Getting a grip on Krakow and Polish History

5.00The tour that Jacob led on a cold and wet day was thoroughly engaging and informative. Jacob’s booming voice slowed all of the group to hear his commentary, which was rich in historical facts, context and humor. I have a far richer understanding of Polish history and the city of Krakow thanks to the tour.

5.00We had a great time with our parents. Isabella was very fun and knowledgeable, she gave us a great overview of the rich history of Poland and the role that Krakow had in it. The tour lasted around 2h30 and we had plenty of opportunities to sit if needed. It was easy to follow and hear. Great for a first day in Krakow, she even timed our tour to the trumpeter!
The complex history of Poland reflected in Wawel castle and Old Krakow

5.00Christopher was an excellent guide of both aspects of the walking tour. His deep knowledge brought the complex history of Poland alive, including that of the castle and the horror of the Nazi occupation. He was very honest if he could not answer a question, which wr appreciated very much The 3 hour tour flew by.
