At the center of the plaza and surrounded by kamienice (row houses) and noble residences, stands the Renaissance cloth hall Sukiennice. Kazimierz is the district south of the Old Town and was the center of Jewish life in Kraków for over 500 years before being systematically destroyed during World War II.

The trip complemented our weekend stay in Krakow. For those who like history, it is a nice intellectual feast. For laymen, important information about the history of Krakow, Kazimierz and Podgórze. I would like to add that we found a nice, cultural guide, Mr. Piotr.

excellent tour leader guide in the selected language, only drawback not to be underestimated pick-up time not respected without bothering to warn. This inconvenience caused the day's program to be skipped

Excellent guide around the Jewish quarters, learning many many interesting facts. We then had an hour in the factory. I absolutely love riding in the tuk tuk. Such an excellent way to explore the city.

Amazing guide - Tomasz was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Really good variety of food and detailed history behind each dish. We overran by ages but Tomasz was cool about that.

Tomasz did an outstanding job of showing us local and classical food while educating us with the history of Krakow and Poland. This is a must tour while visiting krakow
