Itinerary
Your tour starts not at a monument, but at one of the city's oldest open-air markets — the place locals come to buy vegetables, cheese, and obwarzanek (the iconic Krakow ring bread) every single morning. Your guide introduces you to this living slice of everyday Krakow before the tourist crowds arrive.
Guides explanation
Most tourists walk past without knowing it. Inside this museum hangs one of only a handful of Leonardo da Vinci paintings in the world — the Lady with an Ermine.
See Krakow’s postcard-famous church and hear the legendary trumpet melody that echoes across the Main Square every hour. This is one of the city’s most iconic photo spots and a must-see for every first-time visitor.
One of the largest medieval market squares in Europe — and yes, it's every bit as stunning as the photos suggest. But your guide takes you beyond the obvious: the legend of the trumpeter, the best café terrace in the square that locals actually use, and why the Cloth Hall is far more interesting than it looks from the outside. You'll also learn where not to eat (so you can save your money for somewhere worth it)
Walk through the heart of Krakow’s buzzing Main Square surrounded by cafés, street performers, and historic market stalls. Learn where to find the best viewpoints, local souvenirs, and hidden spots most tourists miss.
Guide's explanation
Copernicus studied here. So did countless others who changed history. The medieval courtyard of the Jagiellonian University is one of the most beautiful — and most overlooked — spots in Old Town. Your guide brings its 600-year story to life, and points out the hidden details in the courtyard that most visitors miss entirely.
Stroll down one of Krakow’s most beautiful streets, known for its magical atmosphere, historic townhouses, and hidden luxury hotels. This quiet street feels like stepping into a movie scene.
Guide's explanation
Enjoy stunning panoramic views over Krakow while discovering the city’s most legendary hill. Dragons, kings, castles, and local legends come together in one of Poland’s most unforgettable places.
Guide's explanation
Your tour ends at the most iconic site in Poland. The royal castle, the cathedral, the legendary dragon's cave — your guide wraps up with the big picture: why Krakow survived when Warsaw was destroyed, why this city feels so different from everywhere else in Poland, and what to do with the rest of your time here. You leave with a plan, not just memories.

This was such an enjoyable tour. Very fun and interesting. Marta was an amazing guide, extremely knowledgeable, and personable.
Natalia was really informative & I learned a lot
The tour was fantastic and well worth it. Marta is a great guide and made it very enjoyable. I also learned a lot about Krakow’s fascinating history. She also gave very good tips of places to eat which I happily returned to later in the day. After the tour ended she was also kind enough to let me ask about some gift shops to look at. I would definately recommend this tour.

Not your conventional tour, Marta besides main attractionsnshowed us around Krakow Old Town in places used mostly by locals. Great experience.
Our tour guide was Marta and she was absolutely awesome. She took us to markets and told us about free museum visits and gave us tips for restaurants and other quaint areas. What I loved about her, was her passion. Her love for Krakow came through with everything she said and it made the sites so much more special to see. If you get a chance to go with her, do it!
Marta was a fantastic guide and her tour of the city was informative and full of surprises. We would recommend a walking tour asap on your arrival. That way you can explore at ease as there is so much to see and do in this wonderful city.

It was a wonderful informative experience.
Natalia is very good guide. This tour is worth to take, especially if you are first time in Krakow.
A really great 2.5 hour walking tour of parts of the old town we’d’ve otherwise missed like the food market and spotting the trumpeter playing the hour from the clock tower in the square. Marta was a brilliant guide, really knowledgeable and entertaining delivery - she gives some great tips for places to go back to - the tour was about the same price as a decent cup of coffee and well worth it!
Our very well informed guide Marta shared amazing knowledge of Krakow. It was a great tour and she offered great hints and tips when visiting. We took one of her restaurant recommendations and went there for lunch after the tour. Perfect way to see the city.
Marta was an excellent guide; good way to start trip
Marta was very knowledgeable and engaging. Tour was well organized. Thoroughly recommend.
Our guide was Natalia. The day before the walking tour, we had another tour with NN’s colleague, Yusuf, who told us about this tour and shared all the details with us. The walking tour was free for us because we had booked their tour the previous day. Unfortunately, we arrived about 10 minutes late, and the group had already left the meeting point. When I contacted Yusuf, he promptly reached out to Natalia and asked her to share her live location so we could catch up with the group. Without his help, we might have missed the tour altogether! The tour was not rushed yet finished on time with proper break. Natalia was polite, knowledgeable and very approachable. Along with the famous sights, she shared useful local tips about food, drinks and souvenirs, which made the experience even more enjoyable. She even shared a lot of useful links on the Whatsapp group chat. I would genuinely recommend NN to anyone looking for a walking tour in Krakow. And a special mention to Yusuf for his prompt help and excellent support — it really made a difference to our experience!

It was a really enjoyable experience. Our guide Marta showed us around the sights, sharing interesting details about each place, all with a touch of humour and sympathy.

Marta was an amazing guide! She took us through the old town giving us a lot of curiosities along the way and answering questions from the whole group. The recommendations she gave were pretty cool! It's a great way to see the city and decide where to spend more time, where to go inside and where to just stop and take it all in.
