Wow....what a tour. First of all our Guide Joanne was brilliant, she pitched her tour at just the right level, she was so knowledgeable not just on WW2 and Krakow, but the history of this fabulous city and Poland. She explained to us each location , brought us of the beaten track, and answered all our questions, which we had many. The best six hours I have spend, and we'll worth it. Thank you Rafel for arranging it, and Paul our driver. But the star if this visit is Joanne. Thank you.

I can really recommend this tour, Joanna, our guide did a great job. Her knowledge about the history of Krakow seemed never ending and we got more than just an overview about the topic. Also want to mention our driver, who was so kind and gave us safe rides around the City.

Very informative trip, lots of history, the pace was good and the guide very good. The driver was also friendly. We missed a few things,but that was due to the day, and I knew when booking these would be close, plasow was closed for refurbishment, interesting history but a pity we couldn't get closer. Great contact from the tour operator. Best one of the trips so far

This was one of three tours we organised with Prime tours Krakow and we definitely recommend it. We had Zuzanna as our guide and a Tomas in a taxi as our driver. Both did an excellent job with a Tomas parking in difficult locations and Zuzanna so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The tour visited the sites listed but Zuzanna added to it with her information about how the war affected her family. The Schindlers Factory visit was particularly memorable, with timed entry so that it wasn’t too crowded to view everything.

Very informative! A good overview of WW II and both the Nazi & Soviet rules. Our Polish born tour guide Magda was very knowledgeable and had excellent English speaking skills! Our driver, Marcin, was very conscientious & courteous. He provided us with umbrellas, when sudden snow squalls developed.

I learned a lot about WWII in Krakow on this tour and found the locations we visited to be very interesting and helpful in understanding the events that took place in Krakow during the war. I'm very glad I did it!

We used Prime Tours for a transfer to Auschwitz and had a wonderful experience, our driver was very kind, he helped get us situated once at the Memorial site, and accommodated our hungry 11yo...very professional and highly recommended!!
The following day, we met with Joanna our guide for the WWII private tour...she was very accommodating to our need to be back for an evening activity, but did not rush us through any of the sites. We were given an abundance of information, and enjoyed learning about how the war impacted the people of Poland and Kraków. We saw so many things we wou.d have never been able to find or know about on our own...as a mom with a yo her child on the trip (11)...I appreciated Joanna’s mother instinct to take my youngest to see other things while myself, husband and older child (17) were viewing the heavier more brutal elements of the different museums we visited...she is truely 1st class.
This is a must...seeing the Schindler Factory was incredible and very well done museum...I recommend this tour and recommend you ask for Joanna.

Excellent guide very informative. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour had our own guide at Schindlers Museum too which was also very good. Felt we got to see parts of Krakow that weren't covered on some of the other tours. All in all an excellent tour.
