We saw many things that we wouldn't have seen (or noticed) had we done it on our own. The legend of the 2 towers (and brothers) of St. Mary's and the knife is just one of many examples. We also learned the reason why the trumpeter abruptly stops playing his bugle call (Hejnał Mariacki) every hour. We met Victoria and the rest of the group (about 25 people) near the Barbican. Just look for the yellow umbrella with their logo. It initially rained in the beginning, but it cleared up as we were on our way through Old Town. There is so much history in Kraków. This tour gave us insight into the most important museums to visit as well as the architecture surrounding us. There was the Ironman competition obstacle that we had to overcome when approaching the castle. She quickly & professionally navigated our way through it without any interruption to the tour. It ended up being a sunny day once we reached the castle walls. The tour of the castle grounds was the highlight with its beautiful gardens. We will choose Walkative again in the future. They have walking tours in many European cities. I first learned about it through a Yelp friend's review of her Barcelona tour. Thanks Helene! Knowing what I know now, I wish we had booked one for Plaszow and the Jewish Quarter. They offer so many different tours. It's absolutely worth it! On that note, make sure you tip your guide well. They are the ones that make this experience so special. They are a wealth of knowledge. I very highly recommend these tours!

I've forgotten things while traveling - it unfortunately happens - but putting the blame on a company if it never turns up is just ridiculous. I did the Auschwitz day tour, and the van was comfortable, our travel guide was friendly and spoke English well, and we arrived/departed on schedule. That's just about all you need on such a tour! I had originally looked into taking trains and then walking a bunch to save money on this trip, and I'm glad I ended up spending a bit more to join a group tour. Also...this is important as you must have booked your ticket to the sites in advance if you are a solo traveler! I had done so, but it seemed like you got less time by doing it that way, and Auschwitz/Birkenau are places you just must spend ample time at.

My friend in England found this tour online and so we booked a reservation…read more The tour starts promptly at 5 in front of St Mary's Basilica. Do not be late! There are two guides: Dominique & a Turkish gentleman who's name I didn't catch. They aren't always both on the tour, sometimes one goes ahead to the next establishment. This was very interesting in that the tour guides had a plethora of information to share about the making of vodka (information overload). However, one of the guides does not drink which is odd given he is running a vodka tour. And the guides only knew about Polish vodkas, they had no idea about vodkas from around the world and had never heard of Tito's! I know Tito's isn't distributed or sold everywhere in the world but given their market share in the vodka industry, I would expect the guides to be familiar with other brands. We went to 4 different establishments, we walked to each one so wear comfortable shoes. The first place was kind of an old style Polish pub/restaurant where the waitresses wore costumes and the decorations were dated. We tried a potato based vodka and the bison grass vodka. The food served here was excellent!! Especially the cabbage dish. I would eat something small before the tour but not a big meal as you will want to try everything. They claim that if you eat fatty food in Poland, you won't get drunk while sipping vodka. But by mid tour you will have a buzz and I have a high tolerance. Most of this vodka is pure so 96% proof and above! The second place was a stand up bar that was very small but it was various flavors of vodka. Here you can buy vodka to take home, they will bubble wrap to& package the bottles for flight. Try the chocolate vodka! The tour guides will likely serve quince & elderflower; they will tell you the Chocolate is more of a liquor but it is so well made over there!! The third place we went to was another one of those old timey bars where the decorations are dated. Here we dined on bread and herring with onion but we tried the purest form of vodka. This is the only time we did a shot to drink it fast. It was so good!! Lastly, we ended up at a Jewish prayer room turned pub that was really cool! The vodka here was the best on the tour. Our group ordered about 5 rounds, we couldn't stop!! This place had wifi too.
