Tener a Luís como guía ha sido un privilegio, es un GRAN conocedor de la historia de la 2ª guerra mundial. En un pequeño paseo que podría parecer intrascendente nos ha dado unas cuantas lecciones de historia dejando al grupo encantado y a título personal diré que lamento no haber tenido a Luís en toda mi visita a Polonia, este lugar es un tesoro de la historia y con gente como él toman mucho mayor significado. Ojalá volvamos a tenerte en un tour. Muy recomendado!!! - Yuri Translate this opinion into English.

Having Luis as a guide has been a privilege, he is a GREAT connoisseur of the history of the Second World War. In a short walk that could seem inconsequential, he has given us a few history lessons, leaving the group enchanted. On a personal note, I will say that I regret not having Luis on my entire visit to Poland, this place is a treasure of history and with people like him it takes on much greater meaning. I hope we will have you on a tour again. Highly recommended!!! - Yuri Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestro guía, Luis, resultó ser un historiador e investigador apasionado con la II Guerra Mundial. No perdimos detalle, bien documentado, dialogante y muy agradable. Son conocimientos imprescindibles para no olvidar una parte de la historia y si te los cuentan de maravilla, mucho mejor. Muy recomendable. Gracias, Luis. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide, Luis, turned out to be a passionate historian and researcher of World War II. We didn't miss a single detail, well documented, conversational and very pleasant. It is essential knowledge to not forget a part of history and if they tell you it wonderfully, even better. Highly recommended. Thanks, Luis. Opinion translated. Show original.

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.

It is clear that our guide Luis is passionate about history and really likes what he does. We got the feeling that if he had his way and time, he would be able to tell us even the smallest details about World War II. At the end of the tour we stayed talking to him and he was happy to answer all our questions. A true professional, we recommend him without hesitation. Opinion translated. Show original.

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.

Hice el tour con Luis y realmente fue excelente. Demostró tener muchos conocimientos sobre la II Guerra Mundial y como afectó a Polonia (y particularmente a Cracovia). Luis hizo el tour muy ameno, con mucho respeto, preocupándose en todo momento de resolver dudas que iban surgiendo y preocupándose del grupo. Le doy un 10 a este pedazo de guía Translate this opinion into English.

I did the tour with Luis and it was really excellent. He showed a lot of knowledge about World War II and how it affected Poland (and particularly Krakow). Luis made the tour very enjoyable, with a lot of respect, always taking care to resolve any doubts that arose and caring about the group. I give this great guide a 10. Opinion translated.

Un tour que si te gusta el tema de la II Guerra Mundial es imprescindible. Nuestro guia nos aportó muchos conocimientos y datos que muchos desconocíamos, con gran precisión histórica.

Tour bastante trabajado por parte del guía. Translate this opinion into English.

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.

Pero el tour merece mucho la pena. Pd: mezclar vodka de cereza y jager está genial. Os quiero. Translate this opinion into English.

Luis the guide is a phenomenon. The amount of knowledge he has on the subject is impressive and it's a pleasure to listen to him. It's a shame to arrive drunk on the tour and not understand much.

Este tour nos sorprendió. Nos esperábamos un enfoque diferente, pero salimos muy contentos, superó las expectativas. Aprendimos mucho sobre el funcionamiento de la sociedad en Cracovia durante la II GM, no en concreto de los judíos, que también, si no del funcionamiento general de la sociedad y la cultura. Nuestro guía Luis sabía muchísimo y fue muy flexible en cuanto al contenido del tour en función de nuestras preguntas. Muy recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

This tour surprised us. We were expecting a different approach, but we were very pleased, it exceeded our expectations.

Fantástica! Luis es un guía fenomenal que tiene amplios conocimientos del tema y eso se nota!. Se hizo un tour muy ameno en el que aprendes muchas cosas sobre la historia de esta ciudad. Lo que menos me gustó fué la poca empatía de algunos miembros del grupo que no fueron para darle ni una mísera propina, hay que pensar que tanto Luis como la mayoría de guías no viven del aire, ahí lo dejo. Al finalizar el tour, mi hija se llevó un recuerdo de esta experiencia haciéndose un selfie con Luis. Translate this opinion into English.

Fantastic! Luis is a phenomenal guide who has extensive knowledge of the subject and it shows! The tour was very enjoyable and you learn a lot about the history of this city. What I liked least was the lack of empathy from some members of the group who didn't even tip him. You have to think that Luis, like most guides, don't live on air, so I'll leave it there. At the end of the tour, my daughter took a souvenir of this experience by taking a selfie with Luis. Opinion translated. Show original.
