Fil was a great guide. It was a very interesting tour. We were able to hear him though earphones and a set given out at the beginning of the trip. Every place was well explained and photographs aided the understanding. I would recommend this tour.

Insights into everyday life for Jews and others under the nazi regime

margaret_s, Apr 2026

Go on this tour if you want to learn about everyday life for Jews and Polish people under the Nazi regime in Krakow. The guide was very informative and pointed out significant landmarks as we walked along with her. She willingly answered questions and responded to comments from the group. One of the best tours I have been on. I took the one hour tour. It would be better to take a longer tour because there is so much to learn.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly - we had a great time and learned a lot! It was great hearing about the history of the area from a local.

The best tour of our holiday!

Helen_S, Jul 2024

Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and really engaging, he answered all of our questions and we learnt a lot. Our favourite part of the tour was being able to see the remains of the Ghetto wall, something we definitely wouldn’t have found by ourselves.

Excellent and Worth

lancashirelady137, Nov 2022

Phillip was an excellent guide who gave us a great deal of knowledge of the area and its terrible history. It was a pleasure to be guided by such a polite young man who was knowledgeable

Knowledge, excellent trip

Amber_H, Jun 2022

Guide was very knowledgable, definitely recommend this trip. Me and my partner booked on last minute we made our own way to the pick up location where the guide was waiting for us. It was a small group there was 8 of us in total on the trip. Little tip West comfy shoes

Excellent Tour

Tanya_G, Aug 2021

Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Excellent tour of the Jewish ghetto. He was very well informed and sensitive.

not exciting

Raffaella_e, Mar 2026

You can't see anything of the old ghetto now, except two pieces of wall still standing. You walk for an hour in the neighborhood, with some explanation of the guidebook of what life was like in the time of the ghetto, but it takes a lot of imagination.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Grazie per la sua recensione. È vero che poche tracce visibili del Ghetto sono sopravvissute fino ad oggi, ma gli edifici abitati dalla popolazione ebraica sono ancora in piedi e gran parte della struttura stradale di quel periodo si è conservata. I racconti della guida sono un modo per preservare la memoria della tragedia della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. La invitiamo a partecipare a una visita guidata dell'ex quartiere ebraico di Kazimierz, dove i resti dei suoi ex abitanti sono molto meglio conservati.

Authentic guidance with heart

Andreas_B, Sep 2025

Our lady who gave us the tour was so authentic in the narrative, the feelings and private stories that went with it. Absolutely recommendable if you would know her name, absolutely book there.

Si visitas Cracovia con la intención de conocer los campos, añádele este tour, lo vale !

Fabiola_M, Sep 2024

Si te interesa el tema, vale la pena el tour, prácticamente fue un tour privado ya que solo éramos las 4 personas de mi familia; bastó de información por parte de la guía, llevaba imágenes impresas para darnos una mejor guía, y conoces otra parte de la historia, visitas lugares representativos que están fuera del centro de la ciudad.
