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.

thank you Silvia!!- she filled all the historical parts of our 5 h tour with her heart and personal histories, showed our small group all the places, where horrible things with jewish kids, women and men took place but also with stories and facts of people, who helped them in the middle of this terrible time with jobs, medicine or to get out of the ghetto!- it was really outstanding and touching!!

A great tour. Alicj our guide was exceptional. So much knowledge in such a tiny lady and spoken with sincerity and passion. She had anecdotes of her own personal experiences and of her Polish families recollections too. We did the Jewish Quarter and Schindler museum tour which together lasted several hours. Lots of walking but highly recommended (especially if you get Alicj).

Great experience - we had a great guide, Dominika, who really explained everything to us in detail and also gave us lots of book tips on the subject and other tips for our stay in Kraków. On our own, we would never have known exactly where the ghetto was and what life was like there!
