Perfectly planned weekend - We had such a great time with Christopher - we were astounded by his knowledge and enthusiasm. We only had two nights in Krakow and he tailored our time there brilliantly. We got a really good feel for the city and he was so helpful. I would highly recommend Christopher to look after you should you wish a guide/advisor whilst in the city.

Great trip to Krakow - We had an absolutely great tour with Chris in Krakow. We had already been in the city for a few days but he showed us places we probably would not have found on our own. He shared all kinds of interesting information about the history of the city and modern-day Krakow. It was a pleasure spending time with someone who so clearly loves his work and getting to meet new people.
From our very first email contact, Chris was incredibly responsive and helpful in setting up excursions in and around Krakow. He's a wonderful resource and will help you to plan a very special trip. We highly recommend working with Chris. Thanks for all your efforts and kindness - we loved our time in Krakow!

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.
