Amazing tour! - It was amazing. I did not wright down the name of our tour guide unfortunately.but just a hint - it is a British guy, who is in Krakow for 8 years 😃It took place yesterday, we did both tours with him: the old Krakow (first part of the day) and Jewish quarter after 3 p. m. My husband and I have really enjoyed it. Very informative, great organization and memorable! Highly recommend!

Definitely a must do!! - We did this tour in the afternoon of our first day in Krakow, having done the Old Town tour in the morning. Dale was our tour guide (on both tours) and was fantastic - very knowledgeable, clear and interesting in his delivery. He gave us such amazing insight into the Jewish Quarter and the Ghetto. I can't recommend this highly enough as a way to get to understand and know Krakow. The tours are free but you will definitely want to give them a generous tip at the end. Thanks Dale for one of the highlights of our Krakow visit.

Excellent insightful tour led by Dale - Excellent tour led by Dale, who was friendly, informative and insightful, on what is a very difficult subject. He really took the time to explain not only the history of Krakow leading to the horrific events of WWII but also how this unfolded. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to provide more in depth knowledge on this.

Bringing history alive - Thought I book the day of my tour wrongly, I was able to take the tour with Dale , an amazing tour guide guy, who brought the story of the Jewish neighborhood to life. I’m reading a book, after learning the story that it took place there. Excellent and full of knowledge, my visit to Krakow would have been different without the tour.
