Joanna took us on a wonderful bespoke tour over two days. The second was a Private Walking Tour with Schindler's Factory for which she stood in line for the tickets in advance of our arrival. We took most of it in but I would recommend watching some of the films which cover the history of Krakow such as Schindler's List and The Pianist (many others too) as she is a bit of a film buff and the references were lost on my wife. We could not have covered half the area or seen half the sights without her informally presented local knowledge. A week later I am only just remembering much of the details of our visit. We did follow up some of the areas we visited on our last day. Our only slight criticism is that even after more than two hours in Oscar Schindler's Enamel Factory my wife felt that she needed to know more about everything. She refuses to watch war films on the topic and likes the minutia of the detail. Without Joanna we would not have even got in so we will be forever grateful. Her tour of the Dragon's Den and Wawel Castle set us up for our final free day of sightseeing
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled Joanna made your tours memorable and helped you see Krakow in such detail.
We had a great day with our tour guide Joanna. She was a fountain of knowledge of the history of Poland. We learned so much from her which gave us a much greater appreciation of the many important historic sites we visited in Krakow. I would highly recommend this tour as early on as possible when visiting Krakow. You will be delighted!
This is a must do when visiting Kraków. Anna and Tom picked us up very friendly very professional easy to talk to. Took us on an extensive journey through the history of Kraków. We visited the Jewish quarter synagogues Jewish cemetery, we went to the Jewish ghetto, Schindler‘s factory and amazing, and it would not have been the same without Anna. Her knowledge was so extensive. We went to the castle churches the main square. Such an enjoyable day I feel we saw the best of Kraków.
Best trip in Krakau.... Eva and Rafal were frindly and knew a lot about history of World War 2 and Schindler's list.
Great tour experience! The day was fun, extremely well-organized, and provided a thorough overview of the city’s history, geography and current state.
We were very lucky to have Susanna taking us through Krakow . She brought history to life with additional colour and stories especially as we were touring Schindler’s factory. This was one of our favourite tours !
Rafal in the office communicated with us via WhatsApp to make sure we were updated and made sure we maximized our time by suggesting we be picked up at the airport. We were picked up by Tamez. He was excellent. Johana was great and customized our time to make sure we hit the must sees in Krakow. She had great suggestions. In a nutshell this was a 5 star experience.
Thanks a lot for your comment. We are happy that we could show you the best bits of Krakow with our team. For your next stay we’d strongly recommend booking some of our countryside trips.
Excellent communication. Rafa was very responsive and kept us informed. Tamer, our driver was superb. Joana our guide was the best. What’s great team.
Cannot recommend this highly enough. Two things are of note. Firstly, it is worth buying a private tour where you and your guide can make decisions and go at your pace rather than have a large group. Secondly, Zuzanna is brilliant! Her knowledge, empathy with the topics and gentle manner are superb. Our enjoyment of this tour was in large part down to Zuzanna. We are all over sixty and needed to walking to be managed and slow. Zuzanna did a wonderful job of ensuring we went out our pace and time seemed no object. The tour is well constructed, covers so much history and background to Krakow and is thoroughly engrossing. Communication from the company was fabulous too.
Thank you very much for reviewing us here. We really appreciate it!
What fantastic service !! From booking, communication, transport and the knowledge of our wonderful drivers was beyond excellent. We booked for transport from airport to accommodation, excellent. We booked salt mine and Schindler factory also. Ralph our tour guide was beyond excellent. He gave us such knowledge of Krakow and our trip. I would highly recommend and will definitely book with them again when we return to Poland. Well done Prime Tours. !!
Thanks ever so much for your opinion. We look forward to seeing you again here in Krakow as we have more to show you!
