don’t be a tourist,
be an explorer

A free walking tour has no fixed ticket price. You book your place, join the walk and, at the end, decide how much the experience was worth to you. Your contribution goes directly to the guide and helps us continue sharing Krakow’s stories with visitors from around the world.

Yes, please book your place in advance. Knowing how many guests to expect helps us manage the size of the group, arrange the right number of guides and provide a better experience for everyone. Your reservation is very important and genuinely helpful to us.

Please check the forecast before the tour and wear suitable clothing and comfortable shoes. Only exceptionally severe or unsafe weather may require us to change or cancel a tour.

Our main form of payment is cash. We accept Polish złoty as well as foreign currencies. Our guides do not carry card terminals.

We love dogs—and all animals—so their company is always a pleasure!

However, the Old Town & Wawel Tour finishes on Wawel Hill, where animals are not permitted, except certified assistance dogs.

There is no such restriction on the Jewish Quarter & Former Ghetto Tour, so your dog or cat can accompany you throughout the walk.

Most of our free walking tours last approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. The exact duration and route are shown on each tour page. The walks include regular stops along the way, but comfortable shoes are strongly recommended.

Our regular free walking tours are offered mainly in English and Spanish. Available languages and departure times may vary, so please check the booking calendar and make sure you select the correct language when reserving your place.

Families with children are welcome. Please remember that the tours last approximately 2 to 2.5 hours and involve walking.

The Jewish Quarter & Former Ghetto Tour also covers the history of World War II and the Holocaust, so some of its stories may be difficult for younger children. Parents can decide whether the subject matter is suitable for them.

Our tours take place mainly outdoors, but Krakow’s historic streets include cobblestones, uneven surfaces, kerbs and occasional slopes. If you use a wheelchair, have limited mobility or are joining us with a pushchair, please contact us before booking. We will help you choose the most suitable route and explain any potentially difficult parts.
