Beautiful synagogues, great guide and new knowledge. Recipe for a worthwhile tour!

Our guide, Greta was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and able to answer questions easily. We enjoyed conversing with her and learned how the Jewish community evolved , adapted over the centuries. Greta’s depth of knowledge was evident as we learned more about Hungary’s holocaust history.
