Aleksandra provides engaging color and depth to the history, architecture and culture of Krakow and Poland. She is extremely knowledgeable including heraldry which further enhanced the tour since there is so much symbolism tying the past to present.

Really informative tour with Krzysztof
Decided to book the 3hr history tour with Krzysztof for our first morning in Krakow. A great start to our holiday, we learnt so much about the history and saw some great sights. I’d highly recommend this tour with Krzysztof he was friendly, punctual and really knowledgeable.

Krakow unmasked
We did multiple tours with Bartek : from the horrors of Auschwitz-Birkenau to discovering the delightful city that is Krakow and the Jewish quarter ; hearing about the history, the impact of the Nazi invasion and also the lovely folk tales /myths surrounding various churches and buildings. Bartek is a font of information and he delivers it in enough detail to keep one engaged. He is amazingly flexible and will do what it takes to make the tour worthwhile. We found it really easy to hang out with him and talk about lots of issues and life in Poland. He absolutely made our time in Krakow so much more interesting and fun and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending his services. Our time in Krakow would have been half as interesting if we had not had Bartek with us. Just do it!
