Experience the beauty of Warsaw in the festive holiday season on this 2-hour Christmas walking tour. Wander through the Royal Route and the Old Town with me and visit the Christmas market for tastings and buying gifts.
Discover the eclectic style and architecture of Warsaw on a private tour. Check out from the revitalized Powiśle Power Plant to the beautiful old Jewish quarter with a super modern touch, and the newest business district close to the city center.
We fully enjoyed the tour with Tomasz.. he is very knowledgeable about the history of Poland during WWII in general and Krakow in particular, so he could guide us through those years, emphasising the important events impacting Krakow in an ‘entertaining’ way, to make it accessible. Tomasz is an excellent communicator and storyteller, which really takes you back to this period. Btw, the museum is really worth a visit, it has been designed in a modern and immersive manner, but without a guide like Tomasz, you risk missing a lot of the ideas behind it.

Very interesting
We had a very interesting tour with Bartek through the jewish quarter, the area of the jewish ghetto and the Schindler factory. He was very friendly, accommodating, and a wealth of knowledge. Going through the factory museum with Bartek made the experience much easier than reading all of the displays ourselves considering how many people were there. He stopped and explained the exhibits and answered questions as we went which was very helpful.

Excellent Tour of Schindler's Factory
Bartek gave an excellent tour of the Krakow Ghetto and Schindler's factory. While it was a three hour tour, Bartek was able to cover an amazing amount of materials explaining the growth of the city, the commercial and social life as well as going into great deal about the fate of the Jews in the area before, during and after the war.
Perhaps the most extraordinary piece was the visit to Schindler's factory. The factory has been converted into a museum and is chock full of memorabilia and artifacts starting in the early 30's and going all the way till the end of the way in the later 40's.
Without Bartek's help, we definitely would have overlooked the most important pieces of the exhibit. He moved us a long at a solid pace, drawing our attention to the most salient displays. Without that guidance we would have never made it through in an hour and a half.
Bartek is soft spoken and thoughtful. He's been conducting tours for several years and brings a weatlh of knowledge to his work. He's intent on answering personal questions and bringing this terribly period of time in Krakow history to life for his visitors.
I highly recommend Bartek as a tour guide.

Friendly & informative
Balek was a great guide. We had only arrived that morning in Krakow and the tour was a great introduction, Schindler’s museum was well planned taking you through Kraków’s WWII history, we then visited the ghetto and Jewish Quarter. Balek had good knowledge and stories to share and also provided great bar & restaurant recommendations
