5.00I highly recommend Tomasz to anyone coming to Krakow. Our tour lasted 3 and 1/2 hours and yet it felt like it was only 20 minutes. He is extremely knowledgeable and can answer every question that you possibly can have. I truly cannot imagine any other tour guide being any better than Tomasz. I look forward to my next journey to Krakow to learn more about this wonderful City with Tomasz as my tour guide again. As the owner of a travel agency that specializes in Europe I will be recommending Tomasz to my clients as well.
Krakow and Auschwitz tour

5.00My son and I spent two memorable days with Tomasz in Poland. Day 1, Wieliczka salt mine and Auschwitz I/II. Day 2, Krakow City Tour. We spent approximately 20 hours with Tomasz, during which time we learned so much about Polish life, history, and culture. Tomasz had our trip planned out perfectly to the smallest detail. Upon our prompt pick up from the hotel in day 1, we were escorted to his waiting car, packed with water and snacks and brochures of our days' activities. All tickets and tours were purchased for us ahead of time, with guided tours waiting. In between tours, we learned a lot from Tomasz and were able to sample some local cuisine with him (at our request). On day 2, we had a tour of Schindlers museum, Jewish ghetto, old town, Castle of Wawel, and Nowa Huta (communist post war utopia city). We were able to sample more local dishes including Zapiekanka. Tomasz was our personal guide throughout every part of this second tour. I can't speak highly enough of Tomasz. He's friendly, punctual, affable, knowledgeable and willing to do whatever is needed to make his travelers enjoy the experience to the utmost. Highly recommend. We will definitely use him again when our travels bring us back to Poland.

5.00We went on a 3 hour tour with Marcin, first seeing old town and then the Jewish Quarter. He has incredible good historical knowledge and a very personal good way in our conversation. We had the perfect mixture of historical background, including many old Krakow tales, a good mix of palaces, residences and churches showing all centuries of architecture and development of the city. Furthermore Marcin is very likeable and interesting and kind person and it was great fun to spend time with him . Thank you Marcin! D.H.

5.00We did a private tour with Tomasz around the old town - great intro to Krakow, and Poland's history and culture. We visited places we would not have found on our own like the original University building. Tomasz was an interesting and engaging tour guide and would definitely recommend this company. We arranged after doing the food and drink tour which I also recommend!
Tomek, an ideal ambassador to show and explain you about Poland's most exciting city.
