Jewish Krakow Tour by Walkative!
Walk in the tragic footsteps of the Jewish people who experienced incredible suffering and learn about their dramatic lives with a local knowledgeable guide.
Things to do Jewish Krakow Tour by Walkative!
Poland was once a home to one of the largest Jewish communities in the world, and a centre of this thriving civilization was Kraków.

Join our tour and get ready for a deeply moving and fascinating history!

“Jewish Krakow”
Although the type of tour required seriousness for the commemorative places and historical episodes told, it is not a tour focused on the deportation (even if obviously it must be talked about) but on the stories and traditions of the Jewish population in Krakow. this tour also had Ania as a guide, she really confirms herself to be the best! thank you very much for allowing me to know this side too. (I had already done the tour of the old town and the wawel castle).
highly recommended!

“great guide Jack explaining history of Krakow Jews”
Meeting in front of the old synagoge we took a 2:30 h tour through the historic jewish districts in Krakow. Despite our group being short on questions our guide Jack was very kind and explained all the historic aspects indepth.
A great tour to take if you can spare an afternoon. You will certainly want to dive deeper into the history of the city and its sights afterwards.

The Tour with Krzysztof was absolutely worth it. Not only did he guide us through the Jewish quarter, but also explained every station to us thoroughly. Especially when it came to the numerous synagogues, his explanations cleared up a lot of things. On top of that, his humour is outstanding and made us really enjoy this tour.

The tour was great, we got to know more about the life of Jews in Krakow ever since the beginning and not only during WWII.
We got to see the Jewish Quarter, a filming location from Schindler’s List and the place where the old jewish ghetto was. The tour was super informative and we stopped at so many important places, at the same time we were learning about Jewish we were also getting to know the city better!

“Very Good - ”
There was initially a little confusion; when we booked via the Walkative app we were shown as only 4 out of a possible 10 spaces so we naturally assumed we'd be in a small group. We saw a large group of about 15 at the meeting place and didn't realise we were part of that group too - I think tour guides may use a couple of different apps and join the groups. My heart sunk a little when we realised and had to joined this large group - I had visions of not be able to hear etc.
I couldn't have been more wrong - our guide (sorry I can't remember his name) was brilliant. He waited for all the group to get together, in quiet courtyards, side streets and squares. His English was amazing. We could hear and understand all information, descriptions, and accounts. Very informative and knowledgeable.
One of the best walking tours we've been on - thank you.
I think it is a must for any visitor to Krakow.

“Wonderful tour of the Jewish quarter ”
Our party of 4 learned so much from our tour of the Jewish Quarter and the Ghetto. The lady guide (I can’t remember her name unfortunately ????) was very informative and knowledgeable. The history is so sad and horrific especially about the children and babies. A necessary part of coming to Krakow to know what happened here!

“Essential learning about the Jewish Identity in Krakow!”
A thought provoking contextualisation of the Jewish community in Krakow, explained with great insight through immersion into the Jewish and non-Jewish historical landscape of the city. Whilst depicting the events of WW2, Victoria also provided a sensitive view of the struggles of the local Jewish identity from it’s multicultural heritage. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately the guide didn’t turn up for the English tour and we only got a message after the Spanish tour guide rang the office. She was very helpful but difficult to run a dual tour for 3 English speakers when there were 15 Spanish speakers to accommodate, so we left. Very disappointing.

2.5 hours seems like it will be a long tour but, Damian made it go by so quickly.
Damian took us on an excellently curated tour that was beyond our expectations. He imparted so much knowledge onto us and was highly informative.
We especially liked the stop in the Jewish book store that was a synagogue.
We were also touched by his sharing of his family connection to Krakow.
An excellent tour!
