So much knowledge and passion - Prior arriving to Poland Seweryn had communicated with me explaining in detail all the plans and seemed super organised. The morning of our tour, I had accidentally slept through my alarm but Seweryn made sure to wait for me. While walking through the Jewish Quarter together he was super knowledgeable at every corner and knew how to answer every question I had. We walked into cafes and even through the market which I found fun. As I was travelling solo in a country I have never been I was nervous as I didn’t know what to expect but Seweryn made me feel super comfortable. He knew how to crack a joke and while also respectful. He was clear and well spoken so I could easily understand him. He suggested places to visit and things to eat while I explored alone that day. Once the tour finished he explained the following tours details and walked me back. I had a lovely experience and hope many read this review and decide to allow him to show you around the beautiful city of Krakow.

Jewish life in Krakow over the centuries. - If you want to learn about Jewish life in Krakow, you couldn't come to a better place. Seweryn has a lot of knowledge on this subject and is a very nice person.

Krakow Jewish Quarter with An Expert - This was a very interesting tour and Seweryn made the experience even better with his vast knowledge of Jewish History (he leads trips to Israel so his experience extends beyond Krakow). I highly recommend the tour and be sure to find a time when he is available. We combined both Old Town and Jewish Quarter which made for a full day but it was fascinating and well worth it.

Jewish quarter and Ghetto - Seweryn was great in communication before the tour. When we met, we found a very friendly, helpful man who is so knowledgeable of the Jewish quarter and Ghetto. We all said we learnt so much from Seweryn on this tour. Well worth a visit Thanks again Seweryn.
