Highly Recommended! - Chris is an excellent guide. He is very experienced and was knowledgable on everything about Krakow/Poland. He was very reliable and was very easy to communicate with through emails from the initial planning process. Our private tour of the Old Town went very well because of his ability to be flexible and customized it perfectly based on our requests. I highly recommend getting Chris as your guide if you will be visiting Krakow or doing day trips from Krakow.

Excellent - Our guide Andre was very informative and friendly! He answered our questions as well as told us much about the history of Krakow. The tour is a walking tour, and there were 2 slight hills coming in and out of Wawel Castle. Wear comfy shoes! You end your time in the middle of old town, so bring cash with you to get a treat afterwards. We will definitely be back and hope to see Andre again!

Chris is an exceptional tour guide who LOVES his city! - We had a fantastic tour with Chris in old town Krakow. He is very knowledgeable, easy going, and speaks very good English. As a native of Krakow he really knows and loves his city.
Krakow is very clean and has a fun safe vibe with friendly people. It’s a walkable city with loads of dining options, shops, and historic sites to investigate.
Book a tour with Chris to get the inside scoop of this amazing place!

Look no further - Learned so much and had an enjoyable morning with Chris! He is friendly and kind, very knowledgeable, and an experienced guide. His pre-tour communication is excellent. He is reliable and upbeat but not "too much." You can't go wrong by booking a private tour with him. For a full list of all the tours & daytrips he does, find his website by googling the two words: cracowguide and christopher

Best tour of Krakow super for families too. - We have never had such a knowledgeable guide ever. And so pleasant even though it was a raging snow storm! He knew everything about this city and the history of the areas we toured. The guide was more than happy to answer any questions we had. If you want a thorough, knowledgeable tour well worth the money, book this tour!

Great introduction to Kraków’s Old Town - We were met at our hotel on time by Krzysztof and because we were staying in the Jewish Quarter, he gave us some history and a short tour of the area which was very interesting. We then made our way to Wawel Hill and the castle. We opted not to go inside the cathedral but it was very beautiful from the outside. Next we visited the main square and Krzysztof gave us some great information, tips and suggestions of things to do there. The 3 hours passed very quickly and we found it to be a very enjoyable way to see the old town. We recommend this tour for first time visitors like we were.

Great informative Personalized tour - We had a personalized tour in English with 3 of us. It was about 2.5 hours as we decided not to go into wawel castle and spend time elsewhere. English was very good and tour guide (christoff) was very friendly and knowledgeable. His love for his hometown was evident. The order of things we saw was not in the same order as listed on the website but still touched all the sites. Only complaint is that the website states 2 admissions (st Mary’s basilica and wawel) are included but we did not go inside so seems like we paid for something we did not do
