There is now a piece of Krakow and it's people in our hearts forever. - This day was honestly one of the best experiences of our lives. The tour was utterly enthralling from start to finish. Almost entirely due to our guide for the day... Helena.
Her knowledge and passion to share the story of her beloved city and nation was inspiring. She brought the stories to life wonderfully, although much of what she shared was incomprehensible.
My son and I have definitely went back to Northern Ireland with a piece of Krakow, and the people of Poland in our hearts.
Thank you Helena from the bottom of our hearts for the time you took to share your knowledge with us!

A walking tour well worth doing even in cold - This is a longer tour but it certainly did not feel that way. The tour guide was superb. She gave us little known information that really helped me understand the culture, structures and landmarks. The Schindler Museum was so well done and it was wonderful to be able to skip the line and walk in with our group. Considering it was January and really cold outside I would still consider this a do not miss.

Fantastic tour for my husband, myself and teens. - Our guide Dominca was amazing! She clearly communicated so much information non-stop for hours about life in the Jewish Quarter, the Krakow Ghetto and thru Schindlers Factory.

Impressive tour with Johanna our guide. - A day on the road with a guide seemed like the best introduction to Krakow
At least learned that we can't say Krakow. We started the tour in the Jewish Quarter.
So special to see that 7 synagogues are built so close together. That 5 are still active.
And only 150 Jewish people remain.
Of the 70,000 who lived there before the Second World War.
And also that more than 6 million Poles died during the second world war.
For no reason, innocent people were shot.
And then we hope humanity has learned something from this.
Then to the Schindler factory.
Our guide knew a lot about this because of her own family history. Then a walk through the Kraków Ghetto.
Wonderful how Johanna quoted pieces from a book and adapted it to our youngest participant in the group.
A 7 year old boy from Portugal.
Our compliments

Long day on your feet but excellent - Amazing, but be warned this is a long day on your feet so you need to bring packed lunch and drink to eat on the go. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and the pace was great since there was only 3 of us plus guide. Had my elderly mum with us, and walks slow so pace was just right.

Schindlers Factory - Many interesting stories about the history of Jewish quarters. We walked our way across to Schindlers Factory - a museum where we learnt about the history of German invasion of Poland / Krakow and how Schindler saved the lives of 1,200 Jewish people - amazing achievement.

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
