With the help of a historian, this 3 hour walking tour allows you to grasp the dynamic experience of what Jewish culture and everyday life in Budapest meant before WWII. Major sites include Óbuda synagogue, Dohány Synagogue, small Hasidic shtibls and Sephardicrite prayerhouses, and the two ghettos of Budapest in the XIII. and VII. Districts.

I recently participated in the Jewish History and Heritage Walking Tour of Budapest, and it was an exceptional experience. Our tour guide, Agi, was fantastic. Her extensive knowledge and passion for the history of the Jewish community, from past to present, made the tour incredibly informative.
One of the highlights was visiting the three synagogues and the Jewish Museum. Agi provided detailed explanations about each location and the surrounding neighborhood, enriching our understanding of their historical and cultural significance.
By the end of the tour, we felt we had gained a deep and comprehensive understanding of the Jewish community in Budapest. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the rich history and heritage of this remarkable community.

Endre was the most knowledgeable tour guide we have ever had. He brought us to so many informative spots that told the story of the Jewish Quarter. He was attentive, helpful, and highly intelligent. We are so lucky to have met him and had him as our guide.

Kata is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the Jewish and Hungarian history. We asked her a lot of questions and she was very kind to answer all of that. At the date we booked the tour, one of the Jewish church was not open, so she took us to a lovely museum to see Jewish life from 1500 to 1900, it was very interesting. We liked her so much so that we asked her to take her to the Buda castle on the next day.

Another informative and entertaining tour. Andras brought the history of the Jewish community in Budapest into vivid focus. Not only beautiful but poignant and heartbreaking. The synagogue is amazingly beautiful and Andras was very knowledgable about its history and the symbolism of its design. He gave me a much better understanding of the Jewish faith. The highlight for me was the tree of life and its engraved petals. A tribute both to the horror of the Holocaust and the hope of life.

Kata made Budapest's Jewish history come alive for us with her genuine enthusiasm and knowledge. We were blown away by the beauty and atmosphere of the synagogues. The combination of her tour with the Downtown Pest tour we took on our first day gave us such a vivid picture of Budapest. Thank you.

I have used InsightCities guides on many of my trips. When I knew I was going to Budapest with my daughter, I immediately searched to see what tours Insight Cities had there. We were so fortunate to have Eszter as our guide. I cannot image what this trip would have been like without the tour. We gained so much insight into the history of Budapest and the Jewish community.
