Traditional Polish Food Tour in Krakow Old Town
Description
No visit to Kraków can be considered complete without experiencing the wealth of local cuisine flavours! Join us for a 3-hour culinary stroll with an experienced local guide and Polish cuisine connoisseur. On this tour, we will taste more than 10 of the most delicious and traditional Polish dishes and snacks. Some of them are known all over the country (the famous pierogi), but others, such as the obwarzanek (a type of pretzel) available exclusively in Kraków! The guide introduces us to several local restaurants, patisseries, and cafes so that we can enjoy excellent food in a small group and learn about Polish traditions or customs connected with the preparation and consumption of the tasted dishes. Polish culinary culture is, of course, not just about food – the tour includes various types of high-quality Polish vodkas tasting. The tour takes place in Krakow's Old Town, and in its course, the guide also tells us about the most beautiful landmarks we pass along the tour route.

We loved this food tour with Aleksandra so much! All of the stops were great and we learned a lot about the history of the food and even how it overlaps with Polish politics! This tour is worth every penny!!

Tomasz was our guide for our food tour, but yet so much more. He thoroughly engaged us with geographical and cultural details. They were invaluable and added to the enjoyable memories of our time in Krakow. The food was exemplary of Polish cuisine with generous portions. You won't leave hungry.

This is a great tour with excellent food. Can’t go wrong with this booking! Very knowledgeable and upbeat.
Thank you very much!
We were just looking for a fun day after two emotional filled days prior. Aleksandra made it a highlight of our trip. She had so much history to share we could not have been more pleased.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m very happy to hear that Aleksandra made this tour such a special part of your trip 😊 I’ll be sure to pass your lovely feedback on to her. Sometimes after more emotional visits, a lighter day with good stories and local history is exactly what is needed. Thank you again for joining us!
Our tour guide was so much fun and had so much knowledge! She helped us try all the traditional foods which is exactly what we were looking for. She had such a personality and we laughed the whole time we were together.
Thank you so much for joining us and for this great tour! I'm really happy that you enjoyed your time with Magdalena. Hope to see you again in Kraków!
Aleksandra was an amazing host for this tour! She was welcoming, friendly & knowledgeable! We learned so much about Polish food, culture, history & more! The food and drink were excellent & 5 hours later, we are still full! We highly recommend her and this tour!
Thank you very much for this great review! See you next time in Kraków!
Our guide, Aleksandra, was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. All of the food was amazing and set the bar high for the rest of my Poland trip.
Thank you very much for joining our tour and leaving this very positive feedback!
We loved our guide (Karolina?) and this tour! We stopped for a famous Krakow street food similar to a bagel, then headed to a highly rated restaurant (Morskie Oko) where we had Zurek soup, baked cheese, three kinds of pierogi, and enormous potato pancakes with a couple types of toppings. Then we walked to a cake store for a cream dessert ( Papal Cream Cake) that was out of this world. And we finished up at a bar with two kinds of vodka. There were only four in our group so we all had all of our questions answered and interesting background information presented. Our guide was friendly and personable and extremely knowledgeable about foods and traditions. Great experience- highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere of the tour - sounds like a perfect tasting experience! Karolina will be very pleased to hear your kind words, I’ll be sure to pass them on. Thank you again for joining and for the recommendation!
