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.

Awesome - Chris was a friendly and informative tour guide. We contacted him a few days before we arrived in Krakow and everything was confirmed and done as planned.

An insider’s view of Kraków - Christopher possessed the right amount of knowledge, humor, attention to our needs and a clear love for his city. We are hoping to return and explore more of the city and when we do, it will be with Christopher’s guidance.

Wonderful Guide! - We arranged for Chris to take us on several private tours including Old Town Krakow and the Jewish Quarter including Schindler's factory. He also drove us to the Salt Mine and Auschwitz. He was a great communicator prior to the trip. He gave us restaurant recommendations for Krakow, recommendations for guides in other cities while in Poland, and arranged our tickets to various locations prior to our trip. Once meeting him in Krakow, he was so kind and so knowledgable. He brought the history of Krakow to life. We had initially arranged for him to take us to Zakopane on our last day. However he was unfortunately ill that day and could not take us, but he made sure that he arranged a very suitable substitute at the very last minute which we were very appreciative of. Overall he was a fabulous guide! I am hoping my parents will visit Poland soon and will be sure to have them contact him for their trip.
