    Magdalena is amazing.

    From start to finish, this was the most fun cooking class ever. Magdalena is a sweetheart who truly went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience. She gave us the Polish names of the of the foods that we were going to purchase at the market. We had so much fun trying to get the vendors to understand us.everyone was so kind. She gave us a wonderful tour of the food market as we picked out the ingredients for cooking. We were then treated like family in her own home where she served us drinks and appetizers. It felt as through we were visiting a long time friend. We made onion and potatoe perogi. She showed us how to prepare the dough and stuffing and roll them. It was great. She bought special delicious desserts for us and then gave us a container of extra perogies that we made. Magdalena ensured that every part of this adventure was perfect. She is a special person and this was a wonderful class.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted you enjoyed discovering Krakow’s history, culture, and food. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future! All the best from Krakow Monika and Tomasz Krakow Urban Tours

    A Home cooked Polish Cooking Experience

    We had a fantastic private cooking class with Magdalena. She met us at our hotel, and our first stop was the local market. This was amazing as she showed us the huge number of vendors providing the freshest produce, cheeses, meats, breads, sweets and anything else you could want. Magdalena made it fun by giving both of us 2 ingredients that we needed to buy to make pierogi. The trick was we needed to ask for the ingredients in Polish! We practiced a few times and then did our best to get the items, with her help of course! We then went to her apartment where we first enjoyed some refreshments and delicious snacks before we got to cooking. It was like visiting our new Polish cousin as the conversation was very interesting and we learned a lot about Polish traditions. We then started cooking. Magdalena had preboiled the potatoes and sauteed the onions while we talked. It was now our turn to help make the dough and knead it sufficiently. We first cut the dough with the special pierogi glass and then mixed together the potatoes, onion and cheese and create tiny balls for the filling. Then we learned how to stretch the dough and fold in the filling. Not only was this a lot of fun, but they tasted terrific! We enjoyed the pierogi with homemade sauerkraut and pickles and, of course, some Polish beer. It was a terrific day and Magdalena made it incredibly special and very memorable for us. She also gave us the recipe so now we can try it again at home. Thanks Magdalena for a great personal cooking experience! It was like visiting family.

    Kasia was a pleasure! Loved how she made us order our ingredients -in Polish - at the market! Market vendors were very helpful and understanding. Kasia has a lovely home and made the experience wonderful.

    Food Tour and Pierogi Making - Must Experience while visiting Krakow!

    We took the food tour with Mateusz and it was amazing. His knowledge of food, culture, and the history of Kratow is top notch. We started with several different beers with a variety of obwarzanek krakowski, then we tried three different soups, potato pancakes, and apple fritters. We walked through Kazimierz for cheesecake and vodka and some history of the area. Everything was well organized and Mateusz’s style was very friendly. Highly recommend! I would also like to highly recommend the Krakow Pierogi Cooking Class with Market Visit & Home Cooked Meal offered. Our host was Monika and she was great! We got the opportunity to try test our out Polish language at the market when we picked up ingredients for the meal, we experienced Kraków’s public transportation, met Monica’s very gracious husband and daughter, and made an amazing meal together. Don’t miss this opportunity to live and cook like a local!

    Krakow Pierogi Cooking Class with Market Visit & Home-Cooked Meal: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.

    How much does Krakow Pierogi Cooking Class with Market Visit & Home-Cooked Meal cost?

    +

    Prices start at $109 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Krakow usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Krakow Pierogi Cooking Class with Market Visit & Home-Cooked Meal take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Krakow is not rushed.

    Is Krakow Pierogi Cooking Class with Market Visit & Home-Cooked Meal worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 305 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Krakow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Krakow Pierogi Cooking Class with Market Visit & Home-Cooked Meal?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Krakow Pierogi Cooking Class with Market Visit & Home-Cooked Meal suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Krakow Pierogi Cooking Class with Market Visit & Home-Cooked Meal?

    +

    Around 107 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Krakow can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Krakow and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Krakow Pierogi Cooking Class with Market Visit & Home-Cooked Meal start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Krakow within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Krakow?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Krakow experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Complete Cracow Bike Tour (small group of maximum 15 people!), Krakow–Zakopane: Cable Car, Chocholow Baths, Cheese & Vodka, Krakow to Auschwitz Birkenau Guided Tour with Transfer and Ticket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Krakow?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Krakow?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Krakow Pierogi Cooking Class with Market Visit & Home-Cooked Meal?

    Included: Selection of Polish snacks; Polish beer; Local Friendly English-speaking Guide; Private tour option hotel pick up; and Public transport to the private home where the cooking class is taking place.

    +
