Explore Krakow live with a local

Sessions run live, not as a recording: you join at a time in your own time zone, and the guide follows whatever you want to see or ask about. Kazimierz is worth asking about: the historic Jewish quarter, now full of bars, galleries and street food.

Every date has a minimum group size: if it does not fill up, it is cancelled and you are refunded in full automatically. Small groups, real answers, no script.

What if I lose connection partway through?
