We had a really fantastic 2 hour tour with Christoph. He’s extremely knowledgeable and keeps it interesting but not overwhelming with facts. We really enjoyed spending our morning with him and would highly recommend as an intro to the city and its history!
Excellent tour! Chris meet us at our hotel on time. He did a great job explaining and providing the history behind all the sights that we visited. Well worth every penny. Highly recommend.
Christopher was truly amazing guide. ,informative, interesting and fun. Pointed out points of interest that we should visit more thoroughly on our own. Great introduction to fascinating Krakow.
Excellent tour with Kristov! He went at a great pace and explained the history and the culture in an interesting manner. He also gave us suggestions on highlights to go back to on our own …we did the trumpeters tower and got a picture with the trumpeter and also the bell tower the next day… these were highlights!! He gave wonderful recommendations for dinners and bars as well! We definitely would use him again on another tour.
Chris was very prompt to meet us at the hotel & start our city walking tour. He was full of knowledge and very passionate about Krakow. We enjoyed the city even more from the stories Chris shared with us. I will absolutely recommend him to my clients visiting Krakow. Thank you again for showing us your beautiful city and sharing its history.
Good and extensive tour. It guide was very knowledgeable about the city and it's history. You cover a lot of ground on this tour so your kept moving. Understand that while you will visit the outside of the Castle, you won't tour the inside.
I really enjoyed the three hour walking tour with Kris. He knows the history and culture of Krakow well, and is enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. We walked at a good pace. This was an excellent introduction to the old town of Krakow and Wawel Hill. I’d recommend the experience!
Joanna was an excellent tour guide. She met us at our Airbnb and took us through old town and the castle. She was very entertaining with both true history and folklore. We saw all of the primary sights and some only a native would know. Joanna spoke english very well and was very open to our questions and comments. This was an ideal way to start our Krakow vacation. We highly recommend this tour.
Christopher was excellent. Very knowledgeable and extremely personable. He was also flexible with our time, which was greatly appreciated.
Our family had a wonderful tour with Christopher. He was full of knowledge, stories and legends of this beautiful city and really brought the city to life for us. Our children loved the tour also. Highly recommend if you are visiting Krakow!
Chris was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. It was the perfect introduction to Krakow and a really good way to get our bearings while learning more about the history of the city. Chris was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole tour really interesting and enjoyable. We enjoyed it so much that Chris also arranged another tour for us around the Jewish Quarter a few days later, which was just as good. Would definitely recommend Chris to anyone visiting Krakow. A brilliant guide and a great way to start our trip. Thank you again!
We had great experience on walking tour. I admire the experience and focus on our individual needs Recommended
A great city tour by a very knowledgeable guide. Krystof gave us an absolutely great overview of the city's highlights and its past.
Knowledgeable guide and very interesting - would highly recommend our guide. Loved the variety and attention to detail
Chris is fantastic. Krakow is a great city. And Chris is not only very proud of his country and his city, but also very knowledgeable. It was a great tour. And Chris is fabulous tour guide. I wish we had more time with him to learn more about Krakow. If you are going to tour Krakow, and you should, Chris is definitely the the guide you want.
We had a wonderful tour of Krakow with Chris! He was an excellent guide that showed us all around this beautiful city. We learned all about its amazing history and admired all the incredible sights and unique architecture. Would highly recommend this tour!
It was a great introduction to Krakow. Our guide, Krystoph, was extremely informative, telling us about the history of the city and of Poland.
This walking tour was a really exceptional way to understand the Krakow old town and learn its history. We learned a plethora of interesting information and if you want to get a grasp of Krakow and its historical culture you must take this tour.
I used withlocals.com to find a great guide, Bartek, for a 3-hour culture and history walking tour of Krakow. For me, it was worth it to be able to ask questions and develop some understanding of Poland and Krakow rather than hear a predigested recitation of facts without a narrative, like on the group tour of the Wawel I took earlier. The solo tour cost only 4x what I paid to be one of 23 connected to the guide by an audio headphone speaker. Bartek was very attentive, gracious, informative, and warm. The perfect guide for a visitor who wants to at least begin to understand Poland and Krakow, both historically and in the present. I felt like I really engaged. During a brief coffee break I requested we wound up sharing pictures of family toddlers. I’d hire Bartek again on a future visit and recommend him highly.
Very good English, he knew his stuff, very generous on information, everything is.close by and timing with events worked well
Our tour guide was Christopher and he was fantastic. He met us at our Airbnb and he was so knowledgeable about the history of Krakow. We really enjoyed all of the stories and the historical perspective of Krakow. You should definitely visit beautiful Krakow and request Christopher as your tour guide!!
Super guide with a deep knowledge and passion for his city.
My colleague and I were only in Krakow for a short period of time, and this private tour was the perfect way to get a really good overview of the city. Chris met us on time at our hotel and was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all our questions. He gave us a really interesting overview of the history of Krakow and Poland, with lots of fascinating tidbits along the way. The tour was nicely paced, although there was an overwhelming amount of information to take in! Highly recommend.
Took an evening tour as an introductory tour of our visit to Krakow! Chris was very accommodative and agreed to pick us up from our hotel a bit earlier than our scheduled booking... AND HE WAS AMAZING, knowledgeable and it was a great and educative introduction to the history of Krakow Old Town and the Wawel Hill... he introduced us to amazing tit bits of Krakow's architecture, monuments and churches ... Three Cheers to Him and we would highly recommend his private tours! Thank you Chris for the amazing walk....
My wife and I did the half day Old Town and Wawel Castle Private Tour as well as a couple other tours with Chris and thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He's a wealth of knowledge about Krakow, Poland and Polish Jewish history, not to mention his own interesting family story. He paced his walks quite well, was always on time, easy going, patient with our many questions and easy to understand. We were grateful for his perfect English as we knew zero Polish. His prices were quite fair. We would happily use Chris again and we highly recommend him.
Fantastic! Chris was incredibly knowledgeable about Kraków and all of the sites. He answered our questions and really created a wonderfully informative tour. Loved his energy and how enthusiastic he was about sharing the history of Poland. We saw many churches, learned about Copernicus, Pope John Paul II, artist Jan Matejko, and so much more. Old Town and Wawel Castle were beautiful and very vibrant. Highly recommend!
Our tour with Christopher was fantastic! He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, just lovely! We highly recommend him!
Our tour with Chris was absolutely spectacular. He showed us all over the beautiful wawel castle and old town of Krakow. Chris is also so knowledgable in general about everything regarding the city’s history. I would absolutely recommend starting your Krakow trip with him.
Our guide thru krakow was amazing!! He was so incredibly informative and knowledgeable. He told us all the small details. He walked at a slow pace with us and made us feel very comfortable. I was so glad that we had taken this tour and would recommend to anyone traveling to krakow Poland!!
Kris was very knowledgable and interesting. Translation was excellent.
Very informative tour at a pleasant pace. The history lesson was just the right amount of depth. Our questions were answered.
We did a 3 hour private tour as a family with 2 teenagers and had a great introduction to the historical area in Old Town Krakow. Our guide Chris was very patient with us and allowed us to stop for bathroom breaks, to buy some local treats, and gave us advice on some local restaurants and museums to check out to further our experience. He shared much of the history and culture of Krakow and answered our questions about how things have changed over time since the end of Communism. This was a great way to start our trip to Poland and Krakow, specifically. I would highly recommend this tour for a small group seeking individualized attention and to learn history.
Chris was a fantastic guide. He knows just stuff and provided the right amount of detail that interested us all and did it at a pace that was comfortable. Highly recommend!
Chris was very professional and very informative tour of Krakow. He was very nice polite and helpful.I highly recommend his service.
Chris was amazing. His knowledge coupled with a local connection was endless. The walking tour of Krakow flew by and we all came away with a little more knowledge of the city and a respect for its history. Chris delivered his tour in a professional and friendly way which kept us engaged throughout. No questions were left unanswered and including the ones we hadn’t thought of. If you get an opportunity to enjoy one of Chris’s tours you will not be disappointed he is a brilliant guide.
Our tour guide Chris was amazing, totally recommend this tour. He was very passionate about his city and culture of Poland and we learnt so much about the history and way of life of Krakow. I've been to Krakow before but he surprised me with so many new hidden spots and the bugler was perfectly timed and magical. Made our visit to Poland even better than we could have imagined!
Our guide Krzysztof Blaszczyk did a fantastic job with our private group of 4. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of Krakow. He is very professional and managed time very well so we did not miss anything. We highly recommend him.
Chris was wonderful! We had the best morning with him and he showed us all of the highlights of Krakow!
Andrew was marvelous… full of knowledge, history and great stories. Wonderful tour of a beautiful city.
I have experienced many private tours recently in many places and this ranks very high among them. Very pleasant guide, clear English, very flexible and understands the various angles I am coming from and could fill-in just the areas I wanted.
Excellent private tour of the old town and Wawel Hill. Christopher was very friendly and knowledgeable. Had a lovely chat with him too as we warmed up with hot chocolates at the Collegium Maius cafe. Highly recommended
Outstanding - Chris is so passionate about the city and a font of knowledge. Highly recommend. Gave some great food recommendations as well.
We were in Krakow from the United States for a wedding. What a beautiful city! Chris took us on a walking tour. He is an excellent tour guide! The tour was at our own pace. Ask for him by name for a great experience.
Christopher was so knowledgeable & very proud of his home town. He took his time explaining its history and culture. He was, of course, very lovely and spoke perfect English. Having a private tour was fantastic.
Great private tour, can take time as needed and avoid the mass group feel. It was nice to have Christopher take the time to provide the tour how I liked and stop a moment more at some things and skip some things.
Superb walking tour. Our guide Chris was very knowledgeable, beautiful city with huge history. This tour is a must. Would highly recommend.
Christopher provided a world class experience. He was very friendly, he spoke English very well and was very passionate about the city. HIGHLY recommend!
Chris did a great job. He knew our walking limitations, our interests, and our time constraints and he tailored the tour for us. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. Will certainly ask for him during our next trip to Krakow.
Our tour was excellent and Chris did a great job of arranging an interesting and informative schedule. Krakow was beautiful!
