Excellent tour - would recommend - Dominika arrived on time at 2.20, as agreed. She was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The first part of the trip was easy-paced. Dominika explained all aspects of the area very well. For the trip to Schindler's factory, it would have possibly been nice to have more time, but we knew time would be limited. Very enjoyable nonetheless.

Thorough and Informative - Janna was kind and informative. She showed us many cultural traditions in the Jewish Quarter. She was glad to answer any questions we asked. She shared a lot of facts, legends and lore. When we walked through the Jewish Ghetto she identified different buildings and we saw part of the wall surrounding the ghetto. Thanks for a great tour!

Sobering and Interesting - Barbara was the perfect guide. No matter what I asked she always knew everything to give me a full appreciation of the history behind the tour. I was very lucky to have her to myself for the Jewish quarter part of the tour and it was just wonderful. The factory was a bit uncomfortable. As a museum it was detailed, comprehensive and interesting but I found the amount of nazi regalia repellent. Which is not a complaint, I can't think if a better place to put it, but it was deeply unnerving. The tour was a bit too big for me, with too many people so I ended up moving ahead at my own pace . Thanks Barbara for the adventure 😀

An interesting and informative tour - My wife and I found this walking tour very informative and interesting. Our guide was spoke excellent English, spoke clearly and was very easy to understand. It was interesting to hear about the way that the Jewish people were treated before the infamous holocaust. The exhibition in the factory office building was also very informative and moving. However, you do not visit the factory itself, which was next door. Do not let that put you off going; just don’t expect to tour a factory.

Well worth a Visit - Our Guide Magda arrived on time at the meeting Point at the Old Synagogue. She was very knowledgeable and shared lots of points of history during the walk around the Jewish Quarter before taking us through Hero Square and on to Schindler's Factory Tour. Magda was also the Tour Guide in Schindler's Factory and again she was very knowledgeable and made the Tour very interesting. This was approx 4.5 hours of walking but well worth it.
