5.00An absolute blast! Step outside your usual comfort zone and learn about Krakow post WW2. It's about, how we act, react, move forward and try to understand 'what for' and 'why?' Thanks to Crazy Mike, who was the most welcoming, knowledgeable guide. Honestly, the Adam's apple isn't noticable and always remeber the pig who also came along for the adventure!
Brilliant your

Our 2nd trip to Nova Huta with crazy guides and both were brilliant but different. We would recommend going again even if you’ve been before. Best Krakow experience

5.00My friends and I all agreed this was the highlight of our long weekend in Krakow. Our guide Matt was fantastic. It was great exploring a part of the city we would never have otherwise visited and the green Soviet LADA added a whole extra dimension to the tour
Great tour, great guide.

5.00My 2 friends and I decided to do the 1.5 hour communism tour last minute whilst we were in Krakow recently as something alternative to do. We were picked up at accommodation exactly at the agreed time and what fun we had. Maciek was really informative and made the whole experience enjoyable. It was like going back in time, folding ourselves into the vintage Trabant for the journey. Completely different experience to being in down-town Krakow. Would highly recommend you give this alternative tour a go if you have time.
