It is a walking tour, so prepare to walk (4-6 km). Great tour! Nice way to learn a small part of Krakow’s history and Jewish Quarter and Ghetto. Our guide Michael provided a lot of information, and he was very friendly and passionate to tell the story of Jewish and Polish people who lived in the area. Suggestion: tour ends at Schindler’s Factory so its a good idea to sync your tours to visit the factory after this tour. Allow yourselves some time to take a break (toilets, food, drinks) cause you might need to restore some energy after a long walk.

The Jewish quarter is buzzing with student life, here are the pubs and terraces. Until the film Shindler's list, this neighborhood was dilapidated and unimportant. Now it is fully alive. Take a look at the tourist paths and you will see the decline, that gives it extra charm; There are still houses that have not been inhabited since the war because the owners have been deported and until now none of the family claims that property. You get shivers when you realize this while standing in front of such a house. Apparently not many Jews live in this neighborhood anymore, but we still had a nice meal in one of the Jewish restaurants. We opted for a Dutch-speaking guide here, which was more expensive, but still makes it easier for everyone to follow. She was very aloof, that was not very pleasant.

One of the best tours we have done. Our guide was incredible. Very knowledgeable and able to bring the topic alive with relevant details. We really enjoyed the references to Schindler’s List and being able to relate to the events in the film and match filming locations certainly was a bonus with a teenager along. I would highly recommend.
