The walking tour was perfect - we walked by each of the more famous spots within Krakow's old town - the tour guide gave us plenty of recommendations as to how we could spend the rest of our trip and what we should explore further. The tour guide, Yusuf, was very friendly, knowledgeable, engaging, and appropriately laid-back. Would definitely recommend.

Thanks so much for the great review! 😊 We’re really glad you enjoyed the tour and found the guide knowledgeable. It’s great to hear that the local food tips were useful too. Krakow has plenty of great places to eat, so hopefully you got to try some of the recommendations during your stay! Thanks again for choosing DiscoverCracow and for recommending the tour. We really appreciate it!

No show! Don’t take Viator Walking tours.

The tour operator was a no show, and did not answer the phone when contacted. This is the second Viator walking tour I have taken where the guide did not show up.

Great guide and walking tour

Matt_B, Aug 2026
I would highly recommend this walking tour as a great way to spend time on vacation with family. Our guide was Damian and he showed us some of the key sites in Krakow. He was easy to talk to and told us about restaurants and places to go in the city. We saw a lot in a short period of time and felt like we knew the city. Damian made us feel welcome and we felt like we belonged.

Good tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. She was cognizant of the extreme heat and kept a manageable pace and sought out shade.

Enjoyable morning stroll
