Excellent overview of Old Town Krakow - Great overview of Old Town Krakow presented by a knowledgeable and deeply knowledgeable and passionate guide. Our walk included a fair amount of history— Poland and Krakow, which Max brought to life as stories. The walk also included Wawel castle hill - meaning a quick look at the grounds and outside of the buildings. One should note that the cathedral and the grounds are packed with school tour groups as well as many older Polish adults.

Big Tom was a highlight of this tour - Our guide Tomasz (Big Tom), was fantastic, he was really engaging and very knowledgeable (it is very clear that he is a true historian). The pace was good and the group size worked really well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour and Tomasz in particular as a guide.
