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

We really enjoyed our Nowa Huta tour. It was interesting and gave us a good look at communist Poland's history, including the architecture and everyday life during that period. We learned quite a bit about this chapter of Polish History. Our guide, Mateus, was excellent. He was well-prepared, shared some personal stories, and answer our questions clearly. His knowledge made the tour more engaging. Overall - definitely recommended.

Phenomenal tour by Marta. 20th Century history, architecture, WW2, urban planning and Polish history, this tour is a gem. An intimate look into a community that began as a socialist city, then developed and changed along with Poland. It remains relevant today.

Marta was the guide for my wife and I for the Nowa Huta tour. This was one of the best tours we have ever taken, Marta brought a personal experience to this area having grown up during the communist era and her stories and perspective made this so memorable for us. Marta brought to life living during that time and the changes that have occurred.

Mateusz was an excellent, engaging, and informative guide. He explained the historical context and intent behind Nowa Huta and how that changed over time. He helped us get a feel for the Communist era by taking us to cafes and shops. And he helped us understand the difficult choices people faced as they navigated a challenging political system. Excellent job—highly recommend!

Mateusz was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, eager to answer questions, and helpful at every turn. He was able to offer background about an area that gave us a deeper understanding of the transitions endured by Polish citizens under control of the Soviets. It was refreshing to hear about the movement that began primarily among Roman Catholics to gain independence under the leadership of John Paul II.

1. Anna was my tour guide and I loved her. I loved hearing her stories: not only about her life in Krakow during the Communist era, but her life in general. She was a lady I would gladly sit and have a long-evening chat with. 2. That said, I'm not sure the tour is worth the money. I thought I might learn a bit more about socialist realism architecture. Or some more about the workers' protest. 3. Perhaps this tour would be better advertised as, "come have a drink with a Cracovian who lived here during the Communist era and was active in protests." I would sign up for that. In the end, loved the guide as a person but not sure the tour itself was worth the price.

We had a wonderful guide Dominica, who actually lives in Nowa Huta and was able to share her experiences of living there. The urban planning by the Polish Communist party was exceptional and they made sure people felt that they had a good life by enjoying their surroundings with wide open spaces, plenty of green areas, a beautiful lake and all self contained with the factory that had a beautiful facade and there were shops, restaurants, bars, schools, and lots of playground areas and even had their own tanks. Dominica was very knowledgeable about the whole, what & why the area was built and how it changed after the communist era to the family friendly community today. We asked many questions and she always ready with an answer or to engage in a conversation even if it was slightly off topic .. highly recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful time & learned so much about the history of this beautiful city. Mateusz Tomaszczyk was very knowledgeable & fun to be with. I would recommend this tour & guide to anyone visiting Poland!!!

It does require some walking. But the ground is level, the guide adjusts his/her pace to your comfort and there's lots to look at. Guide is very k knowledgeable about the history of the community AND how it continues to function today. Opportunity for coffee and a bite to eat. Lovely produce market the day I was there.The Easy, comfortable tram ride back to where ver you want to be in Krakow. My guide, Marta, was a superior guide in all respects.

Easily the most enjoyable and educational experience of my entire week in lovely Krakow. My visit in January was during the lowest of the low season in the city and I was doubtful that this tour would even be on offer. But Tomacz at KUT was able to make it happen even if for just this one solitary traveler! I was delighted to be accompanied by tour guide Marta, a Krakow native who grew up in the Nowa Huta neighborhood and brought such amazing insights to our time together. I came away with a true connection to the history and culture of this fascinating neighborhood - which would never have been possible had I just visited Nowa Huta on my own. Thank you, Marta and Tomacz!
