Review of Crazy Guides’ private Nowa Huta tour in Krakow, with a Trabant ride, Cold War bunker, milk bar, Polish lunch, and practical tips.

Ride a vintage Trabant through Krakow’s Nowa Huta, visit a former steelworks HQ, eat Polish comfort food, and toast the Communist era.
“We were greeted by our guide in the yellow trabant shown. It certainly drew a lot of attention. travelling to Nowa Huta we were given an overview of the city plan from the central square. We visited the steelworks, then on to the most glamorous '50s style restaurant for a quick shot of vodka and a chat over some old photos. We later visited a retro apartment unchanged from the era. There we were shown a propaganda film, followed by more vodka!! Then stopping for a lunch of typical polish food. The food here is basic but really interesting and hearty. We were told you could feed an entire family…”
Explore Nowa Huta’s communist architecture, worker resistance, and Catholic heritage on a thoughtful 150-minute English walking tour from Krakow.
“One of the best tours! You will learn about Poland’s history after World War II, which is fascinating. Our guide, Ania (I may have mispronounced her name), was excellent! She was very detailed and passionate about the history.”
Pick a city, or pick a kind of day.
