Great times! - Magda was an amazing tour guide and exceeded my expectations. She was knowledgable about the vodkas as well as about Poland in general, so much so that I bought polish vodka as a souvenir and brought all the info back home to my family. Attending the tour solo was also a great way to meet people. 10/10!!

Great Tour, Great Guides, Great Vodka - This was an absolutely fantastic event. Maja and Zuzia were EXTREMELY knowledgeable, kind and a lot of fun. We immediately felt comfortable and relaxed in their presence - and that was before we started drinking. 😉 You try a number of different vodkas, learn a ton about the spirit and about the most famous Polish vodkas. You see a bunch of different bars and establishments on the tour and grab some pierogi at the cutest little restaurant. I would definitely do this tour again and I recommend it to any and everyone who likes vodka and a good time. My only regret is that I wished we had done it sooner in our visit so we could use our new knowledge about vodka to visit some bars and restaurants in town. The guides also made some recommendations and I wish we could have tried some of them as well. Fantastic in every way. Highly recommend.

Amazing tour! - We had a amazing time on the Wodka tour with Magdalena! She was really excited and told us a lot about all the different wodkas. It was a great experience and we even had more drinks after the tour with her and the group. 10/10 recommendation.

A great experience! - We had a great second night spent with Magda on a vodka tour. Magda was fun, energetic, engaging and knowledgeable and took us to lots of bars to try a variety of high quality vodka’s that left us with a buzz and no hangover! The places we went were great and probably places we would never have seen or found on our own walking around the city. Magda stayed in touch with us after our tour and went above and beyond on recommending places and helping us find great places for food on a couple of occasions.

What a great start to exploring Krakow! - Our Krakow Vodka Tour was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip! The two guides who led the tour were exceptional—both knowledgeable and incredibly fun. They provided a deep dive into the history of vodka, offering insights that were both informative and entertaining. Beyond the vodka, we were immersed in the rich history of Krakow’s Old Town. The guides’ enthusiasm made learning about the city’s past engaging and memorable. If you're a fan of vodka or just curious about Krakow’s history, this tour is a must-do. Highly recommend!

Vodka tasting and tour - Maja was amazing from the moment I reached out about 2 more spots last notice. She happily accommodated us and made sure we were all set up for our tour and tasting. We loved it! Learned lots of new things about the country and more importantly the amazing vodka! We enjoyed meeting new friends from around the world as well. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Krakow, in fact the spot we stopped for pierogis was so delicious we back back again the next night! Don’t hesitate, book the tour! 10/10

Must do your - I would highly recommend this tour. Maya and Angie were amazing guides and shared a lot of fun facts about Krakow and vodka during the tour. As a non-vodka drinker I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the tour. So much so that we bought two bottles to take with us on the rest of our trip.
