What an amazing lady! Full of really interesting information. We loved our time with Edith , learnt so much and was so special to hear of her family experiences. She answered every question with passion and enthusiasm . She was patient too as I messed up the meeting point .the best experience we had in beautiful Budapest! Would recommend in a heartbeat
Our guide Edith was fabulous! Very knowledgeable about the history of the Jewish Quarter as well as Budapest as a whole. I would highly recommend this tour.😊
Our guide, Edith, was excellent! Our tour was alot of walking, although we did take the tram and bus in-between walks. We had to pay an extra fee to enter the synagogue, which was a little pricey, but we were glad that we got to see it.
It was moving, comprehensive and informative Our guide Edith was wonderful, kind and thoughtful With a great sense of the importance of the history
Edith was not only an expert in her field but was also so well spoken. Her English was perfect. We found her friendly and enthusiastic about all the places we visited. Her growing up in Budapest made our every experience very meaningful. We would recommend any visitor to Budapest to be able to spend some time with Edith to hear her expertise on the many historical places in the city. Highly recommended Avron & Jean
Excellent guide Edith.. the very best and adding in her family’s personal information made it all come to life!!!
Our tour guide, Edith, gave us a wonderful Jewish Heritage tour. She was so very friendly and knowledgeable and helped us really understand the plight of the Jewish people during the reign of Hitler. The tour is 3 hours and you should be ready to walk. I highly recommend Edith for any tour of the Jewish area of Budapest.
Edith is as a wonderful guide. Highly recommend this tour and her as a guide.
We had a great time on this tour. Edith was an excellent guide, after we met, we got tickets for the subway to the shoes on the Danube memorial. She showed us how our transit ticket could be used for bus and tram also which we used later in the day on our own. We also went to several other memorials and finally to the Dohány street synagogue where she gave a great explanation of everything. Highly recommend this tour.
Edith was a remarkable guide of the Jewish Quarter and Synagogue during my visit to Budapest. Her English was excellent and she was very knowledgeable about all the historical facts. I had the pleasure of being the only participant that particular day and so it was a very meaningful experience for me. It was a great pleasure meeting her and would highly recommend this tour!
