"I recently enjoyed a private guided tour of Krakow's Old Town with my 13-year-old son, and I cannot recommend Tomaz highly enough. From the very beginning, he demonstrated genuine care and professionalism by taking the time to understand my son's needs—particularly his autism and occasional difficulty maintaining focus—as well as his passionate interest in history.
What truly impressed me was how seamlessly Tomaz adapted his tour to keep my son engaged throughout. Rather than delivering a standard guidebook narrative, he wove compelling historical connections that aligned perfectly with my son's interests. Questions about flags, Mongol invasions, and other specific topics were met with detailed, thoughtful answers that sparked genuine curiosity and enthusiasm.
The tour itself was remarkably comprehensive and intellectually stimulating. Tomaz masterfully connected different historical threads—from medieval warfare and trade routes to University history and religious heritage—creating a rich tapestry of understanding. He even incorporated fascinating insights into Polish-Swedish history, adding a personal dimension to our experience.
What set Tomaz apart was his exceptional ability to balance academic depth with accessibility. He wasn't simply listing facts; he was telling stories that brought history to life. His genuine passion for the subject matter was evident, and it was contagious. My son remained engaged and excited throughout the entire tour, asking thoughtful questions and retaining information in a way that rarely happens in standard group settings.
Rating: 10/10 stars"
"We really enjoyed our Old Town& Kazimierez walk on Monday 27th with Bartek.
Very good prewalk communications, with route ideas from Bartek before we agreed final route.
Bartek was prompt in meeting us, he checked regularly throughout the walk about the pace and any questions we had.
He gave us just the right level of historical info as " non historians" but interested visitors alongside more fun " legends" & stories.
We definitely got our stepcount & abive input all inan enjoyable way with a drink/pastry/toilet stop factored in.
Bartek kindly showed us to Tram stop for our return to the Old Town & helped us with ticket machine.
Overall a great walk & we would thoroughly recvomend Bartek as a guide- his knowledge & passionflower his city shone through. Thanks Bartek."

Great tour and tour guide
"It was obvious that Aleksandra loves her country, her city and her culture. It was easy to feel connected through her.
She has studied well and is very good at presenting the history as well as the culture and the people in a way that is easy to follow. She was great when answering questions and giving further insights into the questions. She was very good presenting difficult political topics in a way that was fair and nonpartisan. I would highly recommend Aleksandra to everyone. Very fun and engaging."

Wonderful time with Tomasz!
"My husband and I booked a three hour tour with Tomasz and gave him some simple parameters - history, drinks and a snack - and he followed through beautifully. Tomasz definitely knows his history and can convey it concisely yet interestingly. We learned so much! Then he took us to THE coolest bar near the university where we had some vodka tastings, which let’s say were NOT small servings 😊. All in all, Tomasz is a charming young man, and you cannot go wrong making a booking! Thank you, Tomasz! "
"We spent the most wonderful informative 3 hours learning so much about Krakow. I would highly recommend. There is so much to learn about the city that you just couldn’t find out alone. The tour was tweaked to suit our specific needs. The guide had excellent, clear English, it was hard to believe they hadn’t ever lived there. Overall a superb tour."
