What is a Semi-Private Tour?
This category of tours falls between small group and private tours in terms of group size, typically accommodating around 6 to 10 people. Semi-private tours offer a more personalized experience than standard small group tours while still allowing for interaction with other participants. With fewer travelers than larger group tours, semi-private tours create a more intimate atmosphere, fostering closer connections with both the guide and fellow travelers.
What if it's raining?
The tour will not be canceled in case of light rain. Please check the weather forecast and wear appropriate clothing or bring an umbrella. Your guide may provide disposable waterproof garments upon request.
Is this tour suitable for children?
The tour is totally suitable for older children. However, if you are traveling with younger children, please consider their ability to sustain the tour length.
What to bring for the tour?
Please check the weather forecast and wear weather-appropriate clothing!
Can I cancel the tour after I booked it?
You can cancel the tour for a full refund up to 48 hours before the scheduled time. However, you will be liable to pay the full amount if you cancel less than 48 hours before the tour.
Is this tour suitable for vegetarians?
While Polish cuisine is traditionally quite meat-heavy, some delicious, authentic vegetarian options could be provided if you notify the guide in advance. Please note on the booking form if you have dietary restrictions or allergies.

    Culinary Highlight of Our Trip!
    Seriously, don't eat anything before this! This food tour was the best way to discover Krakow's culinary scene. The selection of food was generous and diverse, showcasing the heart of Polish tradition. Our guide was funny, informative, and perfectly paced the entire experience. It was more than a tour; it was a feast and a cultural lesson wrapped into one. Highly, highly recommend.
