Jewish Ghetto tour with Lucia - an A+ activity

Debbie_T, Apr 2026
Lucia was an amazing tour guide. Delightful and knowledgable in one. She even sent us some recommendations for other things to do after the tour. The Jewish ghetto history is both fascinating and sad, and Lucia is fantastic at presenting the info. Highly recommend this tour!
