Experience tomorrow the best of
Krakow with Withlocals

"Aleksandra was punctual and very organised. We loved listening to her own lived experiences of living and working in Krakow. We were enlightened by her enthusiasm. The food for us was very beautifully presented and the vodka shots at the end of the tour was very welcome! "

"I travel for the purpose of learning the worlds people, food, drink and history. Finding this tour with Aleksandra was my biggest fortune. Experiencing the food and drink and understanding the relevance gave the flavor and whole new level. Spending time listening to history was incredible and insightful. Melding in true life experiences and how they relate to history was the icing on the cake. Greatest tour I have been on to date. Na Sdrowei. Sto Lat "

"We had a walk of Kraków with Bartek, with focus on Kraków during ww2, and experiences of the Jewish people of Krakov. The walk began in what is called Kraków Schindler factory museum, which provides a detailed progressive view of what the life in krakow was prior to, during and after the occupation by German army. Bartek was great walking us through the exhibitions and pointing out interesting, unique a artifacts and moving through the story. While we are generally familiar with the history of occupation, we found out many new things from Bartek. After the museum we followed on with a wonderful walk of Jewish ghetto and old Jewish neighborhood of Kraków. Bartek ensured the walk was interesting and engaging. We had a small but mixed group, 3 generations of same family, and everyone was able to see and learn things of interest, bartek catered very well to all 3 generations. Thank you Bartek! "

"I booked a custom 3 hour tour with Aleksandra. It's obvious that she not only knows a lot but cares deeply about what she's telling you. Both for the sake of her country and city but also for your sake, to make sure that you get the very best understanding. Her stories are not only informative but also insightful. I feel I know Poland a hundred times better now. Her English is great and there wasn't a single question left unanswered. But be prepared; there's so much she wants to tell you it can be hard to find room for a question! :) I can highly recommend Aleksandra as your guide!"

"My husband and I recently visited Krakow for the first time. We chose a with locals tour of the city with Aleksandra. We appreciated Aleksandra being flexible with us since we got a bit lost on our way to the meeting spot. She was excellent! Very knowledgeable in all aspects of the city and provided a concise but informative overview of Polish history. She gave us incredible food recommendations. Three hours flew by. We hope to return soon to sign up for her food tour."

"We had a lovely evening. Aleksandra not only hosted an excellent food tour, explaining the history of the food & Polish cuisine; we also also spent the time chatting away about everything from history to current events. It was a thoroughly enjoyable few hours spent in Aleksandra's company, let alone the excellent food. Would highly recommend."

"We had the opportunity to do this foodtour with Aleksandra. She gave as a lot of nice side information about Krakow, the living and the history. All this was surrounded by nice and unexpected food. One thing you really must do if yoou are in Krakow!!!"

"Bartek was wonderful. His knowledge about the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter is very impressive. He was also very understanding about my Dad being hard of hearing and trying to make sure he could hear everything. We really enjoyed the experience and would recommended him to everyone! "

"We’ve done tasting tours before, but this was by far the best one. Tomasz created a vegetarian food tour just for us and enriched the experience by sharing Polish customs, phrases, and a bit of history. This was my first visit to Poland, and experiencing the culture in this way made it even more special. I definitely plan to hire Tomasz for another tour the next time we are in Krakow."

"Our small group found Bartek to be a very engaging, highly educated historian with a great sense of humor. He clearly has a passion for history, not just of Kraków or Poland, but of worldly events and how they affected Poland and he told many stories and myths that made the information easier to retain. He was also knowledgeable about architecture, culture, customs, food, and more. Bartek knows the city like the back of his hand. He recommended several restaurants, and all were excellent. Out of the dozen or so city tours we have done, Bartek was the best guide we've had. I would hire him in a heartbeat."
