5.00Karolina gave us a fascinating 2 hour tour of the Jewish quarter. It was freezing cold being outside but it didn't stop me from staying until the tour's end since her tour was so interesting . Every question I asked was explained to my satisfaction in great detail. I would do this tour over again just so I could get more information from this incredible guide.
