Your Budapest experience must include the Jewish district - the former Ghetto area. We have been on a mission to passionately help visitors learn about the Hungarian Jewish history, culture and heritage for over 25 years now.
On this tour we present Europe's largest synagogue the Dohany, the Heroes' Temple synagogue and the recently renovated magnificent Rumbach synagogue from inside, while we stroll along the streets of the former Budapest Ghetto and learn about Righteous Gentiles who helped save many lives during the dark times of the Hungarian Holocaust and Jewish life in Budapest today. The tour offers an insight into the various Hungarian Jewish movements in today's cultural, commercial and entertainment center of our colorful, multicultural and breathtaking Budapest - all for the cost of almost the entrance tickets of the Dohany and Rumbach synagogues alone.

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.
