We did the vodka tour last night with Natalia as our guide and really enjoyed it. She knows a lot about Polish vodka and explained each one as we went, what it was, how it's made and some of the history and traditions around it. We tasted a lot of different vodkas and I had no idea there was that much variety. Natalia kept it relaxed and fun the whole night and the time went fast. If you're in Kraków it's a great way to spend an evening. We'd recommend booking with Natalia.
I almost canceled as I am not a big drinker, and I am so glad I didn't. It was so much fun and our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about sharing stories. We drank a wide variety of vodkas at different locations, and it was well paced so you didn't feel like it was too much. I absolutely recommend.
Excellent tour & experience. Natalia is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, fun and friendly. We had numerous shots of different vodkas, Polish tapas and Polish food. Our group ended up staying in for a few drinks together! A great night, so much fun, and well worth doing. Thank you Natalia, you were great! X
The tour was really fun and interesting! We tried different vodkas and traditional Polish foods, walked around the city, and heard some great stories about Krakow. Paulina was an amazing guide! She was super friendly, funny, talkative, and full of energy. She made the whole experience even better. I definitely recommend this tour. 10/10!
My wife and I had an absolute blast on the Krakow vodka tour! Our guide, Natalia, was fantastic, her English was impeccable, and she was exceptionally knowledgeable about the history, folklore, and traditions of Polish vodka. We visited some incredible atmospheric venues, including a really unique home-made flavoured vodka café, and tasted a great variety of clear and flavoured vodkas paired with delicious Polish tapas and sweet and savoury pierogi. Natalia made the whole experience super relaxed, sociable, and full of great stories. If you’re visiting Krakow, this tour is a “must do” and definitely ask for Natalia! Thank you Natalie for such a fun and memorable experience!
Excellent and knowledgeable tour guid. Really good fun.
Better doing it than staying in hotel!
Fun night trying different types of vodka in different locations. Our favorite was when we went to the “pharmacy” where there were at least 50 different types infuse vodkas of all sorts to try. It ended up being a larger group because another guide was suddenly il and 2 groups combined, but that made it even more fun. At the first stop they were typical Polish snacks of cheese, bread pickles, and meats. and there was a nice stop for pirogies near the end. Definitely our guide, Marysia , made the tour fun …she was engaging telling us about Polish wedding customs, and the history of actor in Poland . A MUDT DO!
We had a fantastic experience!!! We toured with Marysia & Natalia who were wonderful. They gave us a delightful tour, including an amazing spread of charcuterie and pierogies and so much excellent history. The vodka was amazing! We tried so many amazing flavors yet never felt overserved.. I would highly recommend this your and our wonderful guides. They also answered questions after the tour—amazing!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Veronica was so welcoming and gracious right from the start. We connected quickly as a group because she was able to find the common connection. She shared history, traditions and cultural experiences to make the evening a memorable time. It was such a fun way to celebrate heritage and culture.
LOVED LOVED LOVED this tour. The choices of vodka and venues was well done.
Tosia and Natalia were amazing guides on this vodka tour. They shared so much information and presented it in an interactive fashion that really made the group setting fun. We’ve done other group events that don’t really bring the group together to chat and interact, but Tosia and Natalia did a great job getting everyone to really enjoy the moment. The vodkas were all amazing and it was very interesting to learn about the history of Polish vodka and the struggles in Poland’s history as well. If you’re in Krakow, I highly suggest taking this tour and enjoying the many Vodkas.
A fun and informative evening! The Old Town was jumping on a beautiful Saturday night and it was fun to try new bars and learn about different types of vodka in a vibrant atmosphere. The pierogi were excellent. Maria and Weronika were excellent guides-knowledgeable, entertaining, and friendly. Highly recommend.
We had a wondering with Maria - she was super knowledgeable along with being fun to have as our guide. 10/10 recommend!
Maria and Michal were absolutely amazing, loved it and we learnt a lot. Great guides!
We had Marysia as our tour guide who was very friendly, knowledgeable and kept the pace of the tour perfectly. We had such a good time with her and the other tour participants. Would definitely recommend as the vodka and food were amazing.
The tour was really immersive into the polish culture thanks to Marysia, our guide. She was able to tell us about traditions and fun facts about the vodka we were tasting and the country itself. She was friendly and super helpful and got us the shots in no time so that we wouldn't have to wait. Overall a very good experience and I would redo it.
This was a fantastic tour because it combined knowledge about vodka and how it has impacted everyday life in Poland. Nice historical perspective with a wide variety of tasting options. The locations selected for this tour were also diverse and interesting. Paulina, our guide was a great hostess for the city of Kraków and a good ambassador for the spirit. She had great knowledge and a fantastic personality, which made the evening tour fun.
Marysia was an amazing tour guide. She was so enthousiastic and fun. She made the tour into an whole experience, we had a lot of fun.
The tour was a lot of fun. We had Paulina as a tour guide and she was amazing. So knew a lot and made the trip even better. The wodka’s tasted good as well. 10/10
Marysia was a lovely tour guide. We ended up having a private tour since there were no other people that booked the tour. She made us feel very welcome and was easy going. She told us a lot about wodka and Krakau. The shots were very tasteful.
A brilliant premium experience. Lots of fascinating history, and excellent drinking tips. A great night!
Very informative, plenty drinks good fun. Good for solo travellers or groups. Good way to meet new people. The girls doing the tour were very pleasant
Our guides were very charismatic and clearly enthusiastic about Krakow and the history of Polish vodka. My brother-in-law says it’s by far his favorite tourist thing we’ve done. High praise indeed! Dziękuję!
I really enjoyed the tour! I learned so much about Polish vodka and its history! Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable as well.
It was a lot of fun. Martyna was a great host. She knew a lot about Vodka and kept up a good energy throughout the night. You tasted lots of drinks but never to the point of becoming drunk. All of it was to enjoy the taste.
The tour was a great mix of Polish Vodka history and really interesting Vodka tastings. Never knew there were that many flavours of Vodka! Paulina really brought the experience together and the group enjoyed all ger knowledge and insight.

Paulina and Martyna were excellent hosts, giving us great drinks, delicious food and an informative story of the history of vodka and Poland. The showed us some real hidden gems and were extremely accommodating for our stag do and my Gluten free friend, offering a guaranteed coeliac friendly option for the meal.
The guided vodka tasting tour was incredible and extremely well-organized from start to finish. I loved that the tour wasn't just about drinking, but also gave us the perfect opportunity to enjoy a lovely walk around the main square and take in the surroundings. The variety of vodkas we tried was impressive, and you can truly feel the authenticity of the whole experience. But the absolute highlight of the tour was our guide, Paulina. I cannot thank her enough! She was a fantastic guide, so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and highly attentive to everyone in the group. She made the tasting so much fun and engaging. If you are looking for an authentic and well-paced tour, don't hesitate. Highly recommended!
A great tour - Sylwia was a great guide with fluent level English and a great sense of humour. An opportunity to visit some places that you wouldnt find without the tour and some great food and drinks along the way. One of the best food and drinks tours i have done
We had an awesome time at our sit in vodka tasting experience! The hosts were super knowledgable and friendly and we all had a super fun time. The vodkas all tasted great and was great to have some local snacks with it. They also helped me rearrange my booking last minute and were super professional which was awesome. Would definitely recommend!
Paulina and Maria were great. Gave us a good history breakdown and got us enough vodka that we went back to one of the stops with the rest of the group! Super fun! Even has a food stop!
Great tasting experience, entertaining and tasty!
One of the best tours I’ve ever been on! Michal was an incredible guide, providing interesting cultural and historical tidbits along the way while being a gracious host and a good time! Loved the diversity of vodkas we were able to try and had some amazing charcuterie and pierogis along the way as well! Would def do this tour again when in Krakow and it’s a must-do for anyone that can!
The evening was great. I went with my husband and there was one other gentleman who joined us. It was nice to be in a small group. Paulina was so nice and knowledgeable about vodka and her pride in Kraków shine through. She did an amazing job explaining the different kinds of vodka, the history and how the Polish people love and respect their signature drink. She had also chosen great food to try during the night. We walked around parts of the city and showed us many local spots. She was a delight and cones highly recommended.
I went on the vodka tour as part of a Stag-do. Would highly recommend it - one of the highlights of both times I have visited Krakow and especially recommended as part of a Stag-do. A combination of trying different Vodkas, food, information about vodka and it's connection to poland and ending the tour walking through the city. The girl who took the tour was knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend!
Paulina was welcoming and vivacious throughout. We started at MyPub Bracka. We found out most of us shared a palette with the favourite vodka of the Rolling Stones . Also starter snacks of kielbasa , kabanos, cheeses and bread yum ! Then onto artisan liqueur vodka place - my favourite was apple one … but a weird and wonderful selection. Then a stop at a pierogi ( polish dumpling ) restaurant - v trad . I found the 72% vodka at our next stop challenging but an experience . After that a cherry vodka at our penultimate stop seemed like non alcoholic pop as did the lemon vodka at our last venue. Highly recommend 👍🏻
The vodka tour was definitely the highlight of our trip to Krakow! We had such a fun evening and our guide Wotjek was so friendly and informative. We really enjoyed trying all of the different vodkas at a great range of bars and venues with food stops to keep us fuelled along the way. Highly recommend!!
Price and experience was amazing, Tosha was an amazing tour guide and explained the history and answered our questions all about Poland and vodka Would highly recommend the tour and Tosha
Tosia was a great guide and gave us lots of information on the history of vodka and its place in Polish history. We got shots of the important vodkas as well as guidance on how and when vodka is drunk (spoiler alert: it's pretty much at any occasion!). We moved from shots to sipping and on to speciality home-made flavoured vodkas. Along the way, there were polish tapas-style meats and cheeses as well as savoury and sweet perogi. Perhaps the best bit of the tour was meeting other like-minded people and sharing stories both during and after the tour.
Tosia was an amazing guide for the Vodka tour. She gave us the history of Vodka in Poland and showed us various bars for Vodka and took us to an amazing Perogie place as a break. Hats off to Tosia for making our last evening in Krakow an amazing experience!!!
We absolutely loved our vodka tasting tour with Marysia. She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about vodka. We tried lots of different flavours and had amazing dumplings and polish food too! Well worth doing and we got to explore lots of different hidden gems!
Did a vodka tasting as part of our stag do in Krakow with 8 of us, and it was brilliant. Tosia and Michal were really kind and informative, full of knowledge about the vodkas and the history behind them, and they had the perfect read on the group. The vodkas were varied and tasty, and the pacing was spot on. Never felt like a tourist trap, just a properly fun afternoon. If you're doing a stag do in Krakow, do this. Ask for Tosia and Michal if you can.
It was so fun! Great history, knowledge and humour from our tour guide michał, which made the experience 10x better. The variety of locations, snacks and vodkas exceeded my expectations. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough!! Thank you Michał :)
Fabulous fun filled and vodka fuelled few hrs with Sylwia our guide. It was a small group of 10 and we had so many laughs as well as very informative information about the history of vodka in Poland. We had Tapas and tasters before we went to a few different bars to sample more vodkas incl a stop to sample Pierogi. Great value for money but beware of the moonshine 😁
Fantastic time! A fusion of fun, a bit of learning and some great tasting exploring several varieties. Our guide Marysia was outstanding and made the venture a great experience!
Fun, entertaining activity. great guide. mostly tasting niche flavored vodkas. was hoping to have a more serious opportunity to taste good polish vodka but this was more light fun. Started with nice tray of food but the pierogi only stop seemed unnecessary. depends what you are looking for.
The event was really fun. The ladies hosting the event was very knowledgeable and made the tour great fun. We were very lucky with the group as well - it made the whole experience even better. We really enjoyed this event. A MUST when travelling to Krakow.
