5.00Went with Tomash aka Big Tom on Historic Old City tour. He was so good that I promptly canceled my upcoming tour of Jewish history and decided to do it with him. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, engaging and just simply great professional! Irina . USA

5.00Great way to start a short trip in Krakow. Big Tom who lead our walk was informative with his history knowledge, friendly and interested in people on the tour - and of course he’d visited our wee country Northern Ireland! Would definitely recommend!

5.00We booked this walking tour on day one of our visit to Krakow to help orient us to the city. Our tour guide Natalia was fantastic with amazing knowledge of the city and its history. The size of our tour group was large (20+ people) but Natalia managed to keep everyone moving while conveying information in a clear and entertaining way. This is a great introduction to the highlights and history of the city.

5.00The tour was very informative on Kraków’s history and helped us get a lay of the land. Our tour guide, Micheal, was friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend taking this tour early in your visit to find must see sights.
Great Tour of Krakow

5.00We've done a lot of tours in Europe and this was a great one. Big Tom was our tour guide and he was fabulous. The tour was really interesting and very informative. Tom speaks excellent English (complete with an English accent). He also speaks very loudly and projects his voice very well, so he is very easy to hear. He must be at least 6' 4" tall so finding him is really easy. Although the tour went for 2.5 hours, the time seemed to just fly by and there was never a dull moment. Highly recommend this tour.
