I think this tour was fine, showed the highlights of Pesh side of the city but also included some places that seemed less worthy of a visit. There are so many great sites in this city that are worthy of seeing, so I had hoped to see more in the time we had. The Belvarosi church was not that interesting and could have been a 10 min or less visit, just enough to see the Roman ruins. Also, I think I would have appreciated some maps or historical references to help appreciate the story of Budapests remarkable history.
Edina was really engaging and passionate about the way she spoke about architecture and its relationship to the history and culture of Budapest. She was able to weave an interesting narrative starting with the psychology of Hungarians and how the impact of occupations, wars, floods and other circumstances has shaped the art and architecture of the city. Architectural variations of buildings from Romanticism to Art Nouveau have some quirky features and Edina had a great way of articulating and detailing these elements. I think Edina would be a great guide for any tour about Budapest, as she is insightful and knowledgeable.

Daniel’s tour of Budapest’s Jewish history was outstanding. He is extremely knowledgeable and engaging, and he shared both the rich cultural heritage and the sad, tragic chapters of the community’s past with great sensitivity. His storytelling brought the history to life and made the experience deeply meaningful. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Budapest
