Fascinating tour!
Wonderful experience. Our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and we go to hear lots of stories about the area. It was fascinating. Extremely humbling and at times emotional. Not ideal for those with mobility issues. Lots of walking. My sister and I enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend.
Operator response
Thank you for your wonderful and thoughtful review! We’re delighted that you and your sister enjoyed the fascinating stories and found the experience meaningful. You’re right that the tour involves quite a lot of walking, so comfortable footwear is recommended. Thank you for the recommendation!
Best regards,

A short tour but...
A short but interesting tour with a lot of information about the Jewish ghetto in Krakow during the Nazi occupation. I recommend visiting the museum in Schindler's factory before or after. The guide Anna is kind and knowledgeable with good English.
Operator response
Grazie per aver condiviso la sua esperienza! Siamo felici che il tour le sia sembrato interessante e ricco di informazioni sulla storia del ghetto ebraico di Cracovia durante l'occupazione nazista. Ci fa particolarmente piacere sapere che ha apprezzato la professionalità, la preparazione e la gentilezza di Anna. Grazie anche per il consiglio di abbinare questa visita al Museo della Fabbrica di Schindler: è un ottimo suggerimento per approfondire ulteriormente questo importante capitolo della storia.
Cordiali saluti, Mateusz

Informative and memorable tour. Definitely worth booking
Dominique was everything you could wish a guide to be. Very informative, giving detailed information, happy to answer ad hoc questions, very easy to talk to and was clearly very passionate about her subject. She had historic photos with her which helped us to understand and bring everything into context.
We asked her for recommendations of places to visit in the Jewish quarter. We would never have found these ourselves and this really added to our experience in Krakow.
Following the tour we have been inspired to follow up and read more on the subject and history.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that Dominique provided such an engaging and enriching experience. Her passion, knowledge, and openness to questions truly help bring the history to life, and we’re glad the historic photos added valuable context to your tour.
It’s also great to know that her recommendations helped you discover places in the Jewish Quarter you might not have found on your own, and that your visit inspired you to learn even more about the history of Krakow. That is exactly the kind of lasting impact we hope our tours create.
We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again in the future.
Best regards, Maciej
