“Here’s a warm, natural, human-tone review you can use: --- We’re currently in Kraków and decided to try an evening spooky tour around the city centre — and it turned out to be such a great choice. Our guide, Thomas, was absolutely fantastic. He struck the perfect balance of being entertaining, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly throughout the whole walk. The stories were fun, atmospheric, and full of quirky bits of history that made the experience feel both spooky and exciting. We found ourselves laughing just as much as we were listening intently. Overall, the tour was great fun and a brilliant way to explore Kraków after dark. Highly recommend!”

“We have been a big fan of Viator tour and have taken many food tours when I go to a new city. This was very disappointing this is the same guide that continues to get bad reviews. I’m not sure why I have somebody who is not Polish , has only lived in the country a short time doing something that would be so personal about their city. Additionally the value was absurd. We spent US$190 for two people and I think the total cost for food for the three restaurants was probably under $20. The service at the restaurant was also poor because they didn’t see us as actual…”

“Marzena is an AMAZING tour guide! She is passionate about the subject matter of the Warsaw Ghetto. She explained the entire history of the Ghetto - as well as the uprising/ resistance so vividly - taking me to specific spots where the Ghetto used to be and showing me pictures of how the areas looked during the war so that I could see what changed and what has stayed the same. This helped take me back in time and understand drama of the history. I feel very lucky to have had Marzena as my tour guide. It was a rainy day - but her energy and her willingness to walk…”
