  Our guide met us at our apartment, and gave an informative and friendly tour, at our own pace. The price is for a group, though we had our guide for just ourselves. It was great - our guide Joanna was great.

  3. Tracing Jewish Culture – Krakow, Poland

  Join an enlightening journey tracing Jewish culture, and history in Krakow; leading you through the historic district of Kazimierz, to the site of the former Nazi concentration camp of Płaszów.

  Overall experience was great. Jimmy was a fantastic guy who is very knowledgeable (he’s a Historian). Answered all my questions and provided a good tour experience. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is because the tour says the Rhemu Synagogue ticket is included but it was not—nor was anything mentioned about visiting there. So it felt misleading. Other that that, all good.
