Jacob gave a great tour of Old Town, Kazimierz and the Jewish Ghetto. He pick us up right on time in his golf cart and showed us all the sites. He was very knowledgeable and even gave us suggestions as where we should go to learn more about the city. It was a wonderful tour and I would highly recommend Jacob.

Very detailed tour. Lots stops that we could take photos. Kept us moving all the time. Detail to history and facts was excellent t. Very kind and had good humour.
Excellent tour. We're always happy to walk everywhere but you can cover a lot of distance in a golf buggy (& shelter from the elements) which meant we saw a lot more than we expected (and we upgraded to cover 3 districts). Our guide Jakub was very knowledgeable and engaging, allowing time to stop and take photos, and even customising the route so that we could finish at the restaurant where we had pre-booked lunch. Thank you Jakub!
This tour was wonderful. It was a great way to see a lot in a small amount of time. I learned a lot about Krakow and its history. Jacob was really engaging as well. Would highly recommend the experience!
This was a great tour! Our guide spoke perfect English and taught us a lot of history about Krakow. We were able to see all of the sites we wanted to see plus a lot more. We did the 1 1/2 hours and it was perfect. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great experience. The driver actually picked us up at our hotel next to the old section of Krakow. The tour of old town Krakow was informative and covered a lot of ground. Highly recommend.
Tour took us to all around Krakow. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
Nice overview of the city. Jacob gave us a comprehensive and informative tour of Krakow. Definitely take this tour to understand the history of Krakow.
It was an easy way to get our bearings in the city. Our driver was knowledgeable and entertaining.
Jacob was amazing!! Friendly, in-time, very informative & relaxed! He didn’t even mind that we went over the time limit. Plus he was more reasonably priced than most of the others! Thanks Jacob! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
The guide was great. Very informative however there are a lot of other options available at a cheaper price. I was surprised how many were available on the street without needing a booking.
It was wonderful! We had a large group and sitting in one cart would have been tight. The driver quickly called another cart to accommodate us and it was great that they stayed together the whole time so we could enjoy it all together. You'll see everything! Definitely recommend this way to see the Old Town and surrounding area highlights.
In a very competitive market we were bombarded with operators trying to sell us tours of krakow, the Jewish district in particular. Prices were quite wide ranging from 400 zloty for a whole tour covering three districts, 360 zloty for one district only, etc. A minefield! We eventually were approached by a guy called Vlad who was parked up at the crossroads half way down Grodzka Street. We got what we wanted for 200 zloty with the promise we would do the tour the following day. We were given a buggy for just the two of us, we were driven by Sarah, a most informative and considerate guide who gave us great insights into the history of krakow. We had a very pleasant couple of hours on a very hot day. Can we thank both Vlad and Sarah for being such lovely people to deal with. They are great ambassadors for krakow!
Great way to see the major places of interest and get a feel for where you want to go. All while sitting down! We pre booked and our guide Matthew was friendly and very informative. We were also able to ring and confirm the pick up location which was helpful.
Jacob was an absolutely fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable on the history of Krakow. We loved every minute
What an excellent trip! We took the 1.5 hour private tour with Jacob, who was fun & knowledgeable. Would recommend.
Excellent way to see the city. Our driver and guide, Jacob, was fabulous, very informative and happy to answer our many questions. Highly recommend.
Paulina was our guide and was very upbeat, friendly and lovely to talk with. Good driver, too. This golf cart tour was a great way to get our bearings in Krakow. We are very pleased we booked this tour. Riding around in the cart is so much more pleasant than a bus. We were blessed with cool but sunny weather so we were very comfortable.
A good way to see a lot of the city. Our driver was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Fantastic tour, picked up promptly, comfortable and warm transport, well driven. Jacob was friendly and informative. This was a great start to our trip and helped us not only get our bearings but work out what we wanted to see more of. Well worth the money.

Really enjoyed our first ever buggy tour with Jacob. Got to see more than a traditional walking tour. Jacob was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
We're so glad we booked this tour with Jacob. His local perspective brought the history and transformation of Krakow to life in a very personal way. We wouldn't hesitate to book with him again on a future summer trip! Thank you, Jacob!
We toured on Nov 25th with Jacob. He picked us up in front of our hotel and was early waiting for us in a heated golf cart. Even though it was drizzling, he provided a great tour in the completely covered cart, which included warm blankets. Jacob was knowledgeable about all the areas around Krakow and so friendly. I highly recommend this tour.
Great way to see the city! Our guide gave us local recommendations which is a plus! I would suggest taking the tour the first day!
Toured around krakow with Jacob our host. Spent a good 2 hours around the old town. Then he took us down to the Jewish area. Then finally down to the ghetto where schindlers factory was. Very informative. Fairly priced and a great English speaking tour host.
We had a wonderful day with our driver Jacob! the information provided and the sites that were seen were amazing! We were on a private tour for 5 people and Jacob ensured that we saw all that Krakow considered its beaty and its history! Truly recommend him! The cost per person was truly reasonable and worth it!
Excellent tour. Jacob was very informative and was very willing to answer any of our questions during the tour. Jacob was very good communicating with us prior to the trip so we understood what we would expect
Jacob was so friendly. Thank you for the journey! We were from Finland, first time in Krakow and tour was perfect to look at the old town and Ghetto area.
Excellent tour. It’s was very informative. Our guide, Matt (I think) was amazing. He picked us up at the hotel and was a few minutes early. He recommended all kinds of local places to go and see. He was extremely knowledgeable.
A really excellent tour - as first time visitors to Krakow it introduced us to some of the key areas of the city. Really knowledgeable guide with some key facts and history, as well as the whole experience being a lot of fun.
Our guide Matthew was courteous, knowledgeable and provided numerous recommendations that we followed up on and enjoyed. Our experience set the scene for the rest of our holiday in and around Krakow. We would highly recommend this sightseeing tour. Thank you Matthew and Jacob!
Jacob was brilliant arrived promptly at the hotel. The golf cart was clean and comfortable. Lots of information both from Jacob and the audio through the cart. Definitely worth this as it is a great way to navigate the city
Matthew gave us a full 2 hour tour of Krakow while sharing an interesting commentary of the locations and landmarks. The kart was very comfortable and the whole afternoon throughly enjoyable. He even recommended a great restaurant and directions back to the station for us. Superb.
This was a great tour- driver was wonderful and so informative!!!! We had Matthew and he picked us up at our hotel-he did a nice job of showing us everything and giving us great history lesson on this beautiful city!!!! Highly recommend!!
I really recommend taking this guided tour before beginning your exploration of Karakow. I can only highly recommend Jacob, our guide. His knowledge of the history of this beautiful city is incredible and fascinating. There was time to take photographs and the various stops, which were accompanied by a very good audio recording, though Jacob’s description of his home city was superb and often illustrated With his own photographs. Do not hesitate, take this tour.
Very knowledgeable guide, tour wasn’t rushed. Really enjoyed the experience. Picked us up from accommodation and asked if we wanted to be dropped anywhere else.
Excellent trip from start to finish. Our tour was packed with useful information and completely met our needs. Our guide was polite, friendly and very well informed. He was ready and waiting for us at our hotel and made every effort to keep the tour engaging. The golf cart was also a great way to get around and was clean and comfortable
Interesting way to see the city via golf-cart vehicle Our driver / tour guide Jacob was very informative and very helpful
Jacob was a fantastic tour guide. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and nothing was a trouble to him. I would highly recommend.
