Description
Join a unique walking experience in Kraków combining authentic Polish cuisine with history, culture, and local stories. Designed for curious travelers eager to taste traditional food while discovering the city beyond its dishes.
We begin in the heart of the Old Town, around Plac Mariacki and the Main Market Square. From the very start, guests are immersed in Kraków’s atmosphere, with views of St. Mary’s Basilica, the Cloth Hall, and the lively square. Here we introduce the city’s history and set the stage for our culinary journey.
Along the way, we visit carefully selected food spots in the Old Town and later in Kazimierz. Each stop offers a different taste of Kraków – from street food classics and traditional dishes to sweets and regional specialties. Guests choose what they want to try at each location; there is no obligation to buy everything.
This tour is not only about food. We also explore Kraków’s history and culture, walking from the Main Market Square through the Old Town and across to Kazimierz, learning about its Jewish heritage, visiting the Old Synagogue (free on Mondays), and discovering hidden courtyards and local stories along the way.
We finish in Kazimierz, in a local bar with traditional Polish food and drinks in a relaxed, authentic atmosphere – the perfect ending to a cultural and culinary journey.
A perfect mix of food tasting, cultural discovery, and historical storytelling.

Guiding since 2026I am a culinary and historical tour guide in Kraków since 2023, as well as an English teacher since 2017. I am passionate about traveling, discovering new cultures, and sharing stories that connect food, language, and history.
My favorite destinations include the Canary Islands and Italy, especially for their unique cuisine, landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. I particularly enjoy exploring places where tradition and everyday life blend in an authentic way.
I love meeting people from different backgrounds and I believe that learning languages and experiencing local cultures is one of the best ways to truly understand the world. I am always looking for new inspirations, hidden gems, and my next adventure.
