Thoroughly enjoyable walkabout foody tour experiencing some local gems under the expert guidance of Peter.
First class overview of the local culture and food scene with a few ‘local gems’ visited under the expert guidance of Peter.
This was a great food experience! We tasted lots of great dishes and sampled vodka, beer and cider. We also had great conversation and I learned about several traditions.
I would rate this 7/10, but one can't, on a 5-point scale! It was unfortunate that I was the only guest, as this made the experience somewhat different from that intended, I'm sure. However, I was very well hosted. There was plenty of food, but to start with a 3-course meal, then revert to further snacks, seemed a little odd. I enjoyed the meal and the zapiekanka was a very nice street-style snack, but a bit too filling to follow the meal. Sorry, but I don't really enjoy Polish dumplings, the 'pierogi'!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. We're glad you felt well-hosted during your stay! As we’re off-season right now, it tends to attract smaller groups, which can make for a more intimate experience but also shifts the vibe a bit from what we usually offer. We truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility with that. I also hear you on the meal timing. Our goal is to provide a variety of flavors, but we’ll take your feedback into consideration!
This was an amazing food tour! Our tour guide, Peter, was fantastic! He was knowledgeable about both Krakow and the dishes we were eating. He chose great stops along the tour and was wonderful to chat with.
Great date, my girlfriend and I were delighted. My best experience ever, excellent. Highly recommended, will definitely visit again.
This was an amazing trip and I think the best way to meet other travelers while visiting the city. The coffee to start with was delicious, the guide was very knowledgeable but friendly and entertaining that really brought our group together to have a good time. By the end of the short adventure our group were all friends enjoying drinks at the Eszeweria Bar. I highly recommend this for travelers especially, exploring is much more fun in an enthusiastic group.
I loved the tour, our guide was amazing and showed us the best places. The food was incredible, I especially enjoyed the famous zapiekanki and if you never tried them before, that's a must. Can't wait to visit Krakow again.
The tour was well-organized and took us to some of the best local spots. The highlight for me was the pierogi – they were absolutely delicious, with a variety of fillings that showcased the richness of Polish cuisine. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating stories about Krakow’s culinary history.
