What? You haven't tried Polish food? It may not be as famous as some other country's cuisines (we're looking at you Italy!) but it's just as delicious. Join this Krakow private tour to get an inside guide to cooking Polish food in the home of a local home cook.
At the beginning of your tour, you will visit a local farmers' market which is located off the beaten path, where you will have a chance to learn some Polish as you shop, which provides a great opportunity to interact with local vendors and respect their language and traditions.
Your tour also supports local vendors who wouldn't have access to tourists without Urban Adventures. In addition, your tour promotes regional products like oscypek (a local sheep's milk cheese produced by the highlanders in the Tatra Mountains) and traditional circle bread from Krakow.
