This tour was perfect, from start to end. Maria was ready and waiting for us at the agreed location and time. From there we were whisked to Nowa Huta, the Jewish Quarter, and Old Town. Maria was absolutely incredible. It felt like we were spending the day w a friend. She was so easy to talk with and overflowing with information. From her actions to her words, she really helped us understand and connect with the history of Krakow. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
