    We loved our tour with Gabor

    "We absolutely loved our Jewish quarter tour with Gabor. He was so knowledgeable, informative, friendly and helpful. Gabor wove Jewish history with more current history and information about the area and country. We felt we learnt so much and enjoyed our time with him immensely. Thank you Gabor for a fantastic tour. I highly recommend anyone considering this tour to do so with Gabor. "

    A Wonderful Jewish Tour

    "Beautiful Day for walking. We explored the Jewish area and heard about the plight of the Jews throught Budapest history. We also experienced an inside view of the famous New York Cafe and thanks to Zsuzsi we were able to enter without reservation and enjoy the beautiful Cafe. Sadly the Dohany St. synagogue was closed, but we viewed the exterior of it including the Silver Memorial tree. A truly great day. Thanks so much for your kindness."

    Knowledgeable and engaging

    "Gabor gave a great tour of the Jewish Quarter, describing in detail large sections that have been demolished, rebuilt, or converted into modern establishments. He pointed out numerous places where evidence has been preserved. Gabor was an engaging tour guide and we highly recommend him. "

    Perfect fit

    "We booked a Jewish heritage tour with him. But we could asked him anything about the history and he was very happy to share his knowledge. He customized the tour by questioning our special interests and he put detailed perspectives on that. He has a very wide knowledge of history and present and happily shared this with us . Also places for food we asked him. It was never boring to listen to him and he was a perfect fit for us. "

    Excellent, Jewish Quarter, a must see!

    "Zsuzi showed us areas to explore since we were with her on our first day. She also advised us on restaurants (my husband is vegan) and was able to get us a reservation for the Danube cruise, a nice gesture as we had trouble booking. She had good knowledge of the Jewish history and area. Unfortunately by the time we got to the Dohány synagogue it was closed, so we went on our own another day. Overall - Highly recommend!! "
