You’ll be sampling two incredible & historic Polish clear vodkas while enjoying a blend of culture, history, folklore and funny stories. We’ll then take you on an adventure through the cobblestone streets of Kraków’s UNESCO World Heritage Old Town to explore the city’s hidden vodka bars and cafes. You’ll step back in time through the doors of a communist era shot bar, explore one of Europe’s only home-made flavoured vodka cafes and get cosy in a hole-in-the wall candlelit vodka bar boasting more than one-hundred varieties. The flavoured vodkas really are mind-blowingly good & there's more than 200 varieties stocked by the bars on the tour. At the end of the tour we'll be stopping off to check out the city’s best Pierogi, perfect to soak up all the vodka & make sure you're not too wobbly on your feet :) It's all set in a laid back, sociable, atmosphere & run by our amazing friendly local guides.

You cannot come to Poland and not try the vodka, but with so many different types you need this tour to show you what to try, how to survive the night (and prevent a hangover) and learn the history of vodka.
You start of with 2 neat vodkas and nibbles before moving on to 3 others bars for flavoured vodkas (2 of your choice in bars 2 and 3 - you can even try a 72% shot!! and the best lemon shot in the last bar) before soaking it all up with a round of dumplings! Caroline was a fantastic guide, she knew her stuff and made the tour fun. I can not recommend this enough. Well worth the money. We enjoyed it so much we went back to bar 3 the following two days for more shots (definitely try the eggnog!) a must do!!

We done this Vodka tour during our stay in Krakow. Aleksandra our tour guide was absolutely fantastic. She was full of knowledge and answered any questions we had about the local area. This tour wasn’t just to drink vodka, it taught you the history of vodka in Poland. We had tapas and pierogi during our tour which was so tasty! Highly recommend this tour to anyone taking a trip to Krakow who wants some fun and knowledge at the same time. Thank you Aleksandra🥰

I am writing this review slightly hungover, as the vodka tour was last night. That tells you all you need to know…
No, in all seriousness, we had a brilliant time on this tour. We heard about it during a walking tour of the old town in the morning and booked it on our last night, about 3 hours before attending. Thankfully, there were spaces left on the tour and we got on.
We had Kacper as our guide, who was brilliant, very informative indeed, and we enjoyed the tour greatly (not difficult really, given the content). My girlfriend had only just started drinking alcohol on this holiday, so it was a trial by fire, but the tour catered to her well, and I ended up finishing a fair few shots, hence the hangover now.
I honestly could not recommend this tour enough, a great night.

We had Emily as a tour guide who was friendly, informative but still loads of fun. She made the tour insightful and informative by including facts and stories. She also taught us the proper way to drink vodka, which was good since we were all a bit nervous at first. I loved how polish cuisine was also included too. This tour was such great value for money and I would recommend to anyone visiting Kraków!

What a tour!! There was a group of 5 of us which was great as we all got to taking and mingling very easily. Iza our vodka tour guide was INCREDIBLE. Who knew Vodka tasting could be so educational, like I really don't know how someone can know so much about Vodka. It's seriously impressive! She was great fun and proper awesome. I learnt so much with her and had so much fun while doing it.
The Polish tapas snacks at the beginning of the tour were great and definitely helped with the all the vodka we were about to drink. We went to a few different places (which I would never have found by myself) some lovely little hidden gems, and as I'd been in Poland a while I'd surely drank my fair share of Vodka, but not anything like the ones i tried on the tour. There's some weird and wonderful homemade ones out there for sure, but I was willing to try anything. To end the evening we went for 'Pierogi' and you'll know if you've visited Poland before - Pierogi are as traditional as it gets and was such a tasty treat.
I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone and anyone: whether you're a group of friends, couple, or on your own like I was. I was made to feel so welcome and involved from the minute I got to the meeting place which was the first bar where the tour started. A magical evening with quality company, brilliant Vodka (vodka is life) and a superb host. Thanks for a wicked evening guys!

I cannot believe what I have just experienced. 16 outrageous Englishmen and 1 Dutch catered with NO issues, great company from Magda and great vodka.
Would highly recommend to large groups/stags, you will be looked after and Magda may even give you hints for where to go next…
Look at the photo, you get your moneys worth!!!

Loved this short vodka and food tour around Krakow with Kasper. He was great at taking us through the history of vodka and some Krakovian myths and legends. Would recommend to others, and felt very welcome joining as a solo traveller

Online vodka tasting is a nice take on Polish traditions and spirits in a safe way. Covid has messed up a lot of things, but seeing other people, having fun with them and enjoying the same spirits gives hope for better days. I’m definitely joining a Vodka Tour as soon as it’s safe to travel!

This was our first Vodka tour, and we had such a great time. Ola was our guide, accompanied by Bartek, who was in training.
Ola had messaged me earlier in the day to make sure I was aware of the location, and to offer assistance , which was a lovely touch.
Everything about the experience was perfect from the introduction and origins of Vodka, the heart-warming stories and anecdotes, the right level of humour, to the tapas and Pierogi balancing out the Vodka tasting.
Even though the tour flew by, we never felt rushed, and we spent just the right amount of time at each location.
Both Ola and Bartek spoke excellent English, and were passionate about both their country's Vodka heritage, and providing us all with a memorable experience.
Everyone in our group had a great evening on the Krakow Vodka Tour. I thoroughly recommend!

If you're in Krakow and looking for an unforgettable experience, I highly recommend the vodka tasting hosted by Magdalena and Natalia! 🍸
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and a friendly atmosphere. The tasting itself was not only fun but also incredibly informative. We sampled a variety of delicious vodkas, each with its own unique flavor profile. The hosts did a fantastic job of explaining the origins and characteristics of each one, making the experience both educational and entertaining.
And let's not forget the food! The pierogi served alongside the vodka were absolutely mouthwatering, perfectly complementing the drinks and adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening.
Magdalena and Natalia were fantastic hosts, making sure everyone felt included and had a great time. Their passion for vodka and Polish cuisine was evident throughout the event, making it a truly memorable night. Don't miss out on this amazing experience if you're in Krakow!

Hi, is the vodka gluten free?
Written August 2, 2019
I'm not 100% sure, you start with 2 clear vodkas one made of potato and the other rye so maybe just avoid this one. The others you can select yourself from a range whilst on the tour so you should be fine. It's really interesting and the tour guides can point you in the right direction of those that don't contain gluten! I'm sure you'll be spoilt for choice! ☺️
