Well worth it! - Patient knowledgeable guide who answered lots of questions. I think if I were to go again that I would ask for more time in the Jewish quarter and take my guide out yo lunch so we could try some Jewish cuisine!

Extensive city tour - We had a guided city tour for two with Christoph. He took a lot of time and we were able to learn many details, as well as a good overview of the beautiful city, the old part and the Jewish quarter. The four hours were not too long! We were there at the end of November, it was very cold but we took a little break to drink tea and warm up. Christoph is a very good leader with an enormous knowledge. We would recommend this to anyone who goes to Krakow.

Chris was the perfect... - Chris was the perfect guide to introduce us to Krakow. He kept an engaging conversation going the entirety of the 5 hour tour, and knew detailed backgrounds for every stop we made through the city. It was obvious Chris prides himself on knowing more than just the basic highlights you can get on any tour, and this pays off in a tour that provides more information than I could have possibly hoped for. We were on a weeklong tour of multiple cities in Europe, and this is the one tour we took which really stuck out as being of exceptional quality. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Krakow.

This Tour Is Better Than Most - My wife and I are big fans of walking tours so we have taken/done many. Mostly good, very rarely bad, rarely exceptional. Which leads me to our tour with Christopher. In a word, exceptional. Christoph is engaging, fun, and encyclopedic in his knowledge of Poland and Krakow. It’s the nuances and smaller details that so often enrich an experience, and that was true for us on our 5 hour tour with Christoph. More importantly, he is flexible. While he had not originally planned for us to visit a temple and cemetery in the Jewish area, we expressed interest in doing so. It was easily a 30 minute digression from what he had planned, but he was able to adjust. This turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the tour, and we were amazed at not only his knowledge of Jewish history but also his knowledge of this temple and cemetery. And for us who are not Jewish, we learned so much in so short a time. And that sums up the whole experience. We chose Christoph based on prior reviews we read. He was as great as advertised. And when we parted, we both felt we had made a new friend.

Krakow Walking Tour a Must - Our guide, Christopher, was outstanding. His English was very good and his walking pace was very easy to follow. His knowledge of the city and the history of the places we passed was amazing. The money for the 5 hour tour was well worth it. He picked us up promptly in front of our AIRBNB.

Excellent Private Tour - Christopher was an excellent guide! He took his time explaining the history and current events of Poland, while showing us all around the old city and Jewish quarter. The tour was 5 hours, plus a nice break at a lovely cafe/bookstore. Highly recommend this tour; we had a great time!

Cracking day in Cracow - Wonderful way to see the city and learn of its history. Our guide, Chris, was friendly and knowledgeable in equal measure. His passion for his city shone through, so much so that we’ve already decided we’ll be returning as there’s far too much to see and do in just 4 days. When we do return, we’ll be booking Chris again, for sure. Thanks, Chris, for sharing your city with us. Julie and Imogen 😊
