Walking tour of Krakow - Pawel Mrozowicz was an excellent guide. He had an extensive knowledge of Krakow and the city sights, as well as the surrounding area and history. He was articulate in English and kept a walking pace to match the group. He has an art history background so he was able to discuss more of the cultural and art aspects of Krakow.

I booked the walking tour... - I booked the walking tour 1 week prior to the holiday. This was best for me & my friend but it is worth noting that other people on the tour did just turn up on the day which provides for flexibility. Chris our guide was excellent. He walked us through the history of Krakow with flair which brought the stories of the city to life. Would recommend.
