Meet one of our guides with university background of history who can bring the history of Jewry of Hungary alive in front of you.

During the walk you'll get to know the home of the largest Jewish community of Eastern Europe today where you'll see from the outside the three most important Synagogues.

We overview 2000 years of Jewish history while focusing on the last 150 years including the "golden age" of the turn of the century, the interwar period with a special focus on the events of the WW II and the revival of Jewish life from the 1990s.

Besides Jewish culture and history we introduce you to the gentrifying inner 7th district and its living standards, conditions, issues and its street art.

One of the highlights of this tour is visiting the Rumbach street Synagogue inside (the entrance fee is included in the tour's price).

Nomi was a wonderful guide. Informed and professional and so knowledgeable. She moved through the morning at the perfect pace and was happy to answer questions. She was passionate about her subject. She was the highlight of our trip to Budapest. I wish I could give her 10 stars x

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable on the history of the area. Easily answered all of our questions. The group was also very small, which made it very nice.

My wife and I agreed this tour was very informative and educational about the Jewish Heritage in Hungry. The citizens of Hungry and Jewish Community should be quite proud of what they have accomplished considering how many times they were conquered. All of our questions were answered and our final stop was at a Synagogue with some very unique designs. The 1 hr. lecture and 3 hr. walking tour went by very quickly. It provided us a greater understanding of Hungry’s history and how the Jewish Community played such a vital role in its rebuilding/prosperous years. We will never forget the young informative tour-guide. Wish we got her mom’s goulash recipe.

Gabor gave us an incredibly informative and riveting narrative of the Jewish experience in Budapest, focusing upon the seventeenth century to the present day. He had a seemingly inexhaustible fund of information, and shared it with great clarity and detail. Gabor was patient, kind, and sensitive to the needs of the group.

One of the greatest tour guides it has been my good fortune to experience.

We began our time in Budapest with the most wonderful Jewish History walking tour with Noémi Csutak from Budapest Explorers.
Noémi is extremely knowledgable, enthusiastic and passionate, and she led our nine person tour with tremendous expertise.

I was so impressed that I booked Noémi for a four hour private tour for my traveling companion and myself for the following day.

I had come to Budapest in search of aspects of my ancestry, as well as wanting to research certain things pertaining to Jewish history in Budapest. I provided Noémi with a list of subjects and she diligently researched them overnight and was able to share plenty of facts on our private tour.

In summary, Budapest Explorers is an excellent choice for tourists and travellers wishing to see Budapest with friendly, knowledgeable and exceptionally kind and fun guides.

Barbi provided a comprehensive overview of Jewish history and Hungary - not just the grim parts of more recent times. Really helps provide an understanding of Hungary over hundreds of years. Fabulous and the small group makes it very interactive.
