Fantastic insight into Jewish history in Krakow - Booked tour for myself and Dad on Thursday 19th Sept. I think the tour guide was Joanna. She was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. We popped into the Oscar Schindler factory for a few mins which we'd already been to but she added another layer of facts and stories about Mr Schindler which was fun. The tour is well paced, you're not overwhelmed with facts and you're not knackered at the end of it. Highly recommended.

Very informational - We ended up having a private tour and we were the only 2 on this one. Joanna was such a great tour guide that we also signed up for her afternoon old town tour.

Highly recommended - Very enjoyable tour with a very knowledgeable and proud local guide . I was worried we would see the things covered in the old town tour again but this was so different and showed us areas we had no idea about

Amazing tour of Kazimierz district of Krakow - Such an enlightening tour of an important part of Krakow's history. Sofie did an amazing job of guiding us through the Kazimierz district of the city. A must see while in Krakow to understand the plight of the Jews during WWII in this part of Poland.

Outstanding tour! - MAGDA was my guide and she was INCREDIBLE. She covered all the historical detail and storylines associated with Jewish Poland. We visited all 7 synagogues and key historical sites including what remains of the ghetto wall. I can’t recommend her and this tour enough.

History comes to life - Awesome knowledge guide, it rained during our tour however I guide was patient and asked us what we would prefer to do even proving one person on our tour with her umbrella. Our guide was an expert on the history of the city and really brought the history to life for us!

Thankyou Krzysztof, a great tour. - A big thankyou to Krzysztof for a fabulous tour. Very informative and interesting and emotional too. There were only 3 people on the tour which was a real bonus as we had ample opportunity to ask questions/discuss in more detail.

WASTE OF TIME - Worst tour we have ever been on. You take 10 steps and stop to talk for 10 min. Took us 1.5hrs to even get to Kazimierz by foot. Andrzej was rude and although knowledgeable does not know how to guide an entertaining tour. The whole group was very bored and annoyed. We decided to leave the tour at that point as it was a waste of time. ALSO, THEY OFFER FREE TOURS ONCE YOU GET INTO KAZIMIERZ. When I tried to get a refund the tour guide was offended and lied to Viator and said we were late, he had to meet us elsewhere etc. which wasn’t at all true. They won’t even give me a partial refund. Terrible customer service as well. Save your time and money.
