Outstanding Tour Guide - The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, made friends, and tried to include everyone on the tour. She is very personable, and you can tell she does the tours with a deep sense of importance to sure people what happened.

A tour not to be missed - We had a marvellous guide in Barbara she was so informative and friendly It was a small group size(8) which made asking questions so easy and personal
Particularly around Schindlers factory We then had a tour of the Ghetto area which opened our eyes on how the Jews were really treated by the Nazis there and she was able to tell us many stories of individual families
It’s all very emotional but well worth it

A packed and detailed tour - Enthusiastic host! Really detailed guide that gets you deep into the grit of pre German Krakow and during the occupation and subsequent horrors. I highly recommend this tour as it helps you understand the full timeline of events.

Learn Jewish culture. - An informative short walk by a very knowledgeable guide. A very old part of krakow that not only had a long past but recently was involved in a recent event.

Wonderful Tour - Helen was such a wonderful host/guide. Really friendly and so knowledable. Only thing I would say is to set aside approx. 5 hours for the tour. The Musuem is PACKED.

Jewish quarter review - We did the tour with Dominilka and she was was amazing. She had so much knowledge rg the history of Poland and the tour that we did which made the experience special. The only downside was that the Schindler's factory was very crowed when we did it but there is nothing the tour operator can do about it. Learned a lot, definitely recommend it.

Don’t Give your money to these. There will be better groups than this. - I get well on time for the meeting, but there were loads of people. It would have been helpful that the Guide would have raised that they were on the tour as an ENGLISH speaking group. No I was thinking “Where is my Group ?”. But NO there was no idea that this view should be recognised. So I went away frustrated, disappointed and let down.
