Excellent Tour with Chris - Chris was an excellent tour guide - knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all our questions. We wanted a private tour given the solemnity of the topic. Unknowingly, I booked both the Krakow City Tour and the Krakow Ghetto tour with Chris, spending the morning and afternoon with him which turned out fantastic. I highly recommend his tours.

Brilliant and friendly guide - Chris is a brilliant guide who gave us a fascinating and insightful walking tour of the Jewish Quarter in Krakow. He also drove us to Auschwitz for a private tour and arranged our visit to the Salt Mines. His knowledge of Krakow and all it has to offer is encyclopedic and he is delightful company. All three of his restaurant recommendations were exceptional and we would certainly engage him again when we next come visit this region of Poland.

A few days in Krakow with Chris the tour guide - Chris is an excellent and Knowledgable guide. He met us at our hotel for this walking tour of the Kracow Jewish quarter and we added a Tour of Schindlers Factory as well. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and its history, he pointed out many of the buildings where famous people had lived and gave very detailed historical facts about the area. We moved around at a steady pace and we were not rushed at all. After a full tour of the Jewish Quarter we went onto the Jewish Ghetto and Chris explained the events that happened there fully. On leaving the Hero’s Place we went across the way to Schindlers Factory were Chris had arranged our entry beforehand. He accompanied us throughout the building explaining fully as we went along. Again a very informative and well researched tour was had. Chris is an excellent guide and we would recommend his reasonably priced tour services. We also used Chris the following day to ferry us to Auscwitz/Birkeneu in the morning, then he took us to the Salt Mines near to Kracow in the afternoon, before returning us to the hotel in the Old Town. Chris was not able to guide us on the tours but on the way to both locations he was a mind of information and facts , pointing out various locations en route.

Excellent and informative tour which covered a huge amount in a short time. Christopher was excellent - My guide Christopher was very knowledgeable not only about the history of the Jewish Quarter but also current Krakov and the Jewish community. Christopher explained a huge amount in the short tour and made sure I experienced the best. Overall this was an excellent tour which I recommend to people interested in the Jews of Poland and Krakov in particular. Christopher also provided details of films and books to see and read to supplement what was discussed on the tour. All round excellent service and follow up.
