Tomas- great engaging tour! Would recommend! - Loved our tour with Tomas! He was engaging, funny, telling his own story along the way. We have 2 kids with us and he was keeping them interested and moved on when he saw the kids on the tour needing to move. We learned a lot about the old town and would definitely book a tour with him again!

A Thought Provoking Experience - Tomasz gave us a very personal, humorous and historical perspective on Krakow. He used a wide range of referencing to give a holistic view using literature, philosophy, cultural and religious ideas to explain the complex background of Krakow, linking the past to today. We enjoyed it very much and would like to have taken his Jewish Tour but ran out of time! Thank you!
