I was with the bigger group of about 14 people visiting Schindler's Factory. The guide was very helpful, showed up at the hotel on time and advised the way of transportation to the museum. Very friendly and likeable. He knows the topic. I asked him to organize another tour to other place but what I liked a lot he did not want just to earn money but suggested cheaper tour, because our group would not make the one I wanted. Great guide and a person!

Met this fabulous young man through a friend. He’s a fountain of knowledge, and I learned a great deal more about Krakow and the way of life that the Jewish people had pre, during and post WWll.

His tour through the Jewish quarter was fascinating and we saw so many things that we would have missed ot otherwise we would have walked straight past.

I continued my tour with him into Schindler’s museum and once again was astonished at his knowledge.
I would highly recommend using his services for sure.

Seweryn was extremely knowledgeable about the area and gave us great insights into life in Krakow during WWII and in the following years. He brought the places to life. Answered all our questions and was very helpful to suggest adjustments based on our needs. Highly recommend.

I can’t begin to say how much my grandmother and I enjoyed this tour. Seweryn was a phenomenal guide. Given he is a historian, he is well versed and knowledgeable in the history of Krakow. The experience we got from the tour was so much better than an audio recorded guide.
My grandmother and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Krakow. It took about 2 hours and we walked the entire time so bring comfy shoes!

Seweryn made the trip Krokow unforgettable. He gave us a lot of useful information, took us to the old Jewish quarter and Schindler's factory. He also organized our trip to Auswitch. Great guide and a nice guy.

Seweryn was great in communication before the tour. When we met, we found a very friendly, helpful man who is so knowledgeable of the Jewish quarter and Ghetto. We all said we learnt so much from Seweryn on this tour. Well worth a visit

Thanks again Seweryn.

We had a last-minute-scheduled private tour with Sew (rhymes with Bev 🙂) because our schedule didn't allow for a group tour later. We emailed him with less than 24 hours notice, and he was able to fit us in. On the day of the tour, we were running late from an earlier tour, and so we emailed him about it just 15 mins. prior to the start of our tour. He waited for us and was gracious enough to not mind at all.

He met us at our hotel, and customized the tour on what we wanted to see. He's very easy-going, and mixes fun stories about his life during the tour. We had a great time. During the tour we mentioned that we would like to have dinner later, and so he showed us a few restaurants during the tour where we could eat (based on our food preferences). We even asked to make a pit stop during the tour for ice cream, and he obliged. If we came back to Krakow, we'd definitely go on another tour with him. Thanks for showing us around Sew! 🙂

Seweryn was such an awesome tour guide. I’m a solo traveler, and it just so happened that this tour was just he and I. However, he was so warm, welcoming and kind, it was as if I knew him for years. The tour itself was excellent as well ! Seweryn is very knowledgeable and passionate about Poland, the city of Kraków and its history. We stopped at the Cathedral, St. Florian’s Gate, Wawel Castle, St. Mary’s Basilica, the Barbican and other places as well. He expertly provided the history of each location, and with his great humor and exceptional skills at conversing made the time fly by in an instant !
Look no further book this tour, and ensure you have Seweryn as your guide !!

We have always been big followers of St John Paul and this was a wonderful pilgrimage for us. Sev, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the saint and his life. We were able to see where he studied at university and for the priesthood at the archbishops residence because of the occupation by th Germans. We went to the
Franciscan church and the pew where he prayed.
It.was one of the best tours we took on this trip.
Thank you Sev
