Great day with Bartek
"We did the Krakow walking tour with Bartek and it was great. He knows so much history and shares it so easily, including sharing all the local myths and fables. Fun day and great hanging out with him. We ended up booking a couple of extra tours with him. Bartek certainly made our stay in Krakow special. "

An afternoon in Krakow
"This was our first visit to Krakow and our private city walking tour with Tomasz was the perfect introduction to this beautiful city. Over the course of 2 1/2 hours we explored the Old Town and the university and felt like we left with a great appreciation for both Poland’s history and for modern day Krakow. Tomasz speaks perfect English and possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of Polish history. We highly recommend him as a guide. "

Auschwitz
"Aleksander provided and excellent introduction for my visit to Aushcwitz-Birkenauer. At the site I joined an official tour group in English (private guides are not permitted). Aleksander had obtained hard to get tickets the moment I made a reservation with him and from pick-up to delivery back to Krakow he provided exemplary service and background information. A private car nd driver is a great way to get to and from Auschwitz. An experienced guide Aleksander is highly recommended and I would use again without hesitation."
