Our tour guide was Christopher and he was fantastic. He met us at our Airbnb and he was so knowledgeable about the history of Krakow. We really enjoyed all of the stories and the historical perspective of Krakow. You should definitely visit beautiful Krakow and request Christopher as your tour guide!!

Our tour with Chris was absolutely spectacular. He showed us all over the beautiful wawel castle and old town of Krakow. Chris is also so knowledgable in general about everything regarding the city’s history. I would absolutely recommend starting your Krakow trip with him.

Very informative tour at a pleasant pace. The history lesson was just the right amount of depth. Our questions were answered.
Kirsty_M, Apr 2026
Our tour guide Chris was amazing, totally recommend this tour. He was very passionate about his city and culture of Poland and we learnt so much about the history and way of life of Krakow. I've been to Krakow before but he surprised me with so many new hidden spots and the bugler was perfectly timed and magical. Made our visit to Poland even better than we could have imagined!

Our guide Krzysztof Blaszczyk did a fantastic job with our private group of 4. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of Krakow. He is very professional and managed time very well so we did not miss anything. We highly recommend him.

Andrew was marvelous… full of knowledge, history and great stories. Wonderful tour of a beautiful city.
Mikko_R, Mar 2026
I have experienced many private tours recently in many places and this ranks very high among them. Very pleasant guide, clear English, very flexible and understands the various angles I am coming from
and could fill-in just the areas I wanted.
Francesca_B, Feb 2026
Excellent private tour of the old town and Wawel Hill. Christopher was very friendly and knowledgeable. Had a lovely chat with him too as we warmed up with hot chocolates at the Collegium Maius cafe. Highly recommended
Bernice_S, Nov 2025
Christopher was so knowledgeable & very proud of his home town. He took his time explaining its history and culture. He was, of course, very lovely and spoke perfect English.
Having a private tour was fantastic.
Matthew_D, Nov 2025
Great private tour, can take time as needed and avoid the mass group feel. It was nice to have Christopher take the time to provide the tour how I liked and stop a moment more at some things and skip some things.
Rodney_P, Oct 2025
Chris did a great job. He knew our walking limitations, our interests, and our time constraints and he tailored the tour for us. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. Will certainly ask for him during our next trip to Krakow.
Gill_D, Aug 2025
This was a lovely experience. Chris was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and very clear in his information and explanations. We saw many details in Krakow that we would otherwise have missed. An engaging guide it was clear that Chris had many years experience and a genuine interest in sharing his knowledge and love of his amazing city. He had plenty of recommendations and helped us with several queries and issues about our visit. A private tour has a lot to recommend it: one to one attention is very helpful and we got a lot more out of this tour than on a typical group tour. Thanjs!
Debra_K, Aug 2025
Krys was an excellent tour guide. He was well versed in the history of significant buildings and areas. He engaged us in the stories and kept the tour going at just the right pace. We packed a lot in in 2 hours.

The three-hour tour flew by, and our guide provided a great perspective about the history of this beautiful city.
Sarah_D, Mar 2025
Christopher was an amazing guide. We booked a last minute tour in the early evening and everything was seamless. Not only was he extremely informative and kind, but he tailored the itinerary to better suit the hours of the sights and make sure we didn’t miss anything important. We highly recommend booking this experience - it will be time well spent learning about this beautiful city!
Ish_D, Mar 2025

Wayne_H, Jan 2025
Excellent Old City Walking Tour with Chris who was our guide for 3 hours. Chris was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Weather was cold with heavy snowfall but Chris was very accommodating stopping for a hot chocolate on the way so we could warm up! I would highly recommend this tour as it gives you an insight into this beautiful city that you would otherwise miss. Highlight of our visit to Krakow.
John_D, Jan 2025
The tour was very informative and opens up parts of Krakow you would never have seen without the knowledge ofca guide. Would recommend.
nicolegalinsky, Jan 2025
Christopher was an excellent guide for me, my husband, 17 yr old & 22 yr old. He knew the city and its history well and was very interesting. He answered any question we had and even helped with local recommendations. The pace was just right for us.
Valeria_F, Jan 2025
We had a great experience! Learned more than we were expecting and got great suggestions for activities for the rest of our stay. Got the first snow of the year!!

Christopher is an excellent tour guide!
We are very happy for having him, as he is very knowledgeable, informative, professional and polite.
We learned a lot from him about the history culture of the beautiful Krakow.
Ellent1, Oct 2024
We had a really enjoyable walking tour with Krzysztof to explore this beautiful and fascinating city. The amount of detail that was shared about the history, architecture and culture truly amazed me. Krzysztof had such in-depth knowledge and kept us engaged for 3 hours. We covered a lot of ground and it gave us an interest to explore more of the city and further into Poland.
Myra_E, Oct 2024
I had a private walking tour..... I thought I booked for a small group tour..... I don't know what happened but Cris was extra nice..... it was kind of expensive but I think Cris tried his best to make it worthwhile..... unfortunately the Wawel Castle was closed due to Presidential Summit of 10 European Presidents.
Leslie_R, Aug 2024
A memorable tour of Krakow with Chris who had excellent knowledge of the city he was born in and studied in.
Jianfei_S, Jun 2024
Our tour guide was a true professional who loves his profession. In 3 hours, he led us to all important landmarks in and around the Krakow old town; and added more charms to this beautiful and fascinating city with his deep knowledge and enthusiasm. Highly recommend
