Amazing, cultural food tour

5.00This was a great tour. Mateusz was my guide. First, I appreciate that he was willing to do a 1:1 tour, because a lot of food tours will not do that. I didn't need 1:1, but no one else was booked (low season). He is clearly knowledgeable and passionate about history and guiding, and told several stories that really brought the city and the food to life.
Pierogies, Hospitality, and a True Taste of Krakow

5.00This food tour in Krakow was a highlight of our trip. Our guide, Paula, was wonderful—warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. We began at an open-air market where she taught us how to order ingredients in Polish, which made the experience feel authentic and immersive. Paula then invited us into her apartment, where she showed incredible hospitality and carefully walked us through the process of making traditional pierogies. She explained each step clearly and patiently, making it easy and fun to follow along. Along the way, we learned about her life in Krakow, and she took a sincere interest in learning about ours as well. The pierogies turned out delicious, and the entire experience felt personal rather than touristy. This tour offered not just great food, but a genuine cultural connection. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Krakow.

5.00My tour guide Alicja was awesome. I booked very late in the afternoon for a night tour, she accommodated me perfectly. As I booked late it was just me on the tour, she took me to 4 stops, first starting with Pierogis. They had meat, potatoes & white cheese, cabbage & mushrooms, sweet ones with cheese and raspberry. My favourite was the potato and white cheese. Next she took me to a great underground bar which I returned to the next night, where we had Hot apple cider. It was my first time trying it, I wanted to immerse myself in Polish culture and this helped. It was really good and did warm me up. The third place was the main meal, as a single person i ate as much as I could, the food was amazing and wonderful. I especially enjoyed thr Zurek and potato pancakes. For dessert we had a wonderful dessert, which was like an apple pie with sweet jam and cream. It was amazing! Although i was full from dinner i still ate it all. The last place we went to was a bar where we had a WIŚNIÓWKA (cherry shot for digestion) Overall rhe experience was amazing, food incredible and Alicja was awesome. She answered questions i had about the food and culture and we had a great time. If Alicja is your guide consider yourself lucky!
Yum!!

5.00Had a wonderful time making perogies and eating lunch. We particularly enjoyed going to the market to purchase the ingredients and other items for lunch. We were introduced to several vendors and got several tips on other products to try later like cheeses and smoked meat and sausage. We returned to the market on another day. I highly recommend doing this activity. We loved it!

5.00I would rate the food tour as excellent. Paula was an excellent guide. She took us to some of the most interesting places in Krakow and exposed us to a variety of different food and wine. She was interested in understanding our interests in food and spoke about her own food journey. She has been a particularly engaging host and was patient and didn't rush us at all, even though we took our time. Overall, it would be an excellent idea for you to book this tour and spend a whole evening with lots of excellent variety of food, authentic Polish cuisine, and, on top of that, an engaged and attentive food guide. This tour is thoroughly recommended.
Great food tour
