Tour description

A unique chance to discover both Krakow Old Town and the Jewish Quarter of Kazimierz during one comprehensive 3-hour tour!

You will see many splendid gothic churches such as St. Mary's or Corpus Christi as well as some charming synagogues of Kazimierz. We will learn the fascinating history of Old Town and understand the Jewish heritage of Kazimierz. There will be many highlights - Main Market Square, University District, Szeroka Street (the heart of Jewish Quarter) with Remuh and Old Synagogues as well as filming locations of "Schindler's List". But let me also surprise you with some hidden gems that only locals know :)

What my travellers enjoy most about this tour is the fact that it's a perfect introduction and comprehensive experience of Kraków! I recommend it not only to first-time visitors but also to Krakow lovers who visit our wonderful city for another time!

Please note, that free-of-charge booking on GuruWalk is mandatory for this tour.
