Unmissable!! - Such a fascinating tour with a brilliant and knowledgeable guide - the highlight of our trip. You get a great insight into real life under the communist regime and the stop in a communist style restaurant was great fun. Thank you!

The Hammer and 'Cycle' tour - Recently my wife and I did the "Communism" tour to Nova Huta, a fascinating part of Krakow. Mike was our guide and the entire trip was simply perfect. Good bikes, excellent leadership and companionship from Chris, and a real deep dive into an often forgotten and overlooked part of the political and social history of this remarkable city. And the ride back to Old Town from Nova Huta was interesting in its own right, showcasing a different, more modern side of the city.

Going back in time to Communist Krakow with difference - This is simply an excellent tour to step back into time when the communist party build a start up neighbourhood (then a city not a district. you will admire the great landscaping and road structure that was put together albeit the housing was plain and the same. See some significant landmarks that was part of the creation of this district including the steelworks and top it off with a visit to a communist style café that is in its almost original condition. Your tour guide Mike is excellent. He has a personal experience to share given his parents lived during communism and escaped it whilst Mike was a child. Great tour and tour organisers
