A great evening experience in Krakow - We had an educational and fun evening with Maya on our vodka tour. We were able to taste many different vodkas, clear and flavored and learned a lot about vodka culture in Poland. Maya was a wonderful tour guide and we would heartily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Krakow.

Fun with Vodka - Tasted some very interesting vodkas that I wish I would have purchased to take home to share with friends. I'll have to do that next time when we go back to do again. Anna did a great job keeping the group together and interested.

lovely tour, very informative for the subsequent independent exploration :P - The tour was lovely! It was with a small group, so we all could interact and enjoy the Vodka together. The trip to the Pharmacy was interesting, if nothing else, knowing the large variety available, their history, and also finding similarity with certain other culture/cultural practices was interesting. Natalia made sure we all get the correct recommendations, kept us entertained with lovely facts and anecdotes, and we ended up in a very interesting cafe where they had the mezzanine walls covered with comic strips! The entire trip was lovely and enjoyable, the only complain I would put is "too little medicine to keep me healthy" :D :D :D. Well recommended.

Mag(da)nificent experience! - Would 100% recommend ! If you’re looking for a great time in kraków, look no further! In this tour you will try out 7 different types of vodka spread over some amazing ‘vodka bars’ you otherwise might miss. The vodkas are accompanied by some Polish delicacies that will help to not feel too overwhelmed by the alcohol (trust me you’ll feel it). Our tour guide Magdalena was incredible and her passion for vodka is truly contagious! She made always sure there was an amazing atmosphere in our group throughout the whole experience(besides me and my friends we were joined by a couple -shout out Kate and Gaz from Wales!). If you’re scared because of the price, don’t be! You will definitely not regret it.

There’s more to vodka! - Excellent tour! Learned a lot about vodka and lots of fun! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history and production of vodka. They took us through a step-by-step process of how vodka is made, from the selection of ingredients to the distillation and bottling. We got to taste different types of vodka and learn about the subtle differences in flavor profiles. It was a truly immersive experience that left us with a newfound appreciation for this iconic spirit.

Go for it! - The vodka tour was amazing. I am not a fan of vodka but this tour changed my view towards polish vodka - we stopped at local vodka shops/boutiques. The guide Chris was super good, he made the tour informative and entertaining.

Knowledge of vodka has increased. - Natalia was a great host and provided lots of fun information. Venues were very different so it kept the evening flowing. Now know vodka is not just a drink to add a mixer to.
