Excellent and informative tour which covered a huge amount in a short time. Christopher was excellent - My guide Christopher was very knowledgeable not only about the history of the Jewish Quarter but also current Krakov and the Jewish community. Christopher explained a huge amount in the short tour and made sure I experienced the best. Overall this was an excellent tour which I recommend to people interested in the Jews of Poland and Krakov in particular. Christopher also provided details of films and books to see and read to supplement what was discussed on the tour. All round excellent service and follow up.

Factual and Historical Experience! - The private Krakow Jewish Quarter, Kazimierz, and Krakow Ghetto Tour we booked through Viator was really worth it. We booked the tour prior to our vacation, and scheduled it on a Sunday, 6/2/24 and our licensed city guide was Krzysztof Balszczyk (“Chris” for short). Chris came to pick us up from our hotel on time at 9 am. We were already waiting for him at the lobby. Chris was so accomodating, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. We learned a lot from him from this tour. He took us to all the spots that we need to see and discover. He explained thoroughly if we asked for clarification and more information. He was very patient when we need to take photos, we even have a photo with him. Our tour lasted for 2.5 hours. He was kind enough to drop us back to the vicinity of the restaurant where we decided to eat lunch. This tour with Chris is definitely a must for every tourist who visits Krakow, Poland. Thank you very much, Chris for everything. Please continue being the nice person that you are. You are excellent at what you do. Hope Britanico and Soter “Jake” Britanico From California, USA

Highly Recommended! - Chris is an excellent guide. He is very experienced and was knowledgable on everything about Krakow/Poland. He was very reliable and was very easy to communicate with through emails from the initial planning process. The Jewish Quarter is a very nice area to hang out and spend your time while in Krakow - and we were able to appreciate its history better through his guidance. I highly recommend getting Chris as your guide if you will be visiting Krakow or doing day trips from Krakow.

Excellent tour guide - Our family of 3 adults took 2 tours with Christopher: this one and his Krakow Old Town tour. Both were great choices. He has many more tour offerings than what is found on TripAdvisor under a different website: just search the words cracowguide and christopher. Chris hit the right balance of providing interesting historical and background information without being overwhelming. That said, he knows his history. Communication about confirming times & meeting places was thorough. He was friendly, respectful, and punctual and put us at ease. Well worth the reasonable price!
