Uncover the best of Wawel Castle the local Way

"Smart. Funny. Interesting. All words to describe Bartek. He provided us with a great tour and in a way that met our needs."

"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."

"Aleksandra was friendly, enthusiastic and extremely well educated and knowledgeable. She was able to provide not only historical context but modern interpretation and sentiment. Her style and personality are light-hearted and fun. It felt like a casual walk with a local friend, versus a historical dissertation. I will request her again when I return with my family. "

"Our time with Aleksandra touring both Krakow's Old Town and Wawel Castle and then over in the Kasimierz Jewish District felt like receiving lessons from a history professor. Aleksandra's knowledge and insight helped us come away with a much better appreciation for this historic city and its beautiful architecture. She kept the discussion flowing well and was helpful with both questions about what we were seeing but also in her sharing of her knowledge of great places to shop and eat. Krakow is a special place and you would be well-served to tour this city with Aleksandra!"

"We booked two tours with Bartek while in Krakow. He listened to our interests and tailored the tours to what we wanted to see in the city. The pace of the tour was perfect. He peppered in personal experiences that were hugely interesting and related to Krakow. He was transparent about how long we could stay in each place so that we had plenty of time to see everything we wanted to experience. He's hugely knowledgable and his enthusiasm is infectious about the history of Krakow and he's generous with his time. Highly recommend!! We enjoyed seeing Krakow with Bartek tremendously. "

"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! "
