Food & Cooking Tours in Krakow

This is no doubt the best way to experience traditional Polish food. Kamila and George are both exceptional and very informative guides.

I had such an amazing experience at Marta's home! She was so welcoming and kind and was willing to share all about what to expect for the evening. The other people that were apart of the dinner were just as friendly and welcomed me with open arms. Upon walking into Marta's home, everything was absolutely beautiful in her kitchen and she was happy to share all of the details about the interior from what we could see. On top of all of that, all of the food Marta made was to die for and it allowed me to try foods that I normally wouldn't have eaten! This is definitely a great way to meet a local and learn more about Krakow and Poland in general!

Brilliant tour - gave us an insight to Krakow that we wouldn't have got any other way. Luckily we were the only ones on the tour - it was very personalised.
Saw much of the old Krakow that is on the road less troden that few other tourtists would experience. Gingerbread vodka and dumbling jars one of the many indellible memories. thanks so much, we're still talking about the day some weeks later.

Highly professional from start to end. Really an excellent way to get a good feel for local cuisine, and an intro to a cool neighbourhood. Aside from great guide(s) and a fairly small group, the slected venues were top notch with excellent service. Seemed to get the balance between authenticity and quality just right. Even the pace was just right. Nice follow up too. Would definitely recommend for all.

Really enjoyed this. We chose the Vodka tour as we have a mild interest in Vodka enough to warrant the tour.
We were lucky enough to meet Ania who we can't thank enough. It was myself and husband and we thought just the two of us on the tour along might make the evening conversation strained however Ania not only spent her time chatting about the various types of Vodka but also went into extensive detail on each meal that accompanied the Vodka and also gave us an insight into Polish life, family and traditions. We got so much out of the tour it acted nicely as a snippet of Poland in general.

The evening started in a traditional bar where we were served two shots and food. We then moved onto a really unusual shop / bar whereby there were over 60 types of flavoured Vodka to choose from and we were able to try a few. Favourite being Granny Vodka (cherry) and dare I say it Pepper flavoured. We fell in love with the concept of the store and it helped us appreciate the many types and traditions behind it. Next we went to another traditional bar and was served more food - enough to feel full! All traditional polish dishes. Finally we moved onto a similar concept to a Speakeasy bar that was very 'in fashion' and were treated to a choice of coctails to finish the night off.

In total we tried over eight different vodkas and five food types.

This for me was a highlight of the trip and is a must for anyone new to Poland wanting to experience the culture.

First class service, food and drink throughout!

I made pierogis with Marta during my visit to Krakow. She is a great teacher and we made four different types of pierogis including tiny mushroom pierogis for her porcini based borscht and a dessert pierogi with apples and smoked plums topped with salted Caramel and a dollop of sour cream. Several takeaways - real pierogies have thin skins not thick ones like the ones you buy at the grocery store in the US, the filling need not be bland and additions like tarragon with the mushroom, mint with the potato and lemon zest with the spinach transform. And finally, Marta made me realize how even though I eat healthy and local she is much closer to the sources of her food as she makes her cottage cheese, grows and forages and evening makes fruit vodka. Food for thought too.

A big part when traveling is the oportunity to try local food. Knowlegde of what to eat and drink without getting caught in the tourist traps is not always easy to catch though.
This tour really give a very good and interesting view, and fast, of Krakows (and Polands) food culture.
It was a very nice, and good, evening for me and my friends and the guides did a very good job when teaching us about the vidden food gems in Krakow. I definetly can recommend this tour to anyone interested in trying and learni g ord about the food scene in Krakow. Singel traveleres as well as couples or friends. You will for sure get and interesting and fun evening and You will. Ot go home hungry!

This food tour was definitely a highlight of my Krakow trip. It exposed me to different Polish dishes, from the traditional to the modern. It started off in Kazimierz and ended up in a neighborhood a little on the outskirts of the Planty. The tour guide Maurycy was very knowledgable and personable. He made the tour very enjoyable and provided a good insight into Polish culture as well. There is quite a bit of walking and towards the end the pacing of the restaurants are little rushed. The next restaurant was literally across the street so there was no time to digest the previous restaurant's food, but this is probably a minor critique to a great food tour.

The Delicious Poland Food Tour was among the highlights of my trip to Poland. Kamila was an excellent and knowledgable guide who is clearly very passionate about her work and had put in a lot of effort to identify restaurants that offered great examples of the foods she wanted to highlight and brought pictures and stories about other foods and Polish culture. I definitely tried foods and restaurants that I wouldn't have tried without her guidance (like beetroot soup), and I loved all of it! It was particularly helpful as a solo traveler --- I would not have been able to try so many foods on my own. Highly recommend this tour!

We had an amazing time cooking with Marta, she is such a lovely person, has experienced so much and is so open to share these experiences. Her cozy kitchen is the perfect place to gather around food and art. Some of the people who signed up for the workshop did not make it, so we ended up having a private pierogi lesson with Marta. The recipes were delicious, we prepared three types of pierogi and ended our feast with a lovely sharlotka (apple cake).

Thank you so much Marta for your hospitality, kindness and fantastic food. We will surely be back again!

Tania & Regula

We visited Krakow on a team-building off-site. Kamilla was our guide and she was wonderful, patient and so knowledgeable! She had everything set up for us so that when we arrived to each place we had a designated spot. All the food was delicious and it truly felt like she was taking us to traditional polish spots, and not tourist traps. They honestly felt like some of her favorite places to go in her spare time. The food variety was lovely, they even made adjustments for our vegetarian colleague. Overall it was really great, worth the money and I would highly recommend!

My wife and I joined this tour as this was our first time in Poland. We were really impressed with how well Kamila and George had prepared the route, the restaurants chosen, the food and drink, and the huge amount of information they provided. Very nice friendly couple, who are passionate about food, Krakow, and in offering a great tour for their guests. It was a fun and educational time with them, with a large variety of food, Polish Vodka, excellent craft beers, and we left with lots of information and very full stomachs. Very good value and highly recommended.

Kamila and George have created a wonderful food tour that is unique and authentic! The foods were all hand made and delicious and the experience of walking around Krakow and learning about the neighborhood and some of the buildings was a joy! We enjoyed so many different foods like pirogies and soups and several other types of food! Be sure to let Kamila know beforehand if you have food allergies or extreme dislike of a particular food and she and George will try to accommodate. If I come back to this beautiful city, I will definitely sign up for this tour again!

This is a great tour to do at the beginning of your trip so you can get some insight into the history and influences of Polish cuisine. Kamila and Göksel were great guides, they were very organised and prepared - Göksel was always one step ahead of us to ensure that the next place was ready for us so as soon as we were seated, we were introduced to another dish! Kamila was full of interesting information about not only Polish cuisine but Krakow life in general. Thank you Kamila and Göksel for having the three of us, we were so full we rolled all the way home!

If, like me, you'd sometimes like someone to just pick your food for you to get you away from your comfort zone then this tour is for you. I can safely say that, if given a menu at each venue, I probably wouldn't have picked any of the food provided for us. And what a shame that would have been! Really nice traditional Polish food interspaced with some history. This tour was recommended to us and we would likewise recommend it. Camilla was a great hostess ably supported by George. Definitely worth at least a consideration if you are in Krakow for a few days.

I really enjoyed the tour and if I had stayed longer in Krakow I would have done another. Kamila and George are amazing hosts and know the local cuisine and food culture well. We tried a range of dishes and drinks over the course of the evening which were tasty (even the vodka went down better than I first thought) and most I had not tried before. It was interesting to learn about the history of the dishes and Polish traditions. I recommend doing this tour at the start of your stay in Krakow as you learn where some of the best places to eat are.

I highly recommend the Krakow food tour with Kamila & Göksel. They are a delightful couple with a passion for sharing their city with people one plate and glass at a time. The tour is full of excellent food and drink, plus the history of the Kazimierz area. You will roll away feeling like you spent the evening with good friends. Bonus is that you get lots of other tips for places to try on your own. They even provided me with tips on Wroclaw as they didn't have a tour booked for when I was going there. They are very kind. Thanks again.

Kamilla hosted the tour and she was fantastic. She has selected some places within the city that she likes and will walk you round, providing you with a fantastic amount of info and insight. You start with some pierogis and move on to some soups and vodka and other delicacies. You will be stuffed by the end and have got a really history of some of the food and tried some delicious food and you'll have found some great places to go back to visit. She'll also email you on a recipe for some of the dishes. Well worth the money.
