    Enlightening Journey Through Cracow's Jewish History

    Our knowledgeable guide led us through the picturesque streets of Kazimierz, the historic Jewish Quarter. We marveled at the stunning synagogues and appreciated the bohemian atmosphere. The tour provided a thorough understanding of kosher food and its preparation, and visiting the "Schindler's List" film location was a poignant experience. Ending the tour at the newest synagogue in the Tempel area was a fitting conclusion. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Jewish history and culture!
