No visit to Kraków can be considered complete without experiencing the wealth of local cuisine flavours! Join us for a 3-hour culinary stroll with an experienced local guide and Polish cuisine connoisseur. On this tour, we will taste more than 10 of the most delicious and traditional Polish dishes and snacks. Some of them are known all over the country (the famous pierogi), but others, such as the obwarzanek (a type of pretzel) available exclusively in Kraków! The guide introduces us to several local restaurants, patisseries, and cafes so that we can enjoy excellent food in a small group and learn about Polish traditions or customs connected with the preparation and consumption of the tasted dishes. Polish culinary culture is, of course, not just about food – the tour includes various types of high-quality Polish vodkas tasting. The tour takes place in Krakow's Old Town, and in its course, the guide also tells us about the most beautiful landmarks we pass along the tour route.

Polish food tour
A wonderful tour with a very experienced and pleasant guide. Tomasz took us to some beautiful restaurants where we were shown traditional Polish customs with authentic food and vodka. Highly recommend him and this tour!

Great Polish Food tour. ...
Great Polish Food tour. Our guide was really good describing the dishes and culture. He even thought us some Polish words! We really enjoyed the restaurants that he chose.
Response from the operator: Dear Maggie, thank you so much for choosing our tour! I'm so happy to hear that you loved both the food and the stories shared on the way :) Thank you for your great review!

Perfect Way to get to know Krakow!
This is a MUST in Krakow (request Aleksandra for your tour). The best way to get to know Polish food, customs and other good lunch/dinner locations in Krakow. A great journey to include Polish favorites, a little history of some Polish specialty foods, mixed with a bit of local and national history. Maybe even some Vodka tasting if you desire. You will find Aleksandra to be the ultimate professional guide and will make your tour a great part of your visit. We would recommend booking this early in your visit.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this fantastic review! I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food, stories, and local traditions. I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Aleksandra. It was a pleasure having you with us, and I hope you'll come back to Kraków someday! 😊

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Traditional Polish Food Tour in Krakow Old Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.
How much does Traditional Polish Food Tour in Krakow Old Town cost?
+
Prices start at $105 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 Traditional Polish Food Tour in Krakow Old Town take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Traditional Polish Food Tour in Krakow Old Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 97 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 Traditional Polish Food Tour in Krakow Old Town?
+
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 Traditional Polish Food Tour in Krakow Old Town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Traditional Polish Food Tour in Krakow Old Town?
+
Around 34 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Traditional Polish Food Tour in Krakow Old Town 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.

Not included: Gratuities; and Any extra orders apart from our selection of food/beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Traditional Polish Food Tour in Krakow Old Town?
+
We meet by the statue of Piotr Skarga in the central part of the St. Mary Magdalene Square Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
