Brilliant Krakow tour,excellent tour guide - Incredible walking tour with Chris the tour guide,genuinely don't think there could be a better man for the job! Started at the barbican and proceeded through the historic streets of Krakow reaching Wawel Castle some 2x hours later, the depth of knowledge Chris has is amazing and he also has a great sense of humour! If you want to get into what Krakow is really about do this tour!

A Must on Day 1 - We started our walking tour in Old Town and completed our tour at the Wawel Castle. Our guide was very knowledgable and provided so many important facts that a self walking tour would not provide. I would definitely recommend this tour on the first day in Krakow.

History while you walk. - The tour was very informative, full of historical facts which led to a greater understanding of the history of Poland. The guide Lucy was from Krakow and her love for the city was evident.

Great tour and exceptional tour guide! - Maciek took us on a great tour! He was so knowledgeable and very entertaining. A great, enthusiastic storyteller who obviously loves his job as that enthusiasm never waned for the 2hr+ tour. Would highly recommend this and other tours they have to offer. Thank you!
