About the operator
- JLJA201300Great job, Joanna!Joanna was our guide for this 3-hour walking tour and did an excellent job! She gave lots of history on the country and events during the war. I enjoyed this very much.
- SurfinUSM00Excellent 3 hour walking tour of the Jewish district and GhettoThis is an excellent 3 hour walking tour of the Jewish district and Ghetto. There is a lot to see in both areas so this is very much an introduction or highlights to both areas but provided sufficient information to come back and explore more later on.
- P5395RPcraigf00Great experience!!Joanne, our guide, was excellent and very informative! She willingly answered all of our questions, was very personable, and friendly.
- scott970500RecommendGreat, informative and knowledgeable guide. Well worth the money and everyone on our group enjoyed the tour. Thoroughly recommend
- routram4100A walk through Kraków’s historyThis was a fascinating and very well informed tour that shines a light on a very dark period of history - but also an entertaining look at a culture that I didn’t previously know much about. Highly recommended.
- 380maurak00A very good tour but breaks (coffee/lunch) required.This was a very good guided tour. Our tour guide reiterated the need for respect and cognisance of the fact that we were walking in a graveyard where the ashes of many thousands of other human beings were scattered and buried. The tour was quiet and respectful, as it ought to be. There was no hotel pick-up for a number of us who were picked up at a meeting place. There was no “lunch option” offered. There was no opportunity given for a coffee break or a lunch break on what was a long day tour (9.40am to 4.40pm). Understandably, there are no dining facilities at Auschwitz. We had a 15 minute toilet break prior to the commencement of the tour (enough time to purchase crisps from a vending machine). There is a café outside the Birkenau camp. After our camp tours were completed, we had a 15-minute break. I, like many others, had to choose between a toilet break (queue) or a takeaway coffee; the toilet break had to be prioritised. It was raining non-stop all day. A hot cup of coffee prior to our return journey would have been much appreciated. I would not recommend this tour to the elderly, those with mobility issues or those with issues regarding fasting (for example, diabetics). It involves most of the time spent walking outdoors, often on uneven surfaces. It is inappropriate to bring young children on this tour.
- tgates500Great Day UndergroundOur tour group numbered 16 and our guide was superb. These factors made for a most enjoyable visit. There is so much to see that a return visit is planned. One word might suffice to describe the awesome salt sculpture we viewed and that word is conviction.
- veronicag199000Nice tour, but a little fastNice and easy with hotel pick-up. Nice in Auswich with audio guide with good explanation and information. In Birkenau it was unfortunate that there was no audio guiding, because the guide walked fast and talked fast and we couldn’t keep up so we missed out on a lot of information. Would be better with some time to take pictures throughout the tour, and not 20 minutes at the end. Wished the whole tour lasted a bit longer.
- laurenrO9918HH00Great!Chris was fab. He gave us ownership of our day, allowed the trip to be flexible which is what we really wanted. He was kind, friendly and informative. He was a great driver and informed us of toilet stops as and when appropriate, he ensured that he continuously checked on us and that we were comfortable. The trip itself was lovely, long car journey though, about 2 hours 30 minutes there - but we knew that when booking.
- CraigMoss5500This offers an incredible experience and is great value!This walking tour is suitable for anyone first visiting Krakow or those looking to learn about the city’s long history covering the various kings and transition away from being the county’s capital city, review of synagogues and churches in the area, Jewish ghetto in 1940’s and Schindler who helped over 1200 Jews. It’s a comfortable 3 hour walk from the Old Town to the south side of the river in Podgorze finishing at Schindlers Factory. The whole experience is fascinating as saw remnants of Jewish life from the 1400’s to 1943 when the last of Jewish population was removed from the city. The guide allows questions on route and is extremely knowledgeable about Polish history and Krakow as a whole. It’s incredible value and a no brainer for those looking to gain huge insight into the city.
- Frank H00Very informativeVery informative tour, without a guide then it would not have been so, our guide was Joanna and she was very good and made the experience very enjoyable
- softpao00A culture-rich tourDespite seeing online that transportation to Zakopane from Krakow was possible via train or bus, we decided to go on this tour to save time and energy in planning this trip. The tour guide was excellent! He was friendly from the very moment we met him and talked about the history of Krakow and Zakopane along the way. It was a 2 hour journey, and we made our way to the traditional wooden house where we met a wood sculptor and saw the interior of this amazing structure. Then, we went to the Zakopane museum which went into depth into the architecture and stylistic motifs of its woodwork (which was a really cool experience btw. We were given audio headsets and the narrator would change its information based on the room you walked into. There was plenty of info to take in). Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side that day, cloudy which later turned into heavy rains and a thunderstorm once we went up to Gubalowka by the funicular! Had it been clear skies, the Zakopane museum had some amazing views already even though we hadn't climbed in altitude yet, when we looked outside the windows you could see the beautiful forest with little wooden houses scattered all over and (what I think was) a glimpse of the mountains' peak too. We also went for the traditional cheese tasting, with our tour guide paying for our cheese and giving what he recommended. Finally, we made it to the funicular, going up what was actually only a 5 minute ride! At the top was supposed to be the breathtaking view across the balcony, which we were unable to see because of the rain and thick clouds. We settled in a cafe instead and shortly went back down to look through the many market stalls offering traditional leather, cheese, jams, wooden sculptures and other souvenirs native not only just to Poland, but to the highland culture of Zakopane itself. It genuinely was such a shame that the weather wasn't on our side, but that was beyond our control so I can't reduce my stars on this review for something that was out of their hands. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the multitude of places and activities we went to that day. I'd definitely recommend keeping track of the weather before you plan a trip here, if possible. Although the skies did clear up once we made our way back... So we got to see the beauty of the mountains from the road at least. I plan to return to Zakopane one day to see that view hopefully!
- nixon9400Excellent informative tourBooked from a recommendation from the property rental manager . Very knowledgeable informative guide . Excellent pick up options Changed our time of the tour but received appropriate information 24 hours prior via email and telephone call . Would definitely use this company again recommend
- OleHugo00A historic city within a parkA great historic walk among beautiful buildings and scenic views. A recommended way to get to know the city, history and find places for further exploration.
- Daydream3427815530100Well worth a visitWent with my brother for his 30th birthday. It was my brother first visit and my second visit. I was still impressed second time around.

This was one of the best things we did in a short visit down to Krakow. A guide with an encyclopaedic understanding of the City’s history, took a small group on a cross Krakow walking tour that took in some off the beaten track sights. I cannot recommend this highly enough, though do remember an umbrella if the weather is inclement!

Our tour guide shared a lot of historic information with us and the most important sights in the old town were covered. For my taste we visited sightly too many churches (there are indeed a lot of very beautiful ones in cracow), while I missed the some insights on the life in cracow, local specialities and traditions. I would have loved to just take a break at one of the markets we passed by. Also the entire jewish quarter was left out.
Nevertheless, it was a good tour if you want to get an overview in a short period of time.

This was a wonderful tour! Anya Senaj was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Krakow, explaining local legends as well as military and royal history. Definitely worth booking if you’re at all interested in learning about Krakow and seeing important city sights.

Walking tour of the old town in krakow witty our guide Gregor was brilliant, he was so knowledgable and brought the history of this beautiful city to life. He was very entertaining and was a lovely sense of humour. We were 4 friends doing the tour but it would be perfect for any groups, couples or families.

Our first time in Krakow and we're so please we did this walking tour on our first day in the city. The tour started promptly and we were very happy to discover it was just us for this timing/date. Many of the most important or key sights are covered over the 2.5 +hour journey. Some places are easy to visit independently but without history or context you're getting only a nugget of the stories. Highly recommended.
We were very fortunate to be led by Michel (Mik-hal). He was a great guide, flexible and knowledgeable and handsome too! He's a true-blue Pol and his experience and style made for a very pleasant trip with a few surprises too.
This is a great tour experience. Simple in execution but memorable in many ways. The perfect afternoon weather helped immensely too. Say "cześć" to Michel from us.
Cheers!

Decided to have a walking tour to find out the history of Krakow. Be prepared for a lot of religious history and to go past loads of churches! Our guide was Andrzej, extremely knowledgable and clearly loved his job. His English was good and he knew loads of facts from the history of Krakow. We covered a lot of the old town and Jewish quarter on the trip which lasted the full 3 hours. A good way to start a Krakow trip to get your bearings and go to some places you would otherwise miss.

You don’t know Krakow until you have done a guided walking tour with Robert. He is an excellent guide who has a great knowledge of the history of Krakow. He can expand on any topic. His genuine love for his city is evident as he speaks from the heart. Robert is also a lovely man. I would highly recommend a guided walking tour of old Krakow with Robert.

The group we were in was only 3 people. There were other, larger groups, it all depends upon the demand at the time requested. Our tour started mid afternoon and so probably the larger groups would have been run earlier in the day. You will probably have to try your luck with the size of the group.

Hi, we are going to Kracow on Monday 9 September 2019. We did a tour of Praque a couple of years ago and missed half of it as the guide seemed to want to rush. She stopped to speak to her group but was off again before we reached her. How leisurely is this walk

The walk was lengthy, but well-paced. This was important, as we did the walk on a very hot day in June. It wasn't rushed, but this may have been due to the fact that we had a very knowledgeable and informative guide.
