Overview of your Krakow tour

Join me for an amazing adventure exploring the charming streets of Krakow! I will give you a bit of history and culture, a bit of fun and jokes, a bit of Polish cuisine and an unlimited amount of my hospitality. We'll start at Stary Kleparz, the city's oldest market, sampling Polish specialities. Next, we'll wander through the Old Town, admiring stunning architecture and the vibrant Main Market Square, Royal Road and Univercity Corner. We'll then head to Wawel Castle for beautiful views and legendary stories. Afterward, we'll explore Kazimierz, the historic Jewish Quarter and local art spots that reflect its rich culture. Enjoy local treats like crispy obwarzanek (Krakow pretzel). During this tour, we do not enter any paid-entry facilities. However, this is available upon request for an additional fee.

Our recent several hour walking tour of Krakow's Old Town ("Krakow in a pill") was top shelf. Our guide, Alicja, was charming and entertaining . . . a pleasure to spend time with. She taught us loads about the local history and culture, with plenty of amusing stories and jokes thrown in along the way to keep things spicy. Perhaps our favorite part of the tour was meandering through the colorful old farmers' market (Stary Kleparz), with several tastings of local delicacies that we would never have discovered on our own. Thank you, Alicja, for helping to make our short visit to Krakow so delightful ! Sarka and Jody

If you want a tour of Krakow that takes you to a lot of places on foot and teaches you a ton of history then this is your tour. Alicja (our guide) was super knowledgeable in every regard and very pleasant to do the tour with. For us, the tour was perfect. Thank you Alicja.
