5.00If you love history and want a lovely walk through Kraków's Old Town, I highly recommend this tour! I was truly transported back in time at every stop. Arturo is a great storyteller and an excellent guide who will answer all your questions. The Dragon that spits fire was one of the cool highlights if you ask me, but I also loved the other stories that are been told in this tour.
I can’t recommend Arthur highly enough — if you want a tour of Krakow that’s both insightful and enjoyable, he’s the guide you n

5.00If you’re visiting Krakow and want the best possible guide, look no further than Arthur! He is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems, but he also has a natural talent for storytelling that makes every moment unforgettable. What makes Arthur truly stand out is his ability to connect with people from all around the world — he speaks seven languages fluently! This made our tour feel personal and engaging, and it was amazing to see how easily he could make everyone in the group feel included. Arthur’s passion for Krakow shines through in everything he does. From the main landmarks to the little off-the-beaten-path spots you’d never find on your own, he gives you a real sense of the city’s soul. On top of that, he’s warm, funny, and genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a fantastic experience.
Well paced , very informative!

Rude local Guide in Krakow

1.00The local guide was arrogant. I just suggested that there should be a visible sign for the meeting place so it is easier for customers to find it. Instead the local tour guide lectured me of using my phone for finding directions and so on. I tried to stop his lecturing me and start with the tour. Instead he arrogantly said, I am not taking you. I have been using history during my trips in many European countries and this is my first encounter with a rude and arrogant local guide. Thankfully we were accommodated by this guy who does Free Tour and he was knowledgeable..
Excellent evening tour - just do it!

4.00Our guide Vlad was very interesting and funny. His personal connections to the places and stories really brought a nice touch. Starting in the main square we were able to see everything that is usually missed by the casual observer. We then moved onto the park and got to see many of Krakow's famous churches on the way.
