He is very knowledgeable and a very good narrator/story teller. His description and details of Krakow around WWII will stay with me for a long time. Highly recommend this, look out for the blue umbrella with the Union Jack Flag.Written September 14, 2024

As a solo traveller this was a great way to meet other people and learn more about the culture of Krakow. Dale was an excellent host with a wealth of knowledge. He took us to some great restaurants that I would not have found on my own. The food and vodka chosen as part of this tour appealed to everyone. We all left with a greater understanding of not only what to order next time but why each dish is so much a part of the Polish lifestyle.

We did the Polish Food & Vodka tour and thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening, even having tried most of the food previously. Dale (our guide) was very informative throughout, providing the background of the dishes and the history of the food and vodka, which greatly enhanced the experience. Would strongly recommend to anyone interested in doing a food and vodka tour while visiting Krakow!

I joined his tour on my own, but felt really welcomed by the guide and the others in the group. I really recommend it, especially if you are only in Krakow for a couple of days and don't have time to try lots of restaurants. It was a great way to learn about Polish food and taste some amazing vodkas. The guide also recommended other bars and restaurants to try the next day.
It's also worth mentioning that the vegetarian options were really tasty, especially the soup. I felt like I got a good sample of traditional Polish food, even without the meat.

Absolutely brilliant tours of the Old Town, Jewish Quarter and Food Tour with Dale. Sometimes you think that the guides with the depth of history knowledge aren't always the most easy-going. However, he had plenty of Krakow and Polish history to tell whilst making the whole group feel at home. I think everyone was fully engaged in all 3 of his tours. Great detailed background for visits to Auschwitz and Schindler Factory, and for l general knowledge of Polish cuisine which many tourists will miss. His clarity and engagement as a tour guide is simply superb!!

The polish food & drink experience is thoughally recommended. Went to a couple of different resturants sampling varoious polish dishes and vodka shots. Our guide was Dale. We not only ate and drank but he gave us an insight on how these dishes came about and about polish food culture. The food was very good and we had a fabulous time. Well worth it.

It’s not just about the food and vodka, obviously that does help! but Dale our guide was great, told us facts and stories to go with every part of the evening, the history to go with food and drink just adds a real extra part to the night that you shouldn’t miss. Not to be missed.

We really enjoyed this tour. Dale was very knowledgeable about the food and drinks of Poland and very accommodating to our variety of interests and ages in our group. It was a nice way to try different traditional Polish foods. Dale was very good about engaging with everyone in the group. I would use City Walks Krakow Tours again.

My group of 7 had a brilliant time on the food tour. Dale is knowledgeable and passionate about his work. We ate a fine selection of different foods and vodkas and learnt the history of each dish. Would recommend this food tour, or any of Dales tours to anyone visiting Krakow.

Dale was a knowledgeable jolly guy! I took the Jewish Quarter tour with him and he provided the information in a fun and engaging way. Me and my feet didn’t realize that 2.5 hrs had gone by. Make sure you take this tour!
