Per one customer who booked the Jewish Quarter Kazimierz and Schindler's Factory Guided Tour, "We went on a tour with Helena to the Jewish Quarter and the Shindler's factory we were hooked! So much so we stayed another hour to explore the Ghetto with her.... Her passion to educate around the despair and devastation for all involved in the time of the Nazi occupation made it emotional for us, we thought we knew most of what happened here... oh how wrong we were! So much to learn in this trip about Poland, Jewish faith, beautiful buildings, story's both devastating and inspiring, Thank you Helena for such a detailed and informative insightful tour, we would recommend you book this tour!"
