A must do in Krakow. Patrick is an engaging and humorous storyteller who clearly loves his city. He brings energy, passion and lots of audience participation - this is not just someone pointing things out and reading from a script - it's like a night at the theatre, with Krakow as the stage. The stories about Krakow's myths and legends were fascinating and full of fun bits of history about the city and its people. I learned a lot which helped me to enjoy the rest of my time in Krakow.
