Despite vodka being the national spirit and Poland’s most famous export, so many visitors miss out because they don’t know what they’re looking for or where. Our Polish Vodka Tastings are carefully crafted to make sure that you get not only the perfect introduction to Polish vodka, but also the perfect welcome to Kraków and Poland. The tastings are designed to blend culture, cuisine, history & folklore in a relaxed atmosphere full of funny stories & brilliant vodka. Besides turning you into a little vodka expert, the tips we give out are absolutely PRICELESS and can really help you have the time of your life while visiting Kraków. You can choose between enjoying the vodka in one cosy venue with our Vodka Experience or heading out to explore Kraków's very best vodka bars and cafes on our Kraków Vodka Tour

Itinerary
We kick things off at the 1st bar with a big spread of Polish style tapas snacks. You’ll be sampling two incredible & historic Polish clear vodkas while enjoying a blend of culture, history, folklore and funny stories. We’ll then take you on an adventure through the cobblestone streets of Kraków’s UNESCO World Heritage Old Town to explore the city’s hidden vodka bars and cafes. You’ll step back in time through the doors of a communist era shot bar, explore one of Europe’s only home-made flavoured vodka cafes and get cosy in a hole-in-the wall candlelit vodka bar boasting more than one-hundred varieties. The flavoured vodkas really are mind-blowingly good & there's more than 200 varieties stocked by the bars on the tour. At the end of the tour we'll be stopping off to check out the city’s best Pierogi, perfect to soak up all the vodka & make sure you're not too wobbly on your feet :) It's all set in a laid back, sociable, atmosphere & run by our amazing friendly local guides.

The guided vodka tasting tour was incredible and extremely well-organized from start to finish. I loved that the tour wasn't just about drinking, but also gave us the perfect opportunity to enjoy a lovely walk around the main square and take in the surroundings. The variety of vodkas we tried was impressive, and you can truly feel the authenticity of the whole experience. But the absolute highlight of the tour was our guide, Paulina. I cannot thank her enough! She was a fantastic guide, so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and highly attentive to everyone in the group. She made the tasting so much fun and engaging. If you are looking for an authentic and well-paced tour, don't hesitate. Highly recommended!
A great tour - Sylwia was a great guide with fluent level English and a great sense of humour. An opportunity to visit some places that you wouldnt find without the tour and some great food and drinks along the way. One of the best food and drinks tours i have done
We had an awesome time at our sit in vodka tasting experience! The hosts were super knowledgable and friendly and we all had a super fun time. The vodkas all tasted great and was great to have some local snacks with it. They also helped me rearrange my booking last minute and were super professional which was awesome. Would definitely recommend!
Paulina and Maria were great. Gave us a good history breakdown and got us enough vodka that we went back to one of the stops with the rest of the group! Super fun! Even has a food stop!
Great tasting experience, entertaining and tasty!
One of the best tours I’ve ever been on! Michal was an incredible guide, providing interesting cultural and historical tidbits along the way while being a gracious host and a good time! Loved the diversity of vodkas we were able to try and had some amazing charcuterie and pierogis along the way as well! Would def do this tour again when in Krakow and it’s a must-do for anyone that can!
I went on the vodka tour as part of a Stag-do. Would highly recommend it - one of the highlights of both times I have visited Krakow and especially recommended as part of a Stag-do. A combination of trying different Vodkas, food, information about vodka and it's connection to poland and ending the tour walking through the city. The girl who took the tour was knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend!
Paulina was welcoming and vivacious throughout. We started at MyPub Bracka. We found out most of us shared a palette with the favourite vodka of the Rolling Stones . Also starter snacks of kielbasa , kabanos, cheeses and bread yum ! Then onto artisan liqueur vodka place - my favourite was apple one … but a weird and wonderful selection. Then a stop at a pierogi ( polish dumpling ) restaurant - v trad . I found the 72% vodka at our next stop challenging but an experience . After that a cherry vodka at our penultimate stop seemed like non alcoholic pop as did the lemon vodka at our last venue. Highly recommend 👍🏻
The vodka tour was definitely the highlight of our trip to Krakow! We had such a fun evening and our guide Wotjek was so friendly and informative. We really enjoyed trying all of the different vodkas at a great range of bars and venues with food stops to keep us fuelled along the way. Highly recommend!!
Price and experience was amazing, Tosha was an amazing tour guide and explained the history and answered our questions all about Poland and vodka Would highly recommend the tour and Tosha
