Maya met us at a central point and immediately made my husband and I feel welcome. She took us around the main areas giving an invaluable insight into the history of this beautiful city. She was extremely knowledgeable about the city that she loves, taking things at our pace and showing us aspects that we would never have known of. The traditional dumplings which we enjoyed in a local bar frequented by locals for many years were amazing. This is the best way to see Kraków. Maya is first class and I would highly recommend this tour. Excellent. Thank you Krakow through the eyes of a local

Excellent tour made by Tomasz. He took me all around Kraków old town in nearly 3 hours explaining to me in details all I needed to know about the places we were visiting, and exceeding my expectations. He went extra miles showing all his efforts to make my day tour something memorable. Very professional, efficient, excellent customer service, friendly and very talkative person. It was a pleasure for me to spend the hours with him and listen to everything he was telling me about the history of Kraków and the places we were visiting during our walking tour. Lovely polish restaurant where we had tasting of polish dumplings ( Pierogi ). Krakow day tour

Magda is a really lovely and funny person. In this few days i spend in krakow we went to see so many different things. From the most touristic must see attractions, the village sides and mountains, to walking thorough some of the cutest streets i have seen. It was raining for most of the time i was there, but that didn’t make my trip any less amusing and interesting. She really knows all the tips where to go considering your wishes and time you spend there. The greatest thing with her is that she can show you many hidden places which you normally don’t discover. I tried traditional food in places only local people know about and we spent one of the best nights just chilling in a bar with locals. I really got an inside feeling of how is it leaving in Krakow. I had the best time exploring the city with her, so I highly recommend to meet her or ask her for an advice while spending time there.Awesome day in Krakow with Magdalena

Tomasz was an excellent guide. We covered lots of ground and many years of history. We especially appreciated the visuals that he carried along to help us appreciate what he was telling us. He was able and willing to answer all of our questions. As we only had 2 nights in Krakow, it was a great way to gain an immediate appreciation for the city and to help us choose what to do with our remaining time there.An excellent start to a great visit

This was our first visit to Krakow and our private city walking tour with Tomasz was the perfect introduction to this beautiful city. Over the course of 2 1/2 hours we explored the Old Town and the university and felt like we left with a great appreciation for both Poland’s history and for modern day Krakow. Tomasz speaks perfect English and possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of Polish history. We highly recommend him as a guide. An afternoon in Krakow

Tomasz has such a great in depth knowledge not just of the City but his home country Poland !

He is a great ambassador for the City - Country and his profession - he looked after us right to the end - finding us the correct tram for our night activity! 👍👍👍A Real Gem - Tomasz will amaze you !

We fully enjoyed the tour with Tomasz.. he is very knowledgeable about the history of Poland during WWII in general and Krakow in particular, so he could guide us through those years, emphasising the important events impacting Krakow in an ‘entertaining’ way, to make it accessible. Tomasz is an excellent communicator and storyteller, which really takes you back to this period. Btw, the museum is really worth a visit, it has been designed in a modern and immersive manner, but without a guide like Tomasz, you risk missing a lot of the ideas behind it.Very interesting… and entertaining

My son and I spent 2 amazing days with our guide, Tomasz. On day 1, with him having made all the arrangements for exhibition/museum tickets for us ahead of time (and arranging the tour guides for the Auschwitz camps), he promptly picked us up from our hotel and drove us both to the Wieliczka salt mine as well as the Auschwitz I/II camps. Along the journey, he regaled us with various stories about the rich history of the Polish peoples and joined us (at our request) for a local Polish lunch. On day 2, Tomasz was both our driver and guide. He toured us through the Schindlers museum, and showed us the Jewish ghetto and Kasimierz districts, followed by a fascinating walking tour of Old Town as well as Nowa Huta. We had some authentic Polish food tastings during our journey, and got to experience tram transport to help feel like a local, if only temporarily. Again he told numerous stories about Polish history and culture, and was informative, entertaining and respectful of me and my son at all times. We felt like old friends at the end of day 2. Tomasz comes with the highest unreserved recommendations. A must have tour guide!!Great visit!

We had a great time on our tour with Tomasz in Krakow. We had asked Tomasz if we could combine food tasting with history on our walking tour of the Old Town area since we only had a couple of days in Krakow, and he did such a good job - it was perfect! He was super-knowledgeable about the history of the area, sharing lots of fun facts, stories, answering questions - he even has a laminated binder to help with the tour! And then he also had wonderful connections for food tastings and had organized everything ahead of time with the lunch restaurant so that we got to try many of the regions food highlights during our time with him from snacks to savories to desserts, including the history/significance for many of the foods! We would highly recommend working with Tomasz!Tomasz is a fabulous guide
