Meeting Zuzanna was a wonderful experience. I was going to Poland solo to go sight seeing, tours and to travel across Poland to meet my late husband’s family for the first time. I do not speak Polish so having an English speaking guide was perfect.
My daughter found an excellent review of Zuzana’s tours on a site in Australia and a phone number. I messaged the phone number and our conversation began.
I decided to do the Krakow in one day tour which began with Zuzanna picking me up from my hotel. Our tour commenced walking through Old Town to the Castle, learning much about the exterior of the Castle, followed by an in-depth review of the Crown Treasury which included Polish treasures lost and reclaimed from invaders of Poland and treasures donated back to Poland by the aristocracy. We then walked down to the Market Square where Zuzanna explained so much about the history and the architecture, we walked to the Basilica of St Mary’s Assumption in the Market Square, to be seated just in time for the opening of the doors to the High Altarpiece, a work by Veit Stoss from 1489. This is a must see, a hush fell over the church when the doors were opened by a nun. Next, we went back into the market square to hear the bugle call from St Mary’s tower, another wonderful experience.
We then headed to the Jewish Quarter, so much history and sadness but Zuzanna talks only about the very relevant and important pieces of history so not to overload your brain.
We then visited Schindler’s Factory and witnessed wartime Krakow. It is a place where you feel the bravery of the Polish People.
So much more I could tell you about this tour but space won’t permit. Doing a tour with Zuzanna is a must when in Krakow.
