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

We highly recommend this food tour. We did the tour with Aleksandra and she was excellent. She really knew the history of the food and the area. She took us to multiple places with absolutely delicious food. And the stories that she told to go along with the food and the vodka tasting really brought everything to life. We were a group of 4 and everyone enjoyed equally! Excellent

Aleksandra is an incredibly knowledgeable guide who shared so much interesting information about Polish modern history, traditions and food culture. She took us to three different places - the first was for "starters" and vodka, the second was for the main meal (a very traditional one similar to what my Polish father would make) and we finished with a lovely cream cake at a small shop that brings the cake in daily from Pope John Paul II hometown nearby. Perfect amount of food, diverse settings and a delightful host. A Polish dinner in three restaurants

First at 10am was the Schindler Museum Tour and Jewish Quarter, Aleksandra was amazing and has so much knowledge and information, it was a fantastic tour and we learnt so much more thanks to Aleksandra. We started the Polish Food tour at 5pm, again we all really enjoyed our time with Aleksandra and we learnt so much about local Polish cuisine and enjoyed the various Vodka and all the food that we ate. We highly recommend Aleksandra who is super professional and friendly who clearly really loves her job Museum and Polish Food with Aleksandra

We had a tour of Krakow with Tomasz on Sunday 11 May 2025. We agreed that he was probably the best city guide we have ever had and we have traveled quite extensively over the years Tomasz was charming and friendly. His knowledge was excellent and his command of English extremely good so that when he related stories to us we really benefitted from them. The tour was meant to be 3 hours which incidentally literally few by, but Tomasz hadn’t finished all that he wanted to show us so happily spent another half an hour with us in order the finish the tour We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him! Thank you very much Tomasz! Tomasz in Krakow

Tomasz met me at my hotel & drove me to my family’s hometown. This was a full day tour. He showed me the highlights & had asked for addresses or particular things I was interested in doing so he could research these ahead of our meeting. He was totally prepared. He knew where to park & took me to the properties I wanted to see & we walked through and around the village square. A huge & delicious Polish meal was eaten by us for lunch & we even shared a slice of pistachio cheesecake. He even suggested a bakery for me to visit when I got back to Krakow, in my search for my grandma’s kind of Polish cheesecake, which I did on my last day in town, & it was the best cheesecake I had.I got some Polish language & pronunciation lessons too! All in all, a very informative & good day. Thank you Tomasz. Professional & Personalable

With Aleksandra as our guide, our family had a memorable tour of the Jewish neighborhood and Schindler’s Factory museum. Aleksandra handled all the entrance details so that we had no waiting or delays during the tour. More importantly, Aleksandra was a compelling narrator for the tour. She combined her expert historical knowledge with a tone of deep respect that made the tour educational and emotionally moving. Our 15-year-old grandson commented that Aleksandra made him feel connected to the history and the people. We all agreed. She personalized the tour. She was truly a guide to a history we should never forget. Highlight of our stay in Krakow

We had the food tour with Alessandra on our first full day in Krakow. She was full of key information of Polish cuisine and stories about the Polish culture, including how Poles hold their thumbs as an expression of hoping for good luck. And what good luck we had with Alexsandra as our guide! She was thoughtful to take into account a gluten intolerance of one of us, and she made each one of us feel specially included. We enjoyed the tour immensely. With her engaging personality and animated way of speaking, Alexsandra was the perfect guide to Polish food and way of life. How lucky we were to have found her on withlocals.com. Best guide to the Polish way of life
