Insightful and Memorable Tour – Thanks to Kristof! - We had a great experience on this tour. Our guide, Kristof, was absolutely fantastic – he shared an incredible amount of information, full of interesting, curious, and even funny anecdotes that really brought history to life. Kristof gets a solid 10/10 from us!
The only downside was the visit inside Schindler’s Museum. Although we did have the full 90 minutes, it still felt too short considering the amount of fascinating material available to read and explore. Everything felt a bit rushed, which is understandable given the number of groups, but it did take away a bit from the experience.
Aside from that, everything was excellent. Kristof – you're a legend!

Krzysztof Was amazing! - What an awesome tour! Way above our expectations. We were lucky to get phenomenal guide Krzysztof Who had so many stories to tell and explained everything so interestingly that even myself ( who has absolutely no interest in history and very short attention span) could not get enough of this tour and was genuinely disappointed when the tour came to the end. I already ordered a book “ the Krakow Ghetto Pharmacy” that how much this guide and this tour influenced me. . Highly recommend!

Excellent Walking Tour - Our guide, Bartholomew was excellent and very knowledgeable. He delivered sensitive information very diplomatically! In total there is about 4 miles of walking and at times it was a little quick but there was a schedule to keep to. Also note that Oscar Schindler’s factory is quite uneven in places and dark so you can’t always see where you are walking. All 3 trips merge perfectly into each other telling an overall story of Jewish history in Krakow pre, post and during WW2. This tour should be done before going to Auschwitz as this is the chronological historical order.

Emotionally profound experience. - The Kazimierz, Schindler's Factory and the Jewish Ghetto tour was conducted by Alicja (Alice) with sensitivity and with a depth of knowledge of the Nazi era in Krakow. I highly recommend this tour with Alicja if you are trying to understand the Holocaust. I also recommend the bookstore/cafe in the Schindler Factory for a copy of the book "Schindler's Ark" - known as "Schindler's List" in the US. These areas are crowded and Alicja navigated the group around the crowds like a pro.

Amazing tour - This tour was very informative. My guide was knowledgeable and friendly. She was able to answer all of our questions. What as sad was the necessity of such a tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn the sad history of Jews in Poland and especially Krakow.

Jewish Quarter, Krakow Walking Tour - It’s a long day, but worth every minute. I would definitely recommend Excursions City, they kept us informed by text message from our arrival in Krakow, didn’t make last minute changes to the schedule, and unlike some operators, they were professional and accommodating.
Our tour guide Helena was so knowledgeable and shared lots of very interesting stories and personal memories that really made the day. Her knowledge and passion for the history of Krakow, in particular the many sacrifices made by local Polish people during Nazi occupation was astounding. She really captured our imagination, which isn’t easy with such an emotive subject.

Informative - The guide was very good and definitely knew her history but it was very rushed and I think to improve it you should have more breaks and more time for pictures
