Great tour of the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter - After several times visiting Krakow, we finally decided to do a guided tour of the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter. So glad we booked with Christopher. He's a very polite and knowledgeable guide, answering the large variety of questions we had. He tailored the tour as we were walking to ensure we were seeing sites and areas that we weren't so familiar with based on our previous time in Krakow. He was also very accommodating when we needed to take a coffee and lunch break. We plan to book future tours with Christopher when we visit again. Highly recommended.

Truly eye-opening. - Christopher, our guide, was the best part of the tour. His knowledge was complete and he cared deeply about the history of his city. We experienced the events through his and his family's experiences and it was truly eye-opening.
He also treated us like we were friends, not customers.

Great Tour, glad we went private. - My family and I went on a 5 hour tour with Christopher on a very snowy Saturday in December.
It was a wonderful tour, walking the Old town, St Mary’s, Wavel Hill and Jewish Quarter on a snowy afternoon is just the way I wanted to see and hear about Krakow.
Christopher is extremely knowledgable and could answer any questions . I especially enjoyed the history of the Jewish quarter, and St Mary’s church.
With so much history in Poland it can be difficult keeping who’s who straight.
Christopher explained well.
We are glad we opted for the private tour, I recommend it.

Very informative - Very informative tour with lots of history. The Jewish district is mostly run down due to what happened during WW2 but it's still interesting to see. The old town is beautiful and lots of great places to take pictures. Krystof will customize to what your want to see 😊

Zapiekanka and More - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our first full day in Krakow with Chris as our guide in the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter. He was kind and a wealth of information. It was our good fortune to spend our second day with him on the Wooden Churches tour. We highly recommend these tours! Chris is a pleasure to be with and aware of his clients' expectations and does his utmost to fulfill them. He has a can-do attitude and is flexible with the scope of the tour.

A truly AMAZING experience! - I'm rating Christopher 5 stars, because the system doesn't allow 6 stars!
I had the most amazing experience touring Krakow with Christopher. I was mesmerized by his vast knowledge and phenomenal personality. His grasp of every detail in general and Jewish history is breathtaking.
Our tour was also very well planned out. Christopher understood what is important and interesting to me, and spent the perfect amount of time at each site to enable us to cover a lot.
I highly recommend hiring Christopher for anyone interested in the general history of Krakow, and for anyone interested in the Jewish history of the city. You will have an amazing and memorable time – just like I did!

This was our first time in Krakow and it was a brilliant thing to start the trip with, so we could learn about the city and get our bearings. The tour was amazing and we learnt so much about the city and it's history. Would definitely recommend, it's a must!
