Introduction
We suggest you to start this tour at Kazimierz – the former Jewish district – to understand the Jews, their religion, customs and culture and their role in Europe. A visit to Kazimierz presents a unique opportunity to see how the Jewish community was organized and how it coexisted with Catholics for more than 600 years. Our guides will tell you not only about Jews who lived in Krakow, but also about their history in general, which will allow you to understand the tragedy of Holocaust. We will also show you the places that create the special atmosphere of Kazimierz now, and try to explain why Poland without the Jewish minority is a different country. Afterwards, you will visit Auschwitz-Birkenau - the former Nazi concentration camp.

If you are planning to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, the former Nazi concentration camp, we suggest you to start with Kazimierz – the former Jewish district – to understand the Jews, their religion, customs and culture and their role in Europe. Kazimierz district became world famous thanks to the movie Schindler's List made here by Steven Spielberg. Spielberg decided not to use any Hollywood decorations – in his film he presented the authentic settings in which the history was taking place, paying great attention to the historical facts and the details. We would like to tell you the story of the Jews of Krakow, the story of Oskar Schindler and the story of the film - all of them almost unbelievable, yet all of them true... During the tour we will follow the Schindler's Route retracing the history of Krakow's Jews and seeing the places where the film was made.

We would like to show you some places connected with Karol Wojtyla, before he became John Paul II; places that he loved so much, that he was revisiting them many times after he had been elected the head of the Catholic Church. As we were present at nearly all of Pope’s pilgrimages to Poland and Krakow, you can be sure that you will be told the most important and significant information. We would also like to tell you about the Pope Benedict XVI, who succeeded John Paul II on the Vatican throne; about his pilgrimage to Poland and its meaning.

This tour is ideal for all those tired of hot or cold weather or simply tired of traditional sightseeing.... The Royal Salt Mine in Wieliczka is a unique underground enormous complex of the tunnels, chambers and chapels, which dates back to the late 13th century.
