We saw many things that we wouldn't have seen (or noticed) had we done it on our own. The legend of the 2 towers (and brothers) of St. Mary's and the knife is just one of many examples. We also learned the reason why the trumpeter abruptly stops playing his bugle call (Hejnał Mariacki) every hour. We met Victoria and the rest of the group (about 25 people) near the Barbican. Just look for the yellow umbrella with their logo. It initially rained in the beginning, but it cleared up as we were on our way through Old Town. There is so much history in Kraków. This tour gave us insight into the most important museums to visit as well as the architecture surrounding us. There was the Ironman competition obstacle that we had to overcome when approaching the castle. She quickly & professionally navigated our way through it without any interruption to the tour. It ended up being a sunny day once we reached the castle walls. The tour of the castle grounds was the highlight with its beautiful gardens. We will choose Walkative again in the future. They have walking tours in many European cities. I first learned about it through a Yelp friend's review of her Barcelona tour. Thanks Helene! Knowing what I know now, I wish we had booked one for Plaszow and the Jewish Quarter. They offer so many different tours. It's absolutely worth it! On that note, make sure you tip your guide well. They are the ones that make this experience so special. They are a wealth of knowledge. I very highly recommend these tours!

There were a few coaches of us but we were given headsets to wear to hear the tour guide and ask her questions. Throughout both camps we had the same guide which was really good and you stayed with the same people. The kind of things you are witness too when visiting the camps is truly astonishing and it's something that I'm glad we did whilst in Poland. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone and everyone visiting.

This trip exceeded all of my expectations exponentially from visiting the home town Dlugokaty, St. Leonardo's where my great grandfather was baptized, meeting 27 cousins and finding archival records I will be back to do more research and I wouldn't think about doing it without your company being with me.
