This tour was the highlight of my trip to Budapest -such important history and was glad to have such a knowledgeable guide (Benjamin). Benjamin was amazing - encyclopedic knowledge and lots of great information both historical and contemporary. Many thanks!

Our guide, Benjamin, exceled with his knowledge and the way in which he expressed it. The tour was most fascinating, both visually and by listening. The itinerary cover many aspects of the Jewish area with visits to the inside of Synagogue. very good value for money

Is there such a thing as a zero review? Such high hopes for this adventure, a full day immersed in history. Sadly not to be. The guide was a no show. Ok, that's frustrating, and considering all the planning in advance I did to select this tour plus losing a full day of touring, and I am using my words kindly and saying I am not pleased. But add to it I was picked up at my hotel, dropped off in front of the first synagogue without ANY DIRECTION of what comes next. Waiting 5 minutes, 10 minutes, mind you it was 22 degrees outside. 15 minutes, by 20 without anyone showing up; calling them over and over and receiving different answers each time. First was Bejamin, a tall man with brown hair, should be there. I quote "inside or outside" the synagogue. First of all, I didn't have a ticket so no way to get in and see if there was a tall man of that description. Had to call back to get further details, and it wasn't until the 20 minute mark that they shared the guide had been rerouted to another tour group and they were trying to find someone for us. That someone never came. What to do after standing for 20+ minutes in 22 degree weather and having to find an alternative itinerary on the fly???? Purchased my own ticket and went into the synagogue. Called the operator 4 times, then texted with La Vacanza Travel. End result? They refunded me BUT DEDUCTED THE TAXI THEY PICKED ME UP IN. THE TAXI THEY ORDERED. THE TAXI I WOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN IF NOT IN ANTICIPATION OF MY TOUR. Another note, I communicated with the operator yesterday a few times. If there was any issue they knew where and how to contact me, but they did not. Somehow this is my fault and I am the one who was penalized; me, the customer.

This was an amazing tour! Our guide Benjamin was a very intelligent and well-spoken student of Jewish history and enriched our lives with his personal family stories. Highly recommended!
