  The guide knew so much history of Krakow and his explanations were so interesting and enjoyable. He made the whole experience so much fun and informative. He also made adaptations because we had gone to the castle in the morning before he tour so we appreciated that so much.

  Our guide Konrad was very pleasant and engaging. Very knowledgeable as well. Our tour started out in the pouring rain, so the first few minutes in the Jewish quarter we’re from the van. We were able to walk about when the rain stopped. Konrad offered a place to buy a rain poncho or umbrella if we needed one. We got separated from the group for a time and he didn't seem annoyed with us at all (although we were rather embarrassed!).
