Philip was fantastic. So welcoming and informative. We took the full tour with the Jewish ghetto, Schindler’s factory and a little beyond to see the ghetto wall and the memorial. I can’t say enough great things about Philip and this tour. Philip also recommended an amazing Israeli place to eat and it was phenomenal.
