Our guide, Anna, was absolutely fantastic!!! She was incredibly knowledgeable; she brought the museum’s exhibits to life and made us feel as though we were living alongside the people who lived in Krakow during the occupation. She was able to draw connections to other time periods, other countries, and historical events. She asked thought-provoking questions and offered various possible interpretations of why people acted the way they did. She was also great at taking care of the group, explaining the itinerary, and clearly outlining what would happen and how long each part would take. A truly unforgettable experience!

Magdalena (?) did a great job explaining what happened in Krakow during the war. It's a difficult topic that she related with knowledge, respect and empathy. She was very professional and attentive. I would definitely recommend her tour.

I enjoyed the entire tour, but especially appreciated hearing personal stories and learning more about Schindler and others who helped save Jews from the camps. My tour guide, Joanna, was fantastic. She was personable and made sure everyone in the group was included. She even told some stories about her grandparents during the war. Her walking tour of the Jewish ghetto was excellent. She went above and beyond!

I loved the tour! The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable while also showing deep respect for the history and those persecuted during that time! I always rate tour by how much I learned and I am almost certain that I learned a lot. 10/10.

Our guide, Joanna, explained everything clearly and enthusiastically. The tour—and the order of visiting the factory first and then the ghetto—was great. Joanna was also able to answer our questions and gave us some great tips for the rest of our visit to Krakow.
