Fantastic!
Bartek gave my 14 yo grandson and me a fantastic tour of Main Square, Wawel Castle, and the Jewish Quarter for most of the day. His knowledge and story-telling ability of the history of Krakow and especially what occurred during the period leading up to WWII was very broad and spending the day with Bartek was a pleasure. The pace was perfect, he chose a great restaurant for a quick bite, and we gained an excellent understanding of Krakow and the history of Poland. My grandson and I highly recommend Bartek if you are looking for a well-paced and informative day!

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.

Good food and so much more
What a wonderful experience! Food was varied, exciting and delicious. We tasted things we had never tasted before. Aleksandra was exceptional in presenting all the foods we ate, but her love for her country and culture shined through making this an unforgettable experience for us.
