Krakow with Withlocals

"Bartek gave my 14 yo grandson and me a fantastic tour of Main Square, Wawel Castle, and the Jewish Quarter for most of the day. His knowledge and story-telling ability of the history of Krakow and especially what occurred during the period leading up to WWII was very broad and spending the day with Bartek was a pleasure. The pace was perfect, he chose a great restaurant for a quick bite, and we gained an excellent understanding of Krakow and the history of Poland. My grandson and I highly recommend Bartek if you are looking for a well-paced and informative day! "

"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. "

"We did multiple tours with Bartek : from the horrors of Auschwitz-Birkenau to discovering the delightful city that is Krakow and the Jewish quarter ; hearing about the history, the impact of the Nazi invasion and also the lovely folk tales /myths surrounding various churches and buildings. Bartek is a font of information and he delivers it in enough detail to keep one engaged. He is amazingly flexible and will do what it takes to make the tour worthwhile. We found it really easy to hang out with him and talk about lots of issues and life in Poland. He absolutely made our time in Krakow so much more interesting and fun and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending his services. Our time in Krakow would have been half as interesting if we had not had Bartek with us. Just do it!"

"We fully enjoyed the tour with Tomasz.. he is very knowledgeable about the history of Poland during WWII in general and Krakow in particular, so he could guide us through those years, emphasising the important events impacting Krakow in an ‘entertaining’ way, to make it accessible. Tomasz is an excellent communicator and storyteller, which really takes you back to this period. Btw, the museum is really worth a visit, it has been designed in a modern and immersive manner, but without a guide like Tomasz, you risk missing a lot of the ideas behind it."

"We had a very interesting tour with Bartek through the jewish quarter, the area of the jewish ghetto and the Schindler factory. He was very friendly, accommodating, and a wealth of knowledge. Going through the factory museum with Bartek made the experience much easier than reading all of the displays ourselves considering how many people were there. He stopped and explained the exhibits and answered questions as we went which was very helpful. "

"Bartek was both knowledgeable about history and friendly! We recommend booking him for all your tours in Krakow. "

"Bartek gave an excellent tour of the Krakow Ghetto and Schindler's factory. While it was a three hour tour, Bartek was able to cover an amazing amount of materials explaining the growth of the city, the commercial and social life as well as going into great deal about the fate of the Jews in the area before, during and after the war. Perhaps the most extraordinary piece was the visit to Schindler's factory. The factory has been converted into a museum and is chock full of memorabilia and artifacts starting in the early 30's and going all the way till the end of the way in the later 40's. Without Bartek's help, we definitely would have overlooked the most important pieces of the exhibit. He moved us a long at a solid pace, drawing our attention to the most salient displays. Without that guidance we would have never made it through in an hour and a half. Bartek is soft spoken and thoughtful. He's been conducting tours for several years and brings a weatlh of knowledge to his work. He's intent on answering personal questions and bringing this terribly period of time in Krakow history to life for his visitors. I highly recommend Bartek as a tour guide."

"Bartek is a genuinely lovely guy, very knowledgeable and wonderful company whilst learning about the beautiful city of Krakow. I would absolutely recommend him. "

"Balek was a great guide. We had only arrived that morning in Krakow and the tour was a great introduction, Schindler’s museum was well planned taking you through Kraków’s WWII history, we then visited the ghetto and Jewish Quarter. Balek had good knowledge and stories to share and also provided great bar & restaurant recommendations "

"Janina took me on a tour of all the best local spots to hang out and have a drink. It was a really fun night and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to see the local venues of Krakow."
