We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing the Oskar Schindler tour with Joanna. Joanna was amazing - friendly and knowledgable. She knew the answers to all my weirs questions. It's obviously a heavy topic, but she handled it respectfully and with grace. I wish all tourguides I meet from now on were like Joanna! 💛
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear you had such a meaningful experience on the Schindler tour with Joanna. It’s great to know her knowledge, friendliness, and respectful approach made such a strong impression, even on such a sensitive topic. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again! Best regards, Maciej
Great guide. She was very involving and detailed. She answered a lot of questions we asked her. The tour was pretty nice. Unfortunately no entries in synagogues: it would make the tour complete
Impressive and excellent guide who clearly has a good command of the English language. Ran a lot and that at 2 degrees above zero. Guide did not care about that and kept us interested
Our guide was knowledgeable, but spent most of the tour either talking about a couple synagogues or walking several blocks without saying anything. So we felt like there was some missed opportunities.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to point out that during the tour the guide provides comprehensive knowledge about the Jewish Quarter of Kazimierz. So sorry to hear that it didn't meet your expectations.
