Krakow with Withlocals

"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!"

"Tomasz has such a great in depth knowledge not just of the City but his home country Poland ! He has compiled his own reference book with maps and statistics and it all comes together to give the customer an amazing experience . Whether you want to dip into the history or like us you ask so many questions - he answers you with great and genuine enthusiasm. He is a great ambassador for the City - Country and his profession - he looked after us right to the end - finding us the correct tram for our night activity! 👍👍👍"

"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 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."

"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 "

"We highly recommend this tour. Tomasz was great in outlining the history of Krakow and Poland, plus he intertwined other fun facts of the area. He even took us to a local market which was a great way to start the tour. Great value. "

"We had a superb afternoon with Our guide Tomasz. Tänk you 😀"

"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."

"Tomasz is a fantastic tour guide. He showed me the sights I was interested in seeing and shared some of the stories behind them. It was a tailored-made tour, and he proved to be incredibly knowledgeable and easy to chat with. I would definitely book another tour with him. And I’m looking forward to booking through “with Locals” now that I’ve discovered them :). THANK YOU, Tomasz!"
