The trip complemented our weekend stay in Krakow. For those who like history, it is a nice intellectual feast. For laymen, important information about the history of Krakow, Kazimierz and Podgórze. I would like to add that we found a nice, cultural guide, Mr. Piotr.

Excellent guide around the Jewish quarters, learning many many interesting facts. We then had an hour in the factory. I absolutely love riding in the tuk tuk. Such an excellent way to explore the city.

Amazing guide - Tomasz was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Really good variety of food and detailed history behind each dish. We overran by ages but Tomasz was cool about that.

Tomasz did an outstanding job of showing us local and classical food while educating us with the history of Krakow and Poland. This is a must tour while visiting krakow

This tour was really interesting, we were accompanied by the talented and very nice Paolina, whom we thank again, we highly recommend this tour, Erica and Luca
