Kasia was our tour guide and we had a wonderful time. She had a lot of knowledge about Poland and polish food. We were very full by the time we left but we enjoyed everything we tried. We would definitely recommend taking this tour to learn more about Krakow and Polish food. Kasia emailed us the details of what we ate after the tour which was helpful since we can’t always remember everything we tried. We were lucky to have a small group which made it very personal.

Outstanding food tour.

Beth_S, Apr 2026

Mateusz did an outstanding job on the tour. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour that night, so Mateusz tailored the evening to our questions and preferences. We stopped at 4 unique restaurants/bars in places we would not have found on our own and got a great taste of Polish food and drink. Come hungry!

10/10 Must Do!

Matthew_T, Jan 2026

My tour guide Alicja was awesome. I booked very late in the afternoon for a night tour, she accommodated me perfectly. As I booked late it was just me on the tour, she took me to 4 stops, first starting with Pierogis. They had meat, potatoes & white cheese, cabbage & mushrooms, sweet ones with cheese and raspberry. My favourite was the potato and white cheese. Next she took me to a great underground bar which I returned to the next night, where we had Hot apple cider. It was my first time trying it, I wanted to immerse myself in Polish culture and this helped. It was really good and did warm me up. The third place was the main meal, as a single person i ate as much as I could, the food was amazing and wonderful. I especially enjoyed thr Zurek and potato pancakes. For dessert we had a wonderful dessert, which was like an apple pie with sweet jam and cream. It was amazing! Although i was full from dinner i still ate it all. The last place we went to was a bar where we had a WIŚNIÓWKA (cherry shot for digestion) Overall rhe experience was amazing, food incredible and Alicja was awesome. She answered questions i had about the food and culture and we had a great time. If Alicja is your guide consider yourself lucky!

Love at first bite!

Our Bites and Sights tour was the first thing we did after arriving in Krakow, and it was the perfect beginning. Kasia was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable on so many things Krakow and Poland. We enjoyed our time with her so much, and the food was amazing. Be sure NOT to eat the day of the tour because you will be filled with many amazing Polish treats. Dziekuje, Kasia!

Was great tour of food and history. I would recommend that you do this tour the first day of your time in Krakow. Monikia gave me tons of ideas, places to go and places to eat and drink

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Hi Ken How are you? Thank you very much for being on this tour and for leaving such a nice opinion. I really appreciate. Hope to see you again soon, Monika

Great food with a history lesson

FrankThomas_L, Oct 2022

Marta is an excellent guide sharing the history of Krakow as well as stories of her own life. She took us to places that are locally owned and are not tourist destinations. One was a pub in the basement of a building dating back to the 1300s. The variety of foods was great. We really enjoyed the evening with Marta.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Dear Frank. How are you? Thank you very much for being on our tour and for leaving your opinion. We really appreciate. All the best from Krakow, Monika

Great host, great drinks, great food

Myrthe_v, May 2022

It turned out to be a private tour which gave us a very unique experience. We learned lots of new things about krakow and the polish cuisine. Monika was an amazing host, she took the time to explain the food and told us a lot about the city. She is very passionate about the foodtour and it shows. We deliberately waited to eat any polish dishes before the tour and were very happy that we did that, because the food we had was really really good.

Response from Host, May 2022

Hi Myrthe. Thank you very much for being on the tour with me and for taking the time to write such a nice review. I really appreciate it. If you need anything from Poland, Im always here happy to help. All the best from Krakow, Monika
