"Milan was a wonderful guide. Highly knowledgeable and injected humor as well as personal connections with the stories and history he shared."
"Milan was an excellent tour guide provided us with so much information and shared a lot of personal experiences. It was a great tour!"
"Milan was extremely knowledgeable and kept to tour interesting. We spent the first hour in the Great Synagogue (Dhanya) followed by a visit to the adjacent Holocaust Museum. We then proceeded to the Rumbach Synagogue at the edge of the Ghetto. Finally, we walk to the Orthodox shul although we didn't go in. overall, this was a very enlightening tour."
"Our recent Jewish heritage tour of Budapest with Malan was exceptional. His knowledge, passion and genuine personal connection to the history made the experience both fascinating and deeply meaningful. Malan brought Budapest’s Jewish history to life through the stories of the people, the community and the events that shaped it. His insights went well beyond what you would find in a guidebook, and he created a very personal and engaging experience for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Malan and came away with a much deeper appreciation and understanding of Budapest’s Jewish heritage. We would highly recommend Malan to anyone looking for an exceptional and memorable Jewish tour of Budapest."
