This walking tour in Krakow lasts about two and a half hours and focuses on the city’s historic Jewish district. The guide leads the group through seven synagogues that survived World War II, explaining their architectural features and their significance to the Jewish community. The tour begins at the Old Synagogue, the oldest in Poland, where the guide introduces the history and meaning of the site. Next, the group walks along Szeroka Street, the main street of the Jewish Quarter, learning about notable individuals from the area. The tour continues to the Remuh Synagogue, a private prayer house built for Krakow’s most important rabbi. The guide then takes the group to the Market Square to discuss the revival of Jewish culture and the nightlife of the district. The visit includes the Mrs. Dresner courtyard and stairs, known from the film "Schindler’s List," where the guide shares the true story behind the movie. The group spends significant time at Plac Bohaterow Getta, the main square of the World War II ghetto and the area created by the Nazis. Finally, the tour ends outside the Eagle Pharmacy, now a museum, which was the home of the only non-Jewish ghetto resident who witnessed Nazi crimes. The tour is conducted on foot with a local expert guide who provides a detailed narrative throughout. Food, drinks, and hotel pickup or drop-off are not included. This tour operates as a pay-what-you-wish group tour; guests pay a reservation fee and the guide’s wage. Private smaller group tours can be arranged upon request.
