Excellent Jewish Heritage Tour

5.00Renata is a wonderful and extremely knowledgeable guide. She took us to every Jewish site relating to World War II of significance and not only told their stories well, but answered every question we had. The tour lasted 5 hours and we saw many more sites than we expected. Highly recommended.
Jewish heritage 5 hour tour.

3.00The tour guide did know the topic and tried hard to deliver to us. No complaints. We paid $270. It was not a low amount for city tour. The car was as small as it could be. There was no space for the legs at all. At the end, I was in real pain. Still feel it now. The driver and a guide often talked in Polish during driving. We didn't understand at all. This time could be devoted to explanations of beautiful historic places.
Wonderful experience
