Together with 4 other people and our guide I enjoyed the Vodka and Polish food tour a few days ago. In the first restaurant we enjoyed Polish soup and a dumplings course and 2 vodka. After this we visited a small shop without seating to enjoy a piece of grilled cheese. The 3rd stop was in the 2nd restaurant, and there we had 3 courses; a goulash, potato pancakes, and apple pie desert, and of course there were more vodka's to try. The guide explained both the history of the food, the vodka and various things about Krakow and all this combined led to a wonderful evening. Highly recommended for those visiting Poland / Krakow and like to enjoy the local flavours combined with a good story.

We did the 6 course dinner and vodka tasting with Dale on our first night in Krakow. What a perfect way to start our stay and become familiarized with the amazing food offered in this beautiful city. I highly recommend booking this tour for early in your stay so you don’t miss out on trying foods you may not otherwise try. Sour soup? Yes, please! Dale also gives a great deal of history and other information about food, customs and the city. Well worth the money!
Best food/drink tour yet. Local food and drink was excellent. And our guide Alex was most knowledgeable and informative If you ever need a tour for local Polish food and drink, this is the oneto take. THANK YOU so much Alex
Polish food and vodka tour with Alex. Great tour, food and drink. It was very interesting and delicious. Thank you very much.
A great little addition to your trip to Krakow. Well organised. Our group were really fun and we had a fantastic evening with interesting people.
Enjoyed a fabulous tour led by Dale, visiting some wonderful eateries and sampling delicious traditional food and of course, vodka!! Dale was an engaging, informative guide who had a wealth of knowledge regarding not only the food but the City in general. Would highly recommend.
The best tour I have taken in Krakow. Dale, our tour guide, was welcoming and full of great information about the Polish Cuisine and Vodka. All the food tasted amazing and I came away with so much history on Poland. Would 100% recommend to anyone traveling to Krakow for a visit.
Really fun evening. Loved the food, vodka and stories. Would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to do something different.
Fun tour of a few different venues including local dishes and vodka tasting. I didn't know that flavored vodka was the preferred style on Poland so that led to an interesting experience.
Lots of fun! We had a good group and ate several foods I would not have necessarily known to try otherwise. The restaurants were cozy and the service was prompt. Alex was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot in addition to eating delicious food.
Wonderful food and drink choices . Dale was great at giving us history lessons of both food and drinks not to mention some local hot spots that are overlooked. Nice evening.
Aleks was amazing. Not only was she knowledgeable about the food and vodka she shared lots of great Krakow History as well. Highly recommend!!!!
Great locations with great food/drinks. The tour guide Aleks was extremely fun and keep the mood light & interesting. Highly recommend
Excellent experience. Dale was spectacular. Great food great restaurants. Wouldn’t have found out anything if we didn’t come on the tours etc. excellent tour guide and very very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend doing all the tours they cover as you get to know so much of the history of krakow and Poland.
We did the Polish Food & Vodka tour and thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening, even having tried most of the food previously. Dale (our guide) was very informative throughout, providing the background of the dishes and the history of the food and vodka, which greatly enhanced the experience. Would strongly recommend to anyone interested in doing a food and vodka tour while visiting Krakow!
Excellent tour hosted by Dale, who is a mine of information! Food was fantastic and the four vodka shots delicious Definitely well worth the price we paid
Food was great! Very informative. Nice selection of street food, sit down restaurants and vodka. Dale was great! Very knowledgeable and friendly!
One of the best food tours I’ve done… Well worth the money Amazing food , great restaurants and our guide was amazing . Defo book this tour in krakow.
We had a great time with interesting people. The food was traditional Polish and Dale was a fount of interesting facts, very knowledgeable and also, importantly, great fun!
Excellent evening, food was good with a great bunch of people. It was great to sample the different vodkas. Good experience well worth doing. Thanks Dale.
Dale, our guide was excellent. His knowledge of the history of Krakow and Poland in general was impressive ! He has a great sense of humor that he blens into his narrative. I travel frequently and find that these “free tours have very knowledgeable guides. That fact that they work for tips only ensures that they are very capable.
So nice to have the guide choose your food & each course has a story behind it, the vodka was good all different flavours
Everyone visiting Krakow should go on this, you will get taken to places you won't find on your own and learn the history of the food as well. Had a brilliant time!
Absolutely brilliant tours of the Old Town, Jewish Quarter and Food Tour with Dale. Sometimes you think that the guides with the depth of history knowledge aren't always the most easy-going. However, he had plenty of Krakow and Polish history to tell whilst making the whole group feel at home. I think everyone was fully engaged in all 3 of his tours. Great detailed background for visits to Auschwitz and Schindler Factory, and for l general knowledge of Polish cuisine which many tourists will miss. His clarity and engagement as a tour guide is simply superb!!
This was an excellent, well organised and very enjoyable tour. Our host, Dale, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the choice of restaurants, street vendors, food and drink was fabulous. He went beyond by giving tips and advice, as we went along, as well as introducing us to a great bar after the tour had finished. Highly recommended.
Brilliant evening, would definitely recommend. Our host was Dale who was amazing and so knowledgeable.
This tour offers a nice, generous variety of local foods at restaurants off the beaten track. You will have plenty to eat. Loved the vodka offerings, too. Dale kept the tour moving and provided a nice history of food and drink with a perspective of their connection to the political climate at the time. Very informative. Great job, Dale!
We really enjoyed this as an introduction to Polish food and the vodka was good as well! Dale was very friendly, informative and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. He was very accomodating of me being vegetarian and the alternatives for me were really tasty.
It’s not just about the food and vodka, obviously that does help! but Dale our guide was great, told us facts and stories to go with every part of the evening, the history to go with food and drink just adds a real extra part to the night that you shouldn’t miss. Not to be missed.
History about Poland and how it influenced food and vodka. Great way to spend a few hours meeting others from around the world and learning about local cuisine!
Tasty food, tasty vodka and an even better experience! Super thought out, our guide Dale was so informing and could answer every question we had. Couldn’t be more happy. Definitely recommend!
Was a fantastic experience, experienced guide to try local foods and spoke to us about the history of the food and drinks 🤟🏻
The polish food & drink experience is thoughally recommended. Went to a couple of different resturants sampling varoious polish dishes and vodka shots. Our guide was Dale. We not only ate and drank but he gave us an insight on how these dishes came about and about polish food culture. The food was very good and we had a fabulous time. Well worth it.
A good way to experience a little local food and vodka and get to meet a few new friends. Dale was a great host and we learned lots we wouldn't have done had we just been out on our own. If you've got a couple of hours to spare I would recommend the tour.
A fun evening. A good mix of Polish staple dishes plus some tasty vodkas that would suit most people. Our group were fun and interesting people, so we left with a very nice feeling about the evening. I would recommend this ir something similar.
It was a wonderful experience where even though it was raining heavy Dale made me and my friends feel wa and comfortable making us feel Polish with the food and drinks that the locals do to get warm.
Dale was fantastic. Very informative, organised and answered any questions that was asked. He enhanced our visit to Krakow immensely and would highly recommend doing this tour and any walking tours (we did 2).
Lovely food tour. All 5 courses were delicious. We went back the next day to get more smoked cheese! I was glad I could take the dessert to go, as I was very full. Not too much walking if you are worried about that.
We really enjoyed this tour. Dale was very knowledgeable about the food and drinks of Poland and very accommodating to our variety of interests and ages in our group. It was a nice way to try different traditional Polish foods. Dale was very good about engaging with everyone in the group. I would use City Walks Krakow Tours again.
Excellent tour! Would definitely book it again if I come back in the future. Dale (our guide) was very passionate about his stories and the history of food as the facinating wodka culture of Poland. The tour felt like going to different restaurants/food stalls with a friend who knows everything (keep it realistic, hes not a walking encyclopedia) about the aspects of the Polish cuisine. We've had answers for things we were already wondering beforehand about the city, food and wodka culture of Krakow (Poland in general). A perfect mix of taste, knowledge and fun for groups of all ages and compositions! Cheers to the organisation!
Dale was a great guide for our Polish food and vodka experience, we had 4 courses and 4 vodkas in 2 different restaurants and ended for the final vodka shot in a vodka bar. Dale told us a lot about the different dishes and the history of vodka. A very nice way to spend the evening visiting restaurants that you would not have discovered on your own. Highly recommended.
Kami was welcoming and knowledgeable about the food scene in Krakow. A great night was had and reasonably prices in comparison with competitors. Highly recommend and Kamil also.
Great night out with Kamil, very knowledgeable, great food, good vodka! Got to experience some foods we would have missed out on
We really enjoyed our food tour. It was a nice way to meet people and have a little more personalized attention and ask questions. We took 3 tours with Dale and they were all informative, interesting and at a good pace. Not too fast, not too slow. I like that all the tours meet at the same place also. Makes it so much easier to keep straight and remember.
Was a wonderful way to go to several restaurants and try things. We would have never known some of the places were even there! Dale did a great job explaining everything and sharing polish traditions!
I joined his tour on my own, but felt really welcomed by the guide and the others in the group. I really recommend it, especially if you are only in Krakow for a couple of days and don't have time to try lots of restaurants. It was a great way to learn about Polish food and taste some amazing vodkas. The guide also recommended other bars and restaurants to try the next day. It's also worth mentioning that the vegetarian options were really tasty, especially the soup. I felt like I got a good sample of traditional Polish food, even without the meat.
Dale was a great tour guide. He made us feel like old friends and gave us plenty of good advice to what to see and do around Krakow.
This was a great way to try some traditional Polish food and drink while in Krakow, and learn about the origins in the meantime. The guide, Dale, was excellent and full of knowledge. Thoroughly enjoyed the night and would recommend for anyone looking for things to do in Krakow. Make sure you try the Mad Dog shot!
My group of 7 had a brilliant time on the food tour. Dale is knowledgeable and passionate about his work. We ate a fine selection of different foods and vodkas and learnt the history of each dish. Would recommend this food tour, or any of Dales tours to anyone visiting Krakow.
As a solo traveller this was a great way to meet other people and learn more about the culture of Krakow. Dale was an excellent host with a wealth of knowledge. He took us to some great restaurants that I would not have found on my own. The food and vodka chosen as part of this tour appealed to everyone. We all left with a greater understanding of not only what to order next time but why each dish is so much a part of the Polish lifestyle.
