Krakow Jewish Quarter Walking Tour
Description
There were times, throughout most recent history when Krakow did not seem all that multicultural and diverse. This tour will demonstrate how multicultural and diverse Krakow and Poland used to be in the past and what happened in Poland to have transformed our country into what it looks like these days. We started doing this tour as it is impossible to separate the lives and the history of Jews and Christians in Krakow. Kazimierz these days is referred to as a Jewish District however over many centuries it was a place of coexistence of both of these cultures. Find out where their history began back in the 11th century and why Jewish people ever chose the country of Poland for their settlements.

Zee was super - he provided a tailored and highly informative tour. He charmed all my children whilst educating us all too. He was generous with his time and also gave us some super restaurant tips too! Hugely recommend.
Anna was just great. We learned a lot of interesting things about Jewish life and history. Must do if you are in Krakow. There were only three of us and Anna answered all our questions comprehensively and expertly.
Zee was very knowledgeable and adapted the tour to meet the particular aspects we were interested in.
Thank you for the kind words. We always do our best to suit individual needs of our customers. We are glad the experience was to your liking.
Fantastic tour! I was the only person who booked it, but instead of cancelling, Zee made it into a personalized tour. He answered all of my questions and customized it to what I was most interested in seeing. Zee is extremely knowledgeable and the perfect tour guide. I could not recommend this tour more.
It was a pleasure showing you around! Many thanks for choosing to experience Krakow with us :)
