Great Overview of Jewish History in Krakow - This is actually a three part tour (10000 steps) and many along the way were disappointed they had only signed up for one or two parts. The local independent guide is very knowledgeable and supplements the tour with photographs. It was a small group tour and the VIP entrance to Schindler’s factory is worth it. The complete tour is five hours with a break for lunch. It is easy to walk to and from the tour from the old town.

Well worth doing! - This tour was great and well worth doing in Krakow. Barbara was great. Friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to follow. The tour was well paced and gave a deep insight into the city’s Jewish history, with powerful stories and locations. Schindler’s Factory was especially moving. Highly recommend this tour if you want to understand more about Kraków’s past and see some incredible sites along the way.

Best tour we've ever been on - My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Helen and spending about 5.5 hours touring Krakow's Jewish quarter and then Schindler's Factory. This is not to be missed. Please request Helen as your guide.....her personal knowledge and connection to this story is unbelievable.

Insightful and Memorable Tour – Thanks to Kristof! - We had a great experience on this tour. Our guide, Kristof, was absolutely fantastic – he shared an incredible amount of information, full of interesting, curious, and even funny anecdotes that really brought history to life. Kristof gets a solid 10/10 from us!
The only downside was the visit inside Schindler’s Museum. Although we did have the full 90 minutes, it still felt too short considering the amount of fascinating material available to read and explore. Everything felt a bit rushed, which is understandable given the number of groups, but it did take away a bit from the experience.
Aside from that, everything was excellent. Kristof – you're a legend!

Krzysztof Was amazing! - What an awesome tour! Way above our expectations. We were lucky to get phenomenal guide Krzysztof Who had so many stories to tell and explained everything so interestingly that even myself ( who has absolutely no interest in history and very short attention span) could not get enough of this tour and was genuinely disappointed when the tour came to the end. I already ordered a book “ the Krakow Ghetto Pharmacy” that how much this guide and this tour influenced me. . Highly recommend!

Excellent Walking Tour - Our guide, Bartholomew was excellent and very knowledgeable. He delivered sensitive information very diplomatically! In total there is about 4 miles of walking and at times it was a little quick but there was a schedule to keep to. Also note that Oscar Schindler’s factory is quite uneven in places and dark so you can’t always see where you are walking. All 3 trips merge perfectly into each other telling an overall story of Jewish history in Krakow pre, post and during WW2. This tour should be done before going to Auschwitz as this is the chronological historical order.

Krakow: Jewish Quarter Kazimierz & Schindler's Factory - Be preapered for a long walk, tour guide was quite negative on explaining events and tour. Schindler's Factory was not a tour of the factory and very basic. Still very interesting about the history
