Tour description

Jews who in the Middle Ages were persecuted in Western Europe began to settle in Kazimierz, soon this city became a place of Jewish prosperity. It is here that synagogues can be found, picturesque streets in which the hustle and bustle of Jewish life prevailed before the holocaust of World War II.
See Poland's oldest synagogue, tour "Schindler's List" filming locations, learn who Ashkenazim and Sephardi are, meet some of the Polish Jews who went down in history.
This tour ends in the heart of the old Ghetto, in the Plaza de Los Heroes del ghetto a few meters from the Oscar Schindler Factory.
Join us for a 2:30 hour tour where we will discover the Jewish heritage in Krakow, learn about its traditions and iconic characters who created Jewish history in Poland.

Fernando no interactuó apenas con el grupo, ni pregunto ni de donde veniamos, ni si teniamos conocimientos sobre la ciudad, historia, y si teniamos algun tipo de duda durante todo el trayecto. Cumplio su discurso dentro de los horarios, de manera plana. En los desplazamientos habia momentos que los grupos se disgregaban y no se relacionaba con nadie. Al final del tour nos expresa una ideología política actual con el tema de Israel, que crea un momento tenso, cuando estos tours debieran ser obligatoriamente apoliticos fuera parte de los horrores que se estaban hablando en este tour. Finalizo diciendo que cada uno tenia que investigar, estudiar y crear sus propias ideas, pero veo innecesario exponer sus ideas politicas. Ha sido el free tour mas atipico que he hecho hasta el día de hoy. Por lo demas ha estado bien y hemos visitado muchos sitios
