Thank you so much for your professionalism, kindness and love of your business!!! I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know Krakow in a pleasant and soulful atmosphere.
The tour was interesting. A lot of information about Krakow's history. Valuable tips on how to spend your remaining days.
When they arrived in Kraków, they didn't know where to start exploring the old city. The tour with Tatiana opened up many opportunities and showed us a lot of interesting places. We wish everyone to get acquainted with such a guide and discover new things in Krakow.
Were in May 2026 in Krakow. Walked through the city with Tatiana - 3 hours walking tour. At a very quiet, pleasant pace that even suited a 78-year-old Mom. We loved it. Everything is educational and very political.correct ))) We recommend it.
Great tour! A lot of learning. Tatiana is a great tour guide. I tried very hard! Helped with a personal question. Leonid Perlin
On this cold, sunny day in November, I spent three wonderful hours with Tatiana. Rich in interesting and intelligently chosen information, the storytelling, the kindness and the manner of communication, is exactly what we expect from a guide in a new country for us. Tatiana is such a tour guide - who knows and loves the country and culture, and is ready to give useful advice on further “exploration” of Krakow. My heartfelt recommendation!
