Great tour learning Jewish religion and Hungarian Jewish history

Published on Jun, 2024

We had a wonderful and informative tour with our tour guide Andrew. He is truly passionate about Jewish culture and history and has great knowledge about everything we saw on the tour. Additionally, he did a great job keeping the 2 teen and pre-teen boys in our group interesting and entertaining throughout the walking tour. At the end of the tour, we went to a Jewish restaurant for lunch that he recommended and it was awesome too!

Fantastic, Informative and highly Recommended!!

Published on Apr, 2024

This was a fantastic tour. I would definitely recommnend to others visiting Budapest. Our tour guide (OSHI) was a graduate in Jewish Studies and knew a huge amount about the heritage, The history and monuments. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amazing Budapest experience with Endre!!!

Published on Sep, 2023

We had the pleasure of touring Budapest Day One with Endre this past summer. Budapest was absolutely amazing… but it was Endre (and Kata – see her review) who truly brought it to life for us. His knowledge of the city and its history – indeed, the history of Hungary and Europe in general – was superb. It was as if we were getting private university level tutoring. More than just Endre’s deep knowledge about everything, was his passion as a tour guide. His most important goal was for us to have fun. And fun we had. Budapest was one adventure after another. As we delved into it, we realized that there were certain areas we wanted to spend more time on at the expense of others. Endre had no problem rerouting our tour as we went. He was very flexible and really went with the flow. In short, Endre was warm, outgoing, hilarious, easy to talk to and listen to, energetic, knowledgeable, and just a great human being. We were VERY lucky to have secured him for our first visit to Budapest. We recommend him as highly as we can. A+ for Endre…

Knowledgeable Tour guide

Published on May, 2023

Kati was our guide. She was the best. This particular tour had a lot of meaning to our group of ten people. Her knowledge was incredible and made it easy for us to understand the history of the Jewish quarter. I would recommend this tour with her.

Our Time in Budpest with Andras

Published on Oct, 2022

Andras, our excellent, thoughtful and well informed guide led us on two 3-hour tours over two days drilling down into the historical significance and history buried in the old city of Budapest first then the second day focusing more upon the Jewish history, synagogues, and the relationships between the Jews and the Hungarian state. Andras easily captured our attention and imagination as we walked and enjoyed learning from his articulate and committed command of both local and historical references. To summarize, he provided a priceless value to our trip. The highest of recommendations!!
