24 July - French Day

July 24th, 2010 · Posted in Jewish Quarter Walk, Old Town Walk, Our Groups · 0 Comments

Today we organised two private walks of the Jewish Quarter and the Old Town for David: a teacher of music from Paris, who has come to Krakow to pass his Polish language exam. He doesn’t know the result yet, but taking into consideration that both tours were in Polish he definitely will get the best grades :)

22 July - Fire Brigade Fountains & Two Walks

July 22nd, 2010 · Posted in Jewish Quarter Walk, Old Town Walk, Our Groups, latest news from Krakow · 0 Comments

Todays is the hottest day this week so far. Krakowians and the city visitors look for shade patches, air-conditioned rooms and water. Thanks to Krakow fire brigades we had plenty of water today. They installed real fire hoses and sprinklers on the Main Market Square and other city spots watering passers by and providing kids with great fun :)

July 21st, 2010 · Posted in Jewish Quarter Walk, Old Town Walk, Our Groups · 0 Comments

It’s getting hotter and hotter in Krakow. Well, we have no choice but zigzag from a shade to a shade :)

During the morning tour of the Jewish Quarter we were glad to meet our friends. One of them was a gentleman from Manchester, England, who was already on one of our tours last summer. This time he brought to Krakow his daughter and a son. We also were glad to welcome back a New Zealander from yesterday’s afternoon tour, a traveller from Stuttgart, Germany, and a French guy from Toulouse.
