クラクフ発ノワ・フータツアー：共産主義都市、ウォッカ＆ザピエカンカ

My wife and I truly loved our tour with Mateusz Tomaszczyk from Krakow Urban Tours. We wanted to learn more about Nowa Huta and that era of Poland’s history, and time zipped by from the moment Mateusz met us until the tour ended. He shared insights and personal anecdotes that we would not have gained exploring the area on our own, and the tour felt like a conversation while walking with a friend (including our many questions on unrelated topics). Highly recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed our Nova Huta tour with Mateusz Tomaszczyk! We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to better understand the layered history of Krakow.

Totally brilliant tour. Mattheusz was a really smart, thoughtful guide - it’s a fascinating story, one I really recommend.

Mateusz “Matthew” Tomaszczyk provided a wonderful tour of Nowa Huta. His knowledge of the district is remarkable, and his disposition most-appealing. Unlike some guides, Matthew speaks English very clearly so there was never a struggle to understand him. The pace of his presentation and of our movement through the district was spot-on. We feel that all tourists will be fully satisfied with Matthew as their guide.

Mateusz guided my husband and I on such an enjoyable walking tour of Nowa Huta! We met up and took the train there with him from Krakow, and immediately started learning more of this part of Poland’s history. I appreciate having seen the few informative photos Mateusz showed us along the way. He is very personable and easygoing, and kept us on track. Thank you, Mateusz! We recently returned from our trip, and your tour was a highlight of our time in Poland.

Mateusz was a great guide. We learned a lot more about Nowa Huta than we would have if we wandered the neighborhood on our own. He showed us the different architectural styles from social realism to modernism. We also discussed the resistance in Nowa Huta to the authorities tearing down a cross in the neighborhood. He showed us the monument that was erected in the area. We ended our tour at the church that Pope John-Paul II (then cardinal) had built in the neighborhood. He showed us the stones on the exterior of the building that were donated by ordinary people who brought back the stones from out of the area. These were just two of the examples of details that Mateusz showed us. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Our guide Mateusz did a wonderful job explaining the history behind Nowa Huta and what it was like for the average person to live under communism in Poland. Mateusz was very knowledgeable and took us to many important sites. I highly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in the Cold War or communist era,

Excellent tour of Nowa Huta with a fabulous guide. The tour was a great way to learn more about the Soviet period after WW2 in Poland. Joanna was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating social, religious and political information about the Nowa Huta neighbourhood in Krakow. It was nice to see part of Krakow that is less touristy and has a unique history. My only regret is booking it on a Monday as the museum was closed. Highly recommend Joanna and this very interesting guided-walk!

We had an outstanding tour of Nowa Huta with our Guide Mateusz. His knowledge of the history of this unique town was a great blessing to us. Mateusz shared information about the area before the city was there, then when the city was built, then when people lived in the city. He brought knowledge of culture and history to the subject. I especially appreciate the information about the spiritual nature of the people and their conflict against the Communist government. We ended at the beautiful church of the Ark, which was the highlight of the Christian resistance against the communist dictatorship. For anyone who wants to understand more about communism in Poland, we highly recommend a tour of Nova Huta with Mateusz.
