Description

Enjoy an extended tour of Krakow’s Nowa Huta district in a vintage Trabant automobile – an icon of socialist East Germany.

All customers are equal, but some are more equal than others! If you fancy yourself as more of a communist bigwig than an everyday socialist worker, then this upgraded version of our standard communism tour is for you. Once you’re done sightseeing in the Nowa Huta district, you’ll be treated to lunch at an old-school Polish milk bar.

We'll visit a small exhibition of real-life Communist items in the local 1950s shop on this tour. You'll also get a first-hand taste of the threat of nuclear war in Poland during the 1950s at the original bunker located under the former Lenin Steelworks and enjoy a rare opportunity to sample pickled cucumbers served with a shot of vodka.

Most fun tour of our 7 week Europe trip
for Krakow Communism Deluxe Tour and Nuclear Bunkers
We spent seven weeks touring various cities in eastern Europe, and our tour in Krakow with Crazy Guides was one of the highlights of our trip. We took the Deluxe Communism tour, which goes to the communist community, Nowa Huta, which was established by Stalin as the "model" communist community after WW2. Our guide was Kornelia, and she was terrific. She was both knowledgeable and personable, and she spoke excellent English. Kornelia picked us up at our hotel in a lime green Trabant, which was fun to ride in, and our tour included lunch at one of the few "milk cafes" left from the time that the communists were in power. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, and I would highly recommend taking this tour while you are in Krakow. I promise that this is a tour that you will be telling your friends for months after you return home.

Highlight of our trip to Krakow
for Krakow Communism Deluxe Tour and Nuclear Bunkers
I can't recommend the deluxe trabant tour enough.

Firstly Nova Huta is a really cool and unique place and not something you are going to see in other ex-comunist cities. It is a soviet version of paris rather than a string of tower blocks.

Secondly our tour guide was really great and we absolutely loved driving around in the Trabant. The deluxe tour gave us extra time to explore and my wife fell in love with the Milk Bar pierogis.

Nice, casual and interesting
for Krakow Crazy Communism Tour in Trabant
It was great to have such an easy going and fun guide with great personal insights from his own and his family's experience. Though it would have been nice to get more info on the history side and how it shaped Krakows society today. Otherwise, it was a refreshing interesting tour, far from the traditional touring experience!

tour is off the beaten path!

Great tour. We would never have learned the backstory of Poland’s communist history or visited this area ourselves. Truly interesting and the car is the cherry on top!

Interesting tour exploring life behind the Iron Curtain
for Krakow Crazy Communism Tour in Trabant
I booked this tour for my parents and me (a little bit difficult for an elderly person to squeeze into the back of the Trabant, but not impossible). Our guide Claudia was very informative and personable. We learned a lot about life in Poland under communism; sampled some vodka and received an excellent recommendation for dumplings. The tour gives you an opportunity to see a totally different side to Krakow. I would recommend.
