Instead of wandering aimlessly, book this tour!! Informative walk through the city with excellent tour guide. - Thomasz our tour guide was absolutely fab. Friendly, funny and genuinely enthusiastic about the city. Small group. We kept moving as much as possible which was great, especially in the cold weather! Very informative and visited places we would never have gone into if we had just been wandering on our own. Definitely recommend if you are interested in the history of Krakow and a super way of booking tours and paying what you think they are worth. Will definitely recommend and use again.

Well organised walking tour - Damien was very good. We walked through the old town with him. He showed us lots of interesting sites and was very knowledgeable (he was a history student!). No rush, well organised with necessary breaks on the way

Great intro to Krakow - Ania was lovely. Great way to introduce us to Krakow. Learned a lot, hit the major points of interest. Tour included a 15 min break to pee/get coffee and warm up. She was kind enough to review the rest of our itinerary and offer input. Recommended a guide for a steel mill tour the next day.

Interestesting and informative - Really very good. The meeting place was easy to find and the tour guide spoke clearly. We visited all the main historical points with explanations but a short stop for a drink would have been good,because it was very warm. Its a good place to start if you haven't visited before.
