The tour provided a lot of information about Jewish history in Vienna. I was impressed with the guide's knowledge. He had images to show and give context about Jews in Vienna throughout time. I was expecting only to learn about the synagogue, but he gave us the story of Jews in Vienna from medieval to present. He gave recommendations on other sites to see and museums to visit. He asked several times for questions and and was engaged with the group. Highly recommend! I can not remember his name, but he was a young Jewish man studying psychology at University.

This tour was wonderful. We went at 10.00 am today , October 12th. The synagogue has onjy been open to the public for a year. Hearing how is survived, while all other temples were destroyed is fascinating and incredibly sad. The tour was factual, heart wrenching and uplifting with hope! One hour of your visit to Vienna which should never be missed.

We were there on 7/Sep/2022 with my husband. The temple is beautiful. We are surprised that the community has survived after the Nazi extermination and that there are Jews who want to continue their lives here. That is Faith and tenacity! I would have liked to know more about the old and current Jewish quarter.
