Saturday morning walk - Jacek was very knowledgeable and informative on our walk this morning. He shared his knowledge with the group which wasn’t always easy with the large group and the outside street noise. He also has a passion for his work which was evidence by his enthusiasm and engaging personality. I would highly recommend any tours that he gives.

He had a deep knowledge of the history of the area and presented the information expertly. He welcomed any questions and answered them all professionally. We all left much better informed and keen to learn more.

Top Notch Tour - The was more than just a tour - on AM, Saturday 14 September. The tour guide (Michael - not sure of the name in Polish ) - was excellent. He accommodated the heavy rain very well too. Knowledgable, easy to follow and most informative beyond just the things we were visiting / seeing. The whole “thing” came together in a most fascinating and interesting way. Plaudits due!

Great walking tour of the Jewish quarter and Ghetto - Great guide who was very knowledgeable and she condensed 1000 years of history into 2 1/2hrs. The pace was good and she was able to answer any questions.
