We had a very good guide who looked after our small group and took us around the synagogue's in the Jewish quarter and then on to Schindlers factory. Here things became a little crowded. The factory is actually not a factory as you expect but is a museum comprising of narrow corridors lined with photographs keading to small rooms where there are exhibits of German equipment and old artifacts. It's difficult to appreciate the museum properly because of the numbers of people around you shuffling for space. As with Auschwitz, its a macabre irony that the Hollocaust has left a legacy of highly successful tourist attractions. The whole experience is one of bewilderment that man could perpertrate such horror to his fellow man, but yet things never seem to change.

We took part in the guided tour and were thrilled. Our guide Annetta conveyed the history with a lot of knowledge and heart. On a normal tour, you wouldn't learn much of this moving background - thanks to her explanations, the places and houses were filled with life and history. It was a very impressive and informative tour that we can recommend without reservation!

    Wow! We met at the meeting point at the old synagogue and met our group. There was 8 of us so a lovely intimate group. Our guide was Helenja and she was truly amazing. Her knowledge and passion, and the fact that her family history is all part of what happened made the tour the most amazing day of our break in Krakow.

    Our guide Annette was great. 5 1/2 hours of Kazimierz, Oskar Schindler's factory and the Krakow ghetto were entertaining, informative, exciting, interesting - and in addition to knowledge and history, she contributed a lot of stimulating information and was interested in the exchange. A great day in Krakow, which we ended with some interesting tips.
