Great tour of the Krakow Old Yown and Wavel Castle - The walking tour around Krakow old town and Wavel Castle was very enjoyable and informative, Tomasz covered quite a lot in the space of 2.5hours. Tomasz is a historian, and shared a lot of facts, which I found fascinating. We will be back again for the tour on the Jewish part of town.

Krakow Old Town - A brilliant tour by Maciek. He brought history to life with his knowledge and quirky anecdotes. Maciek is so knowledgeable he could answer any questions with ease. We are doing the Jewish Quarter zlwalking tour tomorrow before our flight home to the UK and fingers crossed we get Maciek again. Only 1 problem with this review, there are only 5 stars to pick and Maciek deserves 10 stars.

Fantastic informative tour - Fantastic tour with lots of information from start to finish. Max kept the group engaged with all his facts about Krakow, Poland and the history of this beautiful country. Walking to areas you wouldn't necessarily venture yourself and learning the facts behind the history. We only wish we had signed up to do some of the other tours. Obviously pay what you think it's worth great concept. Compared to other tours I have booked through trip advisor it far exceeded. Worth every penny we paid.
