A stroll through Kraków’s history. - A very enjoyable 3-4 hours in the company of Christopher. I feel I could have taken an A level exam at the end. Such was the level of knowledge imparted. Very good. Give it a go. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely Walking Tour - Krzystof was brilliant, very knowledgeable and passionate about Poland's history. He showed us unique places that you don't see from the street and taught us that Poland is inside.
The places we saw were all beautiful and full of history. The tour is 3 hours long but it is done at an easy pace with plenty of stopping
