Learned loads, will remember loads, enjoyed loads***** - The tour was easy to book, hassle free. Met at at a central location which was easy to get to. The Guide was a very nice knowledgeable gentleman. We took the english speaking tour and his english was excellent. He was able to easily answer the questions asked by other people in our group. Would definitely recommend this if you want to learn about the history of the Jewish community in the town. The Only mistake was our own which was that we forgot to take water with us, it was a very hot day and soon regretted the mistake! so worth remembering. Thanks

Great tour and guide - Andrej was our tour guide and we couldn’t have had a better one. He was super knowledgeable and passionate about showcasing us this wonderful city and its vast history. The Jewish tour is well worth the trip and we got to see quite a few of the filming locations for Schindler’s List.

Well Worth The While - I booked an hour away and m glad I did. The tour was very insightful. Plus points that it started near old town, where I am staying. Sofia (I am not sure of the name) was very knowledgeable. She even helped me find a schindler tour when we were already in the factory, even if she wasn’t finished with hers. The Schindler factory tour was starting and I had to rush that I forgot to give her a tip.

Knowledgeable guide, great city. - Great to understand the history behind the city, the Nazi occupation leading to the holocaust. Three hours but many stops to point out historical facts.

A highly recommended Krakow Tour - We were blessed by an amazing, charming & amusing guide who was clearly passionate about Krakow & highly knowledgeable on the subject matter of the tour. She gave us a verbal history on the origins & development of Judaism through the ages up to & including the present day. We were also escorted to particular sites of note in the Ghetto area, finishing a memorable experience at the Schlindler factory. Full marks to our guide & accompanying tourists from Ireland & the U.S.A. for making this tour such a pleasurable occasion, most definitely one of THE highlights of our Krakow stay. Dziękuję. 🇵🇱👍😊
