"We had a walk of Kraków with Bartek, with focus on Kraków during ww2, and experiences of the Jewish people of Krakov. The walk began in what is called Kraków Schindler factory museum, which provides a detailed progressive view of what the life in krakow was prior to, during and after the occupation by German army. Bartek was great walking us through the exhibitions and pointing out interesting, unique a artifacts and moving through the story. While we are generally familiar with the history of occupation, we found out many new things from Bartek. After the museum we followed on with a wonderful walk of Jewish ghetto and old Jewish neighborhood of Kraków. Bartek ensured the walk was interesting and engaging. We had a small but mixed group, 3 generations of same family, and everyone was able to see and learn things of interest, bartek catered very well to all 3 generations. Thank you Bartek! "

"Bartek gave my 14 yo grandson and me a fantastic tour of Main Square, Wawel Castle, and the Jewish Quarter for most of the day. His knowledge and story-telling ability of the history of Krakow and especially what occurred during the period leading up to WWII was very broad and spending the day with Bartek was a pleasure. The pace was perfect, he chose a great restaurant for a quick bite, and we gained an excellent understanding of Krakow and the history of Poland. My grandson and I highly recommend Bartek if you are looking for a well-paced and informative day! "

"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."

"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. "

"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."

"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 "

"We spent a whole morning with Bartek, he is extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture and shared many details we had never heard before. He was engaging and answered the many questions we had and he even gave us some great advice and recommendations for the rest of our time in Krakow. Would highly recommend taking a tour with Bartek! "

"The Schindler’s Museum and city tour was outstanding. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate, bringing Kraków’s history and Schindler’s story to life. Highly recommended "
