Poland was once a home to one of the largest Jewish communities in the world and a center of this thriving civilization was Kraków. Its historical Jewish district is a jewel of Jewish art and architecture. A place where 7 ancient synagogues, that amazingly survived the destruction of World War II and the Holocaust, stand witness to the test of time.
During our tour we will discover the historical context of the local Jewish community, talk about the death and destruction of World War II but also witness the amazing Jewish culture’s revival in contemporary Kraków.

5.00Our guide Tomasz was fantastic. He was so well informed, well spoken, amusing, and engaging. He was able to lead the group as a collective while making each individual feel seen. We learned so much even in the short time that we had before needing to leave halfway through (we wanted to stay though)
Must-see tour if you go to Krakow

5.00I forget our guides name but he was excellent. His knowledge about Jewish and European history was amazing and obviously very relevant. We really liked how he did not focus on just the few years around WW2 but the hundreds of years leading up to it and the decades after. I'd highly recommend!
It’s a go with Nathalie
