Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It is a wonderful build in the Toxteth area. With gorgeous terracotta brick work throughout it has a highly ornate façade.
It was completed in 1874 and reflects various artistic influences. Outstanding is the large wheel window above a decorative entrance portal.

I arranged a visit for a group of four to the Synagogue on 8 June. None of us were prepared for the impact this brilliant tour would have. From the friendly greeting, the history, the personal stories through to the fabulous explanations of some of the fundamental cornerstones of the Jewish religion, we were thoroughly engaged throughout. I had long wanted to visit the Synagogue, having heard for many years what a great building it is. The interior of the building is amazing and actually made me quite emotional. Support this place in any way you can but do arrange a visit. Deeply grateful to Eric for the humour, the history and the entire experience.

Today I visited this synagogue along with the Liverpool history society. I have promised myself I would visit since I moved here 4 years ago and now I have. The actual building and everything inside will take your breath away. The icing on the cake though was the most informative talk we got from one of the members. I can recommend to anyone (whatever their faith) a visit to here. You will not be disappointed.

Finally got round to doing this tour and it didn't disappoint. I've driven past the synagogue for years and wondered about its story. Inside it is so impressive and very beautiful. Our guide was very welcoming, knowledgeable and interesting and not just about the synagogue but about Jewish traditions and history.
A hidden gem and well worth a visit.

I and my wife were shown around this magnificent building by a member of the local jewish community who was acting as a guide. He was very informative. If you are visiting Liverpool don't forget to see this great building and do take the tour - it is well worth it!

This synagogue is quite simply beautiful - I presume it went up in the Victorian period, along with most of the other buildings along Prince's Road. It's not generally open to the public, and casual visitors are not admitted. However, the building is open for visitors once a year in the city-wide open weekend (usually falls in late Summer), but even then one has to sign up in advance.
I once had the privelege of attending the naming ceremony for the daughter of one of my Jewish friends there. It was fascinating to see the form of worship, and the building serving its purpose - but it lasted for almost four hours!

The dark and subdued exterior of the building is in total contrast to its ornate and beautifully decorated colorful interior. We really enjoyed our guided visit to this majestic historic synagogue. With falling numbers of active members in the Liverpool Jewish community it is probably getting more difficult to maintain the upkeep of this lovely place. Therefore we were happy to pay a small fee for the lovely personal tour in order to help contribute. Well worth taking the time to visit.

Undoubtedly one of Liverpool's architectural gems, the building is close to the city centre and easily accessed. Everyone should make an effort to visit here (prior booking essential). Knowledgeable guides will give you a most interesting tour of the glorious interior and you will learn about the history and traditions of the jewish faith.

We went to see this on the open day and we were blown away by the beauty of the building and the people were really welcoming and a lady gave us a really informative explanation of the Jewish faith!

What time and days does Princes Synagogue do tours for visitors?
Written 13 March 2020
Is the tour wheelchair friendly ?
Written 10 March 2019
There were probably one or two steps to get from the street into the synagogue itself, but once inside I seem to recall it was all flat. You have to call to book anyway, and it is all very low-key and friendly, so just call and ask. As it's a synagogue I would be very surprised if they couldn't accommodate you. It's a lovely building, and if like us you've not been in a synagogue before you get to learn a lot too.

I have not been successful in being able to set up a tour. I got someone in the main office once & she said she’d give my contact info to the tour guide, but I haven’t heard back. Now when I call, all I get is a recording. Any suggestions?

Hi,
You can arrange a tour of the synagogue by phoning our office on 0151 709 3431. As far as I'm aware there are no Jewish tours of Liverpool itself.
I hope that helps you.
