Big Tom’ gave us incredible insight into the history of Old Town Krakow over the course of our walking tour - it was also very nice to have the tour conducted by somebody with a formal education in History (having studied it at the local university!)

Our tour guide Max was really lovely and very funny and was so interesting to listen to. He is so passionate about Krakow which made it very easy to listen to him. We learned quite a bit and I would highly recommend doing this tour. You can give a donation at the end of the tour if you haven't paid beforehand and had I known it was going to be so good I would have definitely had more money on me to give to him. 10/10

The tour was very interesting and well led. It was one of the first things we did on our trip to the Old Town. We were led to a number of the highlight spots and a number of smaller or lesser known points. It was a healthy mix. Our guide was a great story teller and kept everyone in our family engaged, even small children. We covered a lot of area but it didn’t feel overbearing due to frequent stops. It left us with a great first taste of Krakow and showed us a number of places we returned to.

The tour was amazing from start to finish. Our guide, Ania, explained things in a very fun & entertaining way, making it very easy for everyone to remember the facts and stories she was telling us about. Overall, 10/10 experience. Plus, Ania gave us a little card with a QR code with all the places worth visiting, restaurant recommendations etc. Amazing! And such a good way to get a lovely introduction to the city

The Kraków walking tour offered a deep dive into the city's rich history and culture, showcasing iconic landmarks from the picturesque Old Town to the majestic Wawel Castle. However, the experience was somewhat overshadowed by the guide's rapid pace and the excessive amount of information shared, making it challenging to fully absorb and appreciate the details. While the guide's knowledge was impressive, a slower, more focused approach would have enhanced the overall enjoyment. Despite this, the

The guides are professionals who work hard to explain the contents in a complete, entertaining and rigorous way. We regret that in this case it didn't meet your expectations, and the explanations were too fast.

Superbe visite de Cracovie sous la neige avec notre sympathique guide qui a enrichi les explications sur les différents lieux par de belles anecdotes. Un grand merci encore à elle. Nous vous recommandons sans hésiter Civitatis pour cette proposition originale de découverte des villes touristiques.

Lovely reception from Chris on arrival and he was very informative and friendly throughout the walk. He had good interaction with the group and made good connections between the history of Poland and other countries. We really enjoyed the walking tour. Thank You Chris!

Damian was very knowledgeable about the Old Town and he included some facts and some legends! Clearly passionate about the subject and would have no issues in recommending. Whilst it’s 2.5 hours long, it’s a very leisurely pace and stopping to show the sites and a couple of ‘warm up’ places. If you go in the colder months, dress for warmth as you may not get warm walking around at the leisurely pace!

Big Tom was very good, passionate, interesting, informative, friendly. Born to be a tour guide. And best if all, we could hear him clearly, which doesn't always happen on tours. He showed off his city with pride, was so happy he was the tour guide.

The tour was fantastic. We've seen a lot of point of interests, the explanations were clear and really informative. Our tour guide was really passionate and brought a lot of fun anecdotes when telling us about the history of those iconic places. Which I spent more time in Krakow to enjoy his other tours! Definitely recommend

We attended the walking trip yesterday with Jola, I couldn't recommend it enough for the tour around the old town. We got so much information both historic and current stories. And not forgetting helpful tips to help with our stay here in Krakow. It always helps when we can have a laugh along the way. Would totally recommend to anyone coming to visit Krakow to book the walking tour online.

Jerry was a very good guide, interesting and enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable. We liked the pace of the tour, we had the opportunity to see a lot of different places in the city centre. The tour was quite long, we took a welcome break from the cold in a warm café. We highly recommend this tour!

Chris was a great, enthusiastic and knowledgable guide. Very friendly and fun. Tour was informative, the only thing I would point out is a need for a short toilet/hot drink break as spending almost 3 hours in the freezing cold weather without a toilet stop was quite challenging..

Mackey ( Matias) was the best tour guide ever. He was funny, and super knowledgeable, he is a local guy with a great sense of humor, who knows every corner, every secret, every story that is related to Krakow. Super recommended walking tour and is FREE! Everybody gave him a good tip because he really deserved it! Great job Maciek and Walkative Krakow ( the local tour operator for Civitatis) !! 10 out of 10

Lovely guide Maria very friendly and informative. On the downside I lost my wallet and all cards to a pickpocket in the Main square on my way back. Suggest walk participants be warned.. This doesn't take from the fact that Maria did an excellent job.

We are sure that our guide tried to help you in anything when your wallet was stolen. We hope you finally recovered everything.

The walk was around the city centre and led by Wlad. He was an excellent guide who had a brilliant knowledge of his subject and had a good sense of humour. He took time to make sure that everyone understood his explanation and it was 4 hours well spent. Please give him our best wishes

What a fabulous tour. Wladek was so knowledgeable and shared some of his own personal stories! Such an interesting guy and a very interesting tour. I would 100% recommend you do this when in Krakow, you are taken to all of the main sites, including the castle. I learned so much about this beautiful city.

Our guide Tomek was incredible. From the very beginning he passed his excitement and love to Cracow onto us (group members). He was very clear with his explanation of various facts and in general he was a brilliant story teller. I absolutely recommend the tour

Maria took us on a three hour walking trip through Krakow Old Town. We definitely saw places we would never have been to going by ourselves. Half way through the trip we stopped for a toilet break and anyone who wanted to purchase refreshments could do so in a local cafe. Maria’s English was perfect and she spoke loudly and clearly so everyone in our group could hear. This is advertised as a free walking trip but at the end well earned donations from us were gratefully received by Maria.
