Would have wanted to follow her along for the the next tour of the Schindler’s factory but we hadn’t booked in advance. It gave us a nice taste of things we want to go back and see on our own”

10.Jewish Krakow Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 307 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $26

Walk Krakow’s Jewish Quarter with a local guide, from the Old Synagogue to the WWII ghetto square, in English, about 2.5 hours.

“My wife and I have been on a lot of walking tours and this is definitely one of the best. Our guide (Lucy) did an excellent job. Oftentimes guides get too into the weeds, bombarding us with dates and names so a 2 1/2 hours long tour becomes totally exhausting. Lucy presented the important historical events and facts in an interesting way with narratives around people. She was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the Jews and the Jewish quarters and presented her knowledge in a straightforward and engaging way. I felt learned more on this tour than on most other tours I have been on.”
