Best Experience in Krakow
Valerie_M, Sep 2023
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Nowa Huta. He shared personal experiences of his family in Communist times to make the history relatable. Hope he sees the former steel factory offices and tunnels turned into a funded museum before the artifacts are removed.
grate and unusual experience

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I am glad that we were able to show you Nowa Huta - our little homeland
Great Guides, great cars

The city is very intersting. You will learn a lot with the tour than you exploring the city by yourself. The guides are very informative. They spent a great deal of time to make the tour works really well (maintaining the directors buildings of steelworks and its shelters) . Please join and support them. The Fiat 126 in the tour was very cold.
Excellent, a must seen in Krakow
REGLA P, Dec 2019
The excursion was excellent, our guide was very kind and patient (I had to traslate for my mother beacuse she doesn't speak English) The visit was totally worth it, we went into shelters from the communist era and where able to enter every room, take pictures and ask questions, there was time for everything. If you are interested in history this is a must seen in Krakow. Special mention to our guide beacuse he was really into his job, I mean the explanations were clear and very detailed and easy to have a conversation with (can't remeber his name right now)
Tour for Communism History Aficionados

This tour is definitely worth it. It is one that is not on the main circuit but it definitely worth reviewing the dark history of Poland's past under Soviet rule. It tells of the struggles that Poland had under the iron hand of Russia and what an evil empire it is. Poles learned to survive under this repressive regime.
Very interesting, great guide, a...
