The best tour

Amazing experience

It was amazing to discover the Jewish history in Krakow through Agnieszka‘s explanations. She was very thorough and spared no details. She also gave some amazing food recommendations. Her impassioned closing thoughts about war and peaceful coexistence were very moving. Thank you, Agnieszka!

Excellent tour

Mateusz did a terrific job. He was very knowledgeable. We have learned a lot about Jewish life in Cracow and about the German occupation. I can recommend this tour without the slightest reservation.

Wonderful, informative, educational - everything that you'd want

Magda took us on a great tour in the afternoon, and there were some in the group that she had on a separate morning tour. Overall this was continually educational, informative, interesting and entertaining - everything that you want in a tour of a city that you are not familiar with. From an overview of the key locations, people, historical events, right through to the modern day - with all of the highlights - bridges, chairs, statues, pharmacy (it'll make sense after you do the tour), this cannot be more highly recommended.
