Krakow Jewish Quarter

Karolina, was brilliant. Very knowledgeable about Poland's history and past. It was absolutely freezing and we had big group, so we were equally impressed how she kept people engaged.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! It’s no small feat to keep a large group engaged when it’s absolutely freezing, so we’re thrilled to hear Karolina did such a brilliant job. We're glad her passion for Polish history kept you motivated despite the temperature. Stay warm and enjoy the rest of your trip!

Brilliant!

My partner and myself tend to do these “free” walking tours on all city breaks. Brilliant! Super informative and really friendly.
