También con Luis, destacar que esas técnico en cuanto a las circunstancias de la Guerra, en todo lo que precedió a ese hecho y no centrarse en el holocausto. Al fin y al cabo, lo interesante también está en saber el porqué. Además es un guía abierto a preguntas y no le importa dedicarte más tiempo. Un placer, ojalá volvamos a coincidir. Translate this opinion into English.

Also with Luis, I'd like to highlight that he's technically focused on the circumstances of the war, on everything leading up to it, and doesn't focus on the Holocaust. Ultimately, the interesting thing is also knowing the why. He's also a guide who's open to questions and doesn't mind spending more time with you. A pleasure. I hope we meet again.

Luis es un extraordinario guía, un apasionado de este periodo de la historia. Al escuchar a Luis, uno se imagina que está viviendo en Cracovia entre 1939 y 1945.. Este es un excelente tour para conocer la manera en que la ciudad vivió durante el periodo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y poder entender mejor este momento. Un tour que vale mucho la pena hacer.

Alucinante! La verdad que Luís es un crack y un apasionado sobre la historia, nos ha pasado volando la ruta. Muy recomendable.

Fantástico tour para empezar a conocer la historia de Cracovia en la wwII, ya que para conocer bien lo que pasó se necesitaría muchísimo más tiempo. Luis, nuestro guía, fue fantástico en todo momento, dando unas explicaciones claras, objetivas y bastante detalladas de lo que se estaba explicando en casa lugar del tour. En cualquier punto del tour podías preguntarle y el te contestaba sin ningún problema, haciendo más interactiva la visita. Muy recomendable si te gusta el tema. Translate this opinion into English.

A fantastic tour to begin learning about the history of Krakow during WWII, since a full understanding of what happened would have taken much longer. Luis, our guide, was fantastic throughout, providing clear, objective, and quite detailed explanations of what was being explained at each point of the tour. At any point during the tour, you could ask him questions, and he answered them without any problem, making the visit more interactive. Highly recommended if you're interested in the subject.

Se nota que nuestro guía Luis es un apasionado de la historia y verdaderamente le gusta lo que hace. Nos dio la sensación de que si por él fuese, y tuviese tiempo para ello, sería capaz de contarnos hasta el más mínimo detalle de la II Guerra Mundial. Al acabar el tour nos quedamos hablando con él y encantado respondió a todas nuestras preguntas. Todo un profesional, lo recomendamos sin dudarlo. Translate this opinion into English.

Luis es sin duda el mejor guia e historiador con el que hemos tenido el placer de coincidir. Tanto es así, que nos hemos apuntado a otro de sus tours puesto que nos encanta el enfoque que le da a cada visita. No solo cuenta datos curiosos de la historia sino que nos invita a hacer preguntas y se nota que le encanta lo que hace y que disfruta con ellos por la pasión que le pone a cada narración. Nos mostró la historia de la segunda guerra mundial en Cracovia desde un punto de vista diferente. Translate this opinion into English.

Luis is without a doubt the best guide and historian we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. So much so that we have signed up for another of his tours as we love the approach he takes to each visit. Not only does he tell us interesting facts about history but he also invites us to ask questions and it is clear that he loves what he does and enjoys them because of the passion he puts into each story. He showed us the history of the Second World War in Krakow from a different point of view. Opinion translated. Show original.

Luis hizo el tour muy ameno, con mucho respeto, preocupándose en todo momento de resolver dudas que iban surgiendo y preocupándose del grupo.

El guía Luis es un guía excepcional. Es un guía como debe ser un guía. Que disfruta y se apasiona con lo que te explica y hace que aún te interese más lo que escuchas y quieras aún indagar más y ampliar conocimientos. Es básica la retroalimentación, es decir, hacerle preguntas y que él vea tu interés, más interesado estás tú más se estusiasma él por explicarte. Es un placer. Sin duda alguna si vuelvo a Cracovia buscaré que él me haga las visitas guiadas que me faltaron. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide Luis is an exceptional guide. He is a guide as a guide should be. He enjoys and is passionate about what he explains to you and makes you even more interested in what you hear and wants to investigate further and expand your knowledge. Feedback is essential, that is, asking him questions and letting him see your interest, the more interested you are, the more enthusiastic he is about explaining to you. It is a pleasure. Without a doubt, if I return to Krakow, I will look for him to give me the guided tours that I missed. Opinion translated. Show original.

No fue lo esperado. Está claro que el guía sabía muchísimo del tema, pero desde mi punto de vista no es un tour de la II guerra mundial en cracovia. Nos decía que queríamos que nos explicara... si cojo un tour es para que me cuenten lo que el guia que toque considere. Si alguien quiere una información en concreto, o debatir es su tour, pero si quieres que te explique como se desarrollo la guerra en cracovia no lo es.

It was not what I expected. It is clear that the guide knew a lot about the subject, but from my point of view it is not a tour of World War II in Krakow. He told us that we wanted him to explain it to us... if I take a tour it is so that they tell me what the guide in question thinks. If someone wants specific information, or to debate, it is their tour, but if you want him to explain how the war developed in Krakow, it is not.
