You need to do this. - Went on the tour with my wife. Our guide was Dale. Long walks but so informative and interesting. Dale was a walking encyclopaedia. He gave detailed accounts of buildings we visited, places and the history associated. Certainly not boring. He went out of his way to ensure we had an amazing experience. Would certainly recommend this tour if visiting Krakow.

Excellent tour - Really enjoyed this tour. Rudolph was so knowledgeable and presented the tour in a very interesting way. We learnt so much of the history of the Jewish Quarter and Ghetto area. It was quite a lot of walking in the 2.5 hours so not suitable for those with mobility problems. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Anya - She gave lots of good information including movies to watch for a better understanding of the culture during the times. She had an upbeat attitude. She also engaged in small talk which was refreshing given that not all tour guides are that personable. She said this is her last month doing these tours so I hope the rest of the month brings good tours!

Interesting and well presented tours. - We did both the Old Town and the Jewish Kazimierz free walks with Kamil. Each lasted 2.5 hours and we learnt so much of the local history and some of the fables too! We were taken to all the places of interest and some we would never have found. Kamil recommended two restaurants in the Old Town… just off the square… which were authentic and very reasonably priced. The tours were a great precursor to our Auschwitz and Birkenhau tours. Kamil was knowledgeable and entertaining… you just leave a tip at the end of each tour around 50 zlotys/10 euros…. more than worth it.
