“Navia was an absolutely brilliant guide and showed us such interesting places that we would otherwise have missed! The creepy stories really were creepy and the most recent (I won’t spoil it for others) really got us scared! We had laughs and a really memorable experience. It’s not too much walking, lots of breaks so you don’t need to be really fit. I think the longest walk was only 5 minutes or so.”

“A great way to find out about the little hidden myths and legends that make up Krakow's history. I particularly enjoyed the pointing out of hidden details (the hanging knife hidden in the market square, for example) that I would have otherwise missed or not paid attention to. I'd also recommend this tour towards the beginning of your Krakow trip as there are so many places of interest that were pointed out (museums I didn't know existed, an amber vodka bar, and a separate entrance to the St Mary's Cathedral). A big shout out to the tour guide who directed our group; very informative with a great sense of humour.”
