“Rudolf is perfect history teacher”
The tour with Rudolf was definitely one of the highlights in our 4 days stay in Krakow. My son said 'if my history teacher was like our guide Rudolf, I would love history or at least learn something'. I think it's the best compliment if the guide can hold attention of 2 teens for.more than 2 hours.

This was a very good tour led by Dale. Even though Dale had a large group with him, he was able to provide a lot of information on the tour and was very patient with the group keeping up with him.
There is no charge to this tour, but Dale did such a good job that was impossible not to tip him.

Dale was a brilliant guide, very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. He also gave suggestions and recommendations which was very helpful. We only planned to do the Old Town & Castle tour but ended up doing the Jewish Quarter tour in the afternoon again with Dale, which was very good.

“Excellent!”
We only had two days to get to know Krakow, so the most efficient way is a guided city tour.
Our tour guide, Karolina, told us about the history of the city, related legends and real stories with great enthusiasm and competence. We got a preview of the most interesting buildings in downtown Krakow, which we were then able to see independently and in detail from a different point of view, as if we had seen them without the tour.
Thanks for the great program!
