The best exciursion, worth the whole trip, The museum is excellent, but we had an unforgettable time because of a brilliant tourguide named Thomas with the yellow umbrella. We were happily only 8 on the tour, and Thomas not only informed us of the history of Schindler’s Factory, but he brought to life for us emotionally, what it had been like to live in Krakow in the 30’s and 40’s. Thomas has a great talent for his job! What a future awaits him! He knows so much and our group was so grateful.

We were worried that in the freezing temperatures that the car would be cold but it was surprisingly warm. We had headsets that explained the history of key buildings (castle and churches) but the best part of the tour was the historical tour of the Jewish Quarter and scenes of the ghetto during the Second World War. We visited Schindler's factory too which was excellent.

This is a guide of what is was like to live in Krakow during the war rather than a tour of the factory. That said the tour was excellent. Our tour guide Magda was amazing. Her knowledge was fantastic. She had so much information and was so eager to share it. Highly recommend it and great value for money.

Super leuke fietstour gehad! Mike, onze gids heeft ons naar plekken gebracht waar je anders niet komt. Heerlijke lunch gehad in een lokaal restaurant. Een aanrader!

Brilliant way to see the city. Great knowledgeable guide who made the trip.
