I would recommend this tour to anyone who visits Krakow. It was my first time in the city and it gave me so much insight into how Poland and its people today have been shaped by WW2 and Communism. The guide Bart was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with so much insight into the history of Krakow. It was almost like being back in school but the classroom was this beautiful city! Bart took us to some really interesting places that we never would’ve normally seen or looked twice at! Can’t recommend this tour more came away with so much appreciation and respect for the Polish people and lots of interesting knowledge about their history.

The tour was very interesting. My wife and I travel around Europe- esp the states since the late 80's that can now can determine their own future. We visited Poland 30 years ago and its current success is self evident. We only hope the on going threat to its borders doesn't materialise.The tour is good in summarising Polands long journey from oppression to enlightenment. Worthwhile.

Our guide Bart is highly knowledgeable, with a degree in history. He mastered the subject and provided detailed and comprehensive information about the entire period of the Second World War and the communist era. It was a lesson in itself; we learned a lot. I recommend the tour with Bart to people who want to receive in-depth and unique content.

This tour is a must if you want to learn about important the war and the sites around the old town that took an important role during the war. The tour guide in an archeologist who is very knowledgeable about the history of the war. The tour is divided by the nazi era and the comunist era. He was so nice and share even personal/family info related to the war. Totally recommended.

World War II and Communism in Krakow Free Walking Tour

If you are in to history then this is a great tour to understand what happened to Poland all throughout the 20th Century. Bart has a deep historical knowledge of this period and he imparted some very interesting stories of smaller, less known stories from the period of Nazi occupation and subsequent communist rule. A great way to give a different insight for your visit to Krakow and Poland generally.

Chris was an amazing guide! Was so knowledgeable and even had personal items from this family which he kindly shared with us! I loved the song he sang at the end, really brought the whole tour together! Thank you Chris for a great day!

World War II and Communism in Krakow Free Walking Tour

Outstanding tour. Chris was excellent, very well-prepared (he is a professional archeologist with deep knowledge in History) and with direct family experience in all the periods. It makes a lot of difference to share direct personal experiences, rather than simple knowledge. I hope this tour to be kept, it is a must for anyone interested in social history. And -without pretending to compare one period with the other- these type of tours should be mandatory for all of us, to keep in mind and in our souls, the terrible effects of tyranny.

World War II and Communism in Krakow Free Walking Tour

Wonderful tour!! Such an interesting and important tour - taking you away from the heart of the tourist areas to learn about the post WW2 history of Krakow. The Nazis, the communists, the wide polish resistance and the fall of communism after the solidarity movement. Bart did an amazing job mixing fact with story, fun with seriousness. Go on this tour!!

One of the best freetours we did, and we have done many tours in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, etc. Chris, besides being a person whose family has lived close to World War II and Communism, has been teaching us things throughout the entire tour that we didn't even know, and also with authentic documents of the reality and what happened during these two periods that marked the history of Krakow and Poland. Highly recommended at 200%, and we hope that this tour continues because both periods are important for the history of the city, country, and the world.

Chris was a great tour guide. He had some authentic first hand documents and books from the times relating to his family members which added an extra special touch to the tour. Would recommend for sure.
