The Communist tour was part of a four day trip to Krakow, and was one of the highlights. Marieck our guide and driver was very enthusiastic and knowledgable. Driving around in an old Trabant, learning about life under communism was so interesting and left us wanting to learn more. The lunch at the milk bar was tasty and different. Would definitely recommend this tour and the guides. Thank you for an interesting and enjoyable morning.

Description
Our Communism Tour was featured in BBC's 'Palin's New Europe' series and covered by nearly all Polish and many international TVs and newspapers.
On this 3-hour tour you’ll travel in a vintage Trabant automobile to Krakow's pre-planned socialist district of Nowa Huta, complete with steelworks and houses built in the Soviet realist style.
This unique project was meant to be a model communist city, but later came to be one of the centres of revolution and resistance within Poland.
During the tour you’ll travel back in time to experience the wonders of this one-of-a-kind district. Not only will you discover what life was like under communism, you’ll hear all sorts of interesting stories. Your laidback local guide will certainly bring the good old days back to life!
Walking around the district, drinks in an old-fashioned restaurant, a quick visit to a local 1950s shop with traditional tacky souvenirs, truly socialist interior design, and a small exhibition of real-life Communist artefacts are all part of the 'Communism Tour.'
