On our Secret Food Tour: Krakow, you'll explore our rich history of royal feasts and simple fare, with family stories told around the table. Each of the traditional, delicious dishes are prepared with high-quality ingredients and served by welcoming, hospitable locals.
Enjoy traditional Polish dishes, starting from the Jewish quarter with its incredible squares, cafes and food. You won't miss the authentic Pierogi, local sausage and soup, smoked sheep cheese and a shot of a famous local flavoured vodka in a super cool bar; our secret dish will guarantee you will fall in love with the city of Krakow.
As a private tour, everything works around you! Our start times are much more easy going, dates can open up. It's a much more intimate and cozy experience. No need to shout over other tourists, you will have every question answered, and leave feeling like a native yourself!

Ilona was wonderful and just an absolute wealth of knowledge. My family had an amazing experience with her, 10/10 would recommend her to anyone visiting Krakow! Ilona is. agreat tour guide but also fits right into any social situation, keeps the conversation flowing, and took us to wonderful places we otherwise would not have experienced.

We had a brilliant time on the Krakow food tour. Ilona our guide was amazing, she was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was also delicious and it was brilliant to have someone show us where the best spots are and what to try.

We’ve done around 6-7 secret food tours around Europe now and have always had an excellent experience and this tour more than lived up to the very high standard set! Our tour guide Ilona was great - she picked some excellent places with many dishes we’d never had before, as well as providing really detailed knowledge of the local area and history, and teaching us a lot about Polish food and drink culture - I would highly recommend! My only point of constructive feedback would be that the drinks upgrade didn’t include as much as I’ve experienced on other tours, I would have expected maybe one or two more drinks.

Very relaxing start with "breakfast" tasting and some vodka ☺️ be sure not to eat anything if your tour starts at 10:00. Ilona was fluent in english and a very good comunicator about the City, food, drinks and recommendations to restaurants and experiences. Higly recomended tour and guide. 10/10.

We had a fantastic time exploring Krakow’s local food scene! Our guide, Ilona, took excellent care of us and introduced us to a variety of delicious traditional dishes, sharing the stories and traditions behind each one. It was a wonderful and authentic experience — highly recommended!

This was the best tour that I’ve had the pleasure of doing. Ilona is such a sweety and SO knowledgeable. This wasn’t booked as a private tour but actually as I was the only one it was!!! The food was so very authentic and tasty and I loved all the bars and restaurants - really quirky. The portions were just right too. Ilona was able to adapt the local information to my needs - less dates and historical facts, more culture and social history. Really enjoyed every minute. Ilona - thank you.

Probably the best guide I’ve ever had! We visited several hidden local spots that I never would have found on my own. I highly recommend adding the alcohol package—it’s worth it for the extra drinks and shots along the way. At first, it was just Ilona and me, and I was a little nervous, but after walking around and enjoying her company, it turned out to be one of the best tours I’ve ever experienced. The private, intimate feel made it even more special. Ilona is a true local—born in Poland, spent time in the U.S., and then returned—so her English is flawless, which is great for American travelers. She shared so many great recommendations and even stayed after the tour to give me extra tips on where to go next. This was my very first Secret Food Tour, and it exceeded every expectation. Highly, highly recommend booking with Ilona—you’ll have an unforgettable experience!

I loved this tour with Ilona! Ilona was super lovely and a great host with lots of interesting information about the food and the areas in Krakow. The food was delicious and a great way to sample local food as a solo traveler when it can be hard sometimes to have enough appetite to try a lot of food myself eating out! Highly recommend, and thank you Ilona for the wonderful experience :)

We had the most amazing experience with the wonderful Ilona. She took us to all of the best local spots around krakow and we wouldn’t have known about those places or tried the delicious food without going on this tour! She was knowledgable about the history around the city and provided us with information around all the sights we passed. We wouldn’t have known half as much as what we did without going on this tour! Let’s not forget the food… the food was amazing! We tried a different range from breakfasts, snacks, dinner and of course the booze! If you’re thinking of booking this up, don’t hesitate!
