Our tour with Aleksandra was the highlight of our trip to Krakow. The food and sights were great, getting to talk with our knowledgeable and affable guide was even better. We learned so much about Krakow, Poland and the Central European region, all while being treated to amazing local dishes. Outstanding in every way. Best Way to Tour Krakow

Great tour in the lovely Old Town of Krakow. Tomasz was flexible about time, has excellent English, and was very well informed about the food, culture and history. After our tour, he sent us a list of the places and foods we sampled, as well as the Polish words we learned. Greatly enjoyed!Krakow Food Tour with Tomasz

This is the first tour anyone visiting should do. Avoid airport food on the way. You will need the room to be able to enjoy all the generous portions provided. Aleksandra is amazing. She will let you know the cultural significance of each dish along with the history of the region. She will also provide recommendations for dining and other activities for the remainder of your visit. Outstanding

We only had a couple days in Krakow and love Polish food. Aleksandra brought us around the old town and fed us delicious food and gave us a lot of history. She was fun and open to conversation about everything! She answered all questions and was very personable, something you would never find on a large tour. If we had more time, we would have signed up for other tours she does! Thanks again Aleksandra! The Best Experience!

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

We had a very nice tour with Tomaz. We walked around in Old Town and got history on our way between the different places we tasted local food. Drinks only at one place included. Two shots of vodka. Would have hoped we would try more local wine and beer on the tour, included in the price. Thank yoy Tomasz.Nice tour of Old town Kracow

Don’t use this company!!! Seriously a waste of time. Bad value for the money (actually, I would not do this again, even if it was for free. We could do this far better ourselfs).
Our guide was uninspiring, seemed like a robot, definitely not possible to connect with. Little food, touristy, nothing new. Thomasz is far from a “foodie”. We made it clear that we were very interested in food and drinks.
We chose “with locals” to experience Polish food and drinks, away from touristy areas. Hoping to find hidden gems, and exciting food. We chose this private tour hoping it would be possible to come with wishes to the tour and being able to influence the tour. Tomasz had his whole tour around the main square! We visited places where there were mostly tourists. We made it clear from the beginning that we had already tried the food he introduced us to, and maybe make some changes. He stuck 100% to his “program”. There was little food. We shared everything.
For what he called lunch, he ordered us a soup and dumplings to share. We told him we had already tasted dumpling/pierogi with this filling, but still he insisted on ordering the same ones as we had had the day before. I asked which soup he had ordered, again I informed him that we had already tasted this soup. I really expected him to change the order, but he would not.
Also, there was nothing to drink! When I asked the waiter for water, he got stressed and told us this was not included in the price. So, what did we get to drink during this 3 hour tour? 1 small shot of vodka!! (which he told us was supposed to be served with herring, but we got cucumbers…). This is not tasting local DRINKS (plural). Also, he just sat there watching us eat…, felt very uncomfortable. I had to buy him a drink. Cheap food, expensive tour, touristy and a boring guide.
A total waste of time! Touristy!

Tomasz did a great job. He is very knowledgeable, patient and speaks English fluently. The foods we tasted were amazing (not giving any spoilers) but you definitely do not want to eat before going on the tour. We considered the tour a "walking dinner" and were very full at the end. We have local friends from Krakow who agreed with every food and drink choice Tomasz made.Awesome "10 Tastings of Krakow" tour with Tomasz!

Ewa took me on a wonderful food guide in Krakow. We made seven stops from street food sellers to milk bars to old fashioned bars, frequented by locals. The ice cream at the end of the tour was probably the best I have ever tasted. Ewa has an engaging personality and the three hour tour passed all too quickly. Since she has lived in the United States she was an incomparable guide to the similarities and differences between the two societies. I would certainly use Ewa again and recommend her highly.Bring an appetite!

Fabulous local haunts with food and drinks that we would never have tried on our own . We did go off plan (at our request !) but we made memories that will make us laugh when we get home. A very special and beautiful host , thank you so much ! XA Fabulous Night with Karolina

Really enjoyable tour with Tomasz who was a great host. We enjoyed a wide selection of polish food and ended with our favourite - pope John Paul II’s favourite cake...we even went back to the bakery two days later for another sample! Tomasz was great company and a very easy to get along with host and very responsive with communications before the tour/we met. He offered great insights into Krakow’s past so we had the perfect blend of history and food. Our 14 year old daughter really enjoyed the tour too. Recommended! Great!
