind. He has great advice for things to do in the area and is a passionate speaker and sharer of our Jewish history. Highly recommend this experience.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and bing able to go inside the Doheny Synagogue is a must. I think the shorter tour would have been enough as we did very little more for the half-day.
Arman was brilliant! He had great English and had a brilliant laugh with us! He took us to try some homemade Hungarian strudel and was so informative! Would defo do this again!
It was excellent from start to finish. Karol was our guide, calm and considerate.
Daniel is excellent! Knowledgeable, caring, easy going! Great trip!
