We booked the trip a day before, out of interest in Jewish history during the Second World War. We started from the old town, walked through the Jewish quarters, crossed the bridge into the formal ghetto area.
Our group had 4 people, which is a very pleasant size. Our guide was knowledgeable, draw many reference to the movie Schindlers list. She focused not only on the movie itself, but also on history about the Jews. History definitely came alive during this tour, and we would highly recommend it.
The tour ended at Schindler's factory. We didn't have time for the museum, and we took tram nr 24 back to the jewish quarters to explor further after the tour.
