Thanks to our guide Margot! 5 hours of total immersion in Jewish culture. There were only 2 of us for the tour of the Jewish Quarter and Ghetto, which made it all the more interesting.

The whole tour from start to finish was excellent. For the Jewish quarter part of the tour, it was just us and 1 other person so it was brilliant being able to walk around as a small group. The tour around Schindler's Factory was great, even with a much bigger group. Using the earpieces we were able to clearly hear the tour guide. We then finished the tour with just us and our guide around the ghetto. Phil was a fantastic guide - incredibly personable and extremely knowledgeable. He spoke really clearly and was easy to understand. It's a long tour, but the time flew by and also included a 20 minute coffee break. We would definitely recommend.

We visited the Jewish quarter Kazimierz, Schindler's factory and the Ghetto in Krakau on 12NOV23 and we were guided by Phil. Phil was just an excellent guide !! He is very passionate and it was really a pleasure to have been guided by him. We were very impressed by his knowledge & his very enjoyable way of guiding the group. It was really Phil who made our day for the also very interesting sites we visited. CONGRATS TO PHIL from the twins from BELGIUM !

Your Experience

Bringing together the three most important places in Krakow’s Jewish history, this tour is almost like stepping back into time. You start with Kazimierz, the historic Jewish quarter, complete with synagogues, indie galleries, cafes, and quirky shops. Explore Szeroka Street and see the famous synagogues here including the Old Synagogue - the oldest preserved synagogue in Poland, the Remuh Synagogue, known for its stunning architecture and sacred art, and the Kupa Synagogue, where the poorest members of the Jewish community prayed.

Feel the pulse of the city as you enter Plac Nowy, surrounded by cafes and bars, as well as antique, vegetable and craft bazaars. See the Tempel Synagogue, the Corpus Christi Church and the Father Bernatek Footbridge, which connects Kazimierz with Podgórze. Your guide will tell you all fascinating stories about these places as you pass by them. At the Schindler Factory Museum discover the horrors of World War II and Oskar Schindler's exploits. In the Jewish ghetto, listen to your guide as they narrate stories and show you how the Jewish community lived during the Nazi occupation in Krakow. You will get to see a part of the undestroyed wall around the ghetto, houses where thousands of displaced Jews used to live, the pharmacy "Under the Eagle," as well as a monument with 68 chairs at the Heroes' Square in the ghetto.
