Excursão de Meio Período à Sinagoga da Rua Dohány em Budapeste

Initially, I didn't know how to find the tour guide at the meeting point. Fortunately, with the help of church staff, I was directed to the group's assembly location. I almost thought I was going to miss it! The young guide, being Jewish himself, shared his experiences and history. We spent the most time at the church, had a quick look at the Jewish Museum, then visited the Memorial Garden, and concluded with the statue commemorating the Swiss ambassador who saved Jewish children.

We were the only group (2 people) participating this time, so it became a private tour. Although the tour was in English, it was quite easy to understand. The guide happened to be Jewish, and hearing him recount this history added a special intensity. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

The meeting point was a bit difficult to find because there were many people on site, including those who had already purchased admission tickets on the official website and members of many other tour groups. We had to proactively ask people who looked like guides to confirm if we were with the right group. The guide's explanation was detailed and sincere, not only recounting Jewish history but also focusing on the relationship between Jews and Hungary.

Rich English explanations, humorous guides, and answers to all questions about Jewish history and culture – well worth planning a trip to explore Jewish cultural history.

Two hours for the Jewish heritage tour is enough! That's the whole point! But actually, the two-hour tour isn't great value for money; it's too expensive. Those who sign up for the four-hour grand tour are grouped with the two-hour tour participants. After the two-hour tour ends, the guide calls out the names of those continuing for four hours, but the subsequent part of the tour is a complete waste of money and time! It feels like it was just tacked on to fill time! The only good thing was the cake. But, one piece of cake + one cup of coffee, plus the guide taking us to a free attraction and a souvenir shop!? To spend an extra hour and over a thousand dollars for that... and then they tell me it's a grand tour... what the heck!? And it seems like we even missed one attraction that required an entrance fee! I need to file a complaint and get a reasonable explanation! In summary: absolutely do not take the grand tour, it's a waste of money and time! If you're interested in hearing the guide's explanations, two hours is sufficient! But if you've already done your research, you don't even need a guide; just buy a ticket and go in yourself, everything is at the Tobacco Street Synagogue! You just need to queue a bit to buy tickets when it's crowded.

The tour guide's English was excellent, and they made an effort to look after group members who weren't native English speakers. However, too many people joined the tour spontaneously along the way, which somewhat impacted the quality.

Our guide Benjamin is very knowledgeable and good at communication. He knows the subject inside out. Very impressive.

Mi primera visita a una sinagoga judía. Un guía turístico agradable con una explicación detallada.

參加上半日遊，景點就是單一猶太教堂，但不是詳細的介紹教堂或者猶太教部分，而是介紹猶太教的過去、現在、個人的觀點還有團體討論，參加的同團都是猶太教徒，會建議有背景或者做功課再來會比較融入，尤其英文介紹太多專有名詞跟人物對我太難了。

Overall very good. The guide was nice and we loved it.
