Real GuruWalk and freetour.com reviews of the guides, quoted as written. They review the walks, not this site.
Bartek was very educational, knowledgeable, professional and witty. Great "dry sense" of humor. Reminded us of Doc Holliday in the movie Tombstone. Highly recommend this walking tour of Krokaw. Thank you!
4.86 across 6,990 GuruWalk reviews
It's such a worthwhile tour, well paced, interesting, and Magda is great!
4.87 across 4,843 GuruWalk reviews
City Walks Krakow is excellent. Rudolf is a first class guide. I’ve used Guru Walks around the world and I’d say quality wise this was up there with the best.
4.82 across 290 GuruWalk reviews
Natalie is a fantastic guide with thoughtful insights and lovely, kind person, I would recommend that if visitors can only take one tour while in krakow, it is Natalie’s.
4.78 across 93 GuruWalk reviews
The tour was really informative. We passed thru different periods of history of Jewish people in krakow and our guide was knowledgeable about them all. The last parts (around the German occupation) were hard to hear but delivered soberly. The tour itself is informative and touches on all important places. Highly recommend

The guro Marta was great. She knew a lot and was very interesting and fun. All in all we hade a really good experience.
4.56 across 27 GuruWalk reviews
We have been on many walking tours and this was one of the best. Rudolf really brought to life the impact of WW2 in Krakow and particularly the Jewish history and the terror or WW2 for the Jews in particular and for Poles more generally. Would recommend
