End to end, the tour was exceptional. Matthew our guide had a passion for the subject that made our experience all the more enjoyable. His depth of knowledge, coupled with his ability to answer any question we asked was amazing. The experience riding to the Polski Fiat was very evocative, reminding us of driving in the 70’s, with the sounds, smells and its very simplicity (it’s an age thing if you were there you’d understand!!!) We would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering it, you won’t be disappointed! Thanks Matthew a lasting memory of our trip to Krakow and Nowa Huta.
My wife and I loved this guided tour. Hearing about the history behind this part of Poland was extremely interesting, and our guide Mateusz was both knowledgable and very passionate about telling about Nowa Huta history. And since he grew up in this area he could tell about it in a way that brought us much closer to the place and the history compared to what we could have read in a history book. Visiting the restaurant in Nowa Huta, having lunch while hearing about its history was very nice and the lunch was very tasty. Seeing the old buildings in the steel foundry, both the different offices in the management building (including the directors office) but especially also the bunker in the basement was for me the highpoint of the tour for me. All in all it was a great tour that I can greatly recommend, and I many thanks to our guide Mateusz who was great showing my wife and I around, enthusiastically telling about Nowa Huta today and in the past, while answering our many questions.
