Absolutely fantastic experience! Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable for our trip evening of 2nd. We had lots of laughs and learned loads. Our 2nd trip to Nova Huta with crazy guides and both were brilliant but different. We would recommend going again even if you’ve been before. Best Krakow experience

Mathieu was an amazing guide. Picked us up in his fabulous old Lada and gave us an incredible tour of the communist area of Nova Huta. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide.

My friends and I all agreed this was the highlight of our long weekend in Krakow. Our guide Matt was fantastic. It was great exploring a part of the city we would never have otherwise visited and the green Soviet LADA added a whole extra dimension to the tour

Great overview of the history of Nowa Huta and a fun car to make it more interesting. The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone seeking to understand the role of communism in European history.

Literally one of the best experiences of my life ! Took my two teen boys 14 & 15 and had sooo much fun and learnt a looot. This tour is worth every penny and Crazy Tom is absolutely brilliant. Teens talk about it weeks on.

My 2 friends and I decided to do the 1.5 hour communism tour last minute whilst we were in Krakow recently as something alternative to do. We were picked up at accommodation exactly at the agreed time and what fun we had. Maciek was really informative and made the whole experience enjoyable. It was like going back in time, folding ourselves into the vintage Trabant for the journey. Completely different experience to being in down-town Krakow. Would highly recommend you give this alternative tour a go if you have time.

Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The route and stops were sufficient to understand and see samples of the entire community. Overall a very worthwhile tour.

I wish there were more than five stars so that I could rate this tour even more. My guide was incredible! He never minded all of my questions, and half the time I didn’t even have to ask because he was so informative. Everyone in the neighborhood knew him and it just added to the appeal of the small area that we looked at. I loved riding in the car and it was a good feeling as if I were there during that time but knowing thank goodness I’m not!!

The best tour! Cornelia had lots of information, and she cheerfully answered all our questions. The car was fun to ride around in, and I now know I like Soviet soda!
