Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour.

5.00So fun! One of my favorite Polish memories was connecting with Paula Krauze to shop at the local market and make pierogies! She taught each member in our small group of 3 how to ask for certain items (cake, meat, cheese) and we then went to the local market and purchased. The sellers were patient and kind with our attempts at Polish -- with lots of laughs! We then tried our hands at making pierogies under Paula's direction. More laughs and a great time connecting in a friendly environment and learning about day-to-day things between everyday people from 2 different cultures.
Wonderful Krakow Food Tour with Paula

5.00Had a lovely food tour with three tourists and our guide Paula. We visited four Krakow restaurants spread over the Old Town and Kazimierz. I really enjoyed talking about the food specialties of Poland. Paula shared family food memories to help us understand the food we were eating. This was my third food tour in different cities and I have loved them all.
Paula was terrific!

5.00Paula was amazing. She was very flexible since my husband has limited mobility. We loved the places we visited and she did a great job of explaining the history behind each establishment. We highly recommend her as a guide.
Amazing Experience Cooking With Paula

5.00I had a fantastic time at Paula's pierogi-making class! What made the experience especially memorable was that we started by visiting a local Polish market to shop for the ingredients. Paula shared insights about traditional Polish foods and ingredients, which added a wonderful cultural element to the class and made the experience feel even more authentic. Back in the kitchen, Paula was warm, knowledgeable, and made the entire process both fun and informative. She broke down each step clearly, from preparing the dough to shaping and filling the pierogi, making it easy for me to follow along. The class was hands-on, engaging, and full of helpful tips that I can use at home. Best of all, the pierogi turned out delicious! We shared our delicious pierogi together along with some traditional Polish sides: pickles, kielbasa, cheese, sauerkraut, and Polish beer. I left with new cooking skills, a deeper appreciation for Polish cuisine, and the confidence to make pierogi on my own. I highly recommend Paula's class to anyone looking for a fun, interactive, and authentic culinary experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

5.00Paula was an absolute delight. We had a lovely afternoon with her shopping for ingredients at a local market of many different vendors, enjoying snacks at her apartment, and then preparing and eating our delicious pierogis. She even taught us a few words of Polish so we could order our ingredients in the market. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants "a taste of Poland!"
Excellent food and culture tour. Mateus was an excellent guide and I learned a lot about Krakow. I highly recommend it.

5.00The food tour was great. We went to 4 different locations. We tried many Polish specialties including progress (both savory and sweet), traditional round bagel with kielbasa/cheese and beer. We then had a full meal and finished with desert. I highly recommend this tour. Our guide Alicja was very personable and easy going.

5.00Absolutely one of the best things we did in Krakow! This was so much more than a tour, it felt like sharing a relaxed, lively dinner with a friend who happens to know everything about the city. Engaging, informative, and just genuinely fun from start to finish. The food was incredible, and there was way more of it than we could ever eat! Mateusz was a fantastic host; warm, funny, and full of great stories, which brought history to life. This was hands-down a highlight of our trip, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. If you’re visiting Krakow, do yourself a favour and book this. You won’t regret it!

5.00The great food was only surpassed by the excellent conversation. The personal choices picked out by Mateusz were perfect and now Poland and its food and history is a highlight of our trip. Such a great night out.
