Jewish history - I was the only one on this tour so I had the opportunity to ask many questions. Unfortunately the synagogues were closed for a holiday so we couldn’t go in but the guide had photos of the interiors. My goal was to see parts of the city that I would not have seen on my own and that goal was accomplished. I learned quite a bit about Jewish history in Budapest.
