Join us friendly local vodka guides for a guided adventure through the cobblestone alleyways of Kraków’s beautiful Old Town to explore our favourite vodka bars and cafes and try the World's very best vodka.
You'll be stepping back in time through the doors of a Communist era shot bar, experiencing one of Europe’s only home-made flavoured vodka cafes and getting cosy in a hole-in-the-wall candlelit vodka bar boasting hundreds of vodka varieties.
We'll make sure you don't waste your holiday stuck in tourist traps, upsold on awful foreign vodkas or lost and stressed walking around in the rain.
So many visitors to Kraków spend their trip sitting on lonely tables or never actually genuinely meeting a local. We make sure that doesn't happen!
In Poland, food and vodka go hand in hand! Again this is something that so many people miss out on.
The tips we give out can be the difference between having a good weekend and having an incredible weekend here. Everything you’d want to know about you can feel free to ask away!

So the only real risk with your money is not taking a chance on an experience that could make the best evening of your holiday!
NOTE: For private bookings + stags & hens we have a different offer because we have so many huge upfront costs to private bookings (which we don’t charge any extra for!) and also because stags can be naughty ;) But we include lots of extra goodies for group bookings so don't worry!

Yes, absolutely everything is included so you don't have any hassle in venues dealing with payment in venues or struggling to communicate across the language barrier. You can always buy more vodka if you'd like to though!
Nicely tipsy is the best way to describe our tastings. The vodka samples are paced across the experience. We always want our guests to walk away with a big smile on their faces but not too wobbly on their feet.
Some people are scared of the idea of trying Polish vodka but it is incredibly special and really different to what you would have tried back home.
We always give some straight vodka samples so our guests can understand the unique quality and character involved in Polish vodka but you’ll have lots of incredible flavoured options (like salted caramel!) to choose from if you’d like something easier to drink.
There are of course plenty of stronger options available for the braver souls 😉 and you can always buy extra shots at the end of tour.

Yes! Stags and Hens just require a private booking and we’ll run your very own tasting separate from our standard sessions at no extra charge. Just tick the stag/hen box when booking.
So many people fall in love with Polish vodka after joining our tour. Come and try it and if you don't enjoy your evening in general we'll give your money back!
If you can't drink though then no problem, we have lots of guests join us who don't drink for numerous reasons.
The tour is about so much more than just vodka. They're designed to be lots of fun and very sociable but they’re also about local cuisine, culture, traditions, folklore and funny stories.
If someone is a non-drinker just drop us a message and we'll arrange a special offer for them.
Yep, no problem! Please just include a note in the dietary requirements section when booking.

NOTE: It's absolutely no problem to have a beer or two before the tastings but anyone arriving too drunk to serve will have to be refused service or asked to leave without refund. The same goes for anyone being disrespectful or abusive towards the guides, venue staff or especially other guests and generally ruining the experience for everyone.
