Sadly, we learned more about the guide's political opinions and world view than about Krakow. We were honestly shocked about many of the conspiratorial and antisemitic things that were said during the tour, i.e. literally portraying International jewish conspiracy and the stab-in-the-back-myth as historical facts and the reason why jews were so hated by Nazi Germany. As a history teacher, I was shocked. On every stop of the tour, hidden international agendas and conspiracy myths were used to explain historical processes, from powerful financial elites to freemasonry to jews and so on. Derogatory remarks about muslims, protestants and LGBT people seemed almost harmless in the greater picture of the tour. When challenged she was quite rude, talked over us and did not respond to the criticism at all. Disappointing, unprofessional and offensive (and we don't take offense easily)
