Excellent tour with Mateusz to Old Nowa Huta, a relic of Poland's imposed communist past and one of only two existing 'utopian' communities. Built between 1949-1955, this model socialist community was intended to counter Kraków's intelligenstia and their anti-communist leanings, with a thriving working-class and self-sufficient suburb (even bomb shelters!). Great chat - cheers from Canada!

Awesome experience! Cool car, awesome bomb shelter and great history. It was like going back in time. My best tour in Krakow.

Booked this for myself and Dad. We both really enjoyed it. We wanted a look into what life was like under Communism in Poland and Mateusz delivered this very enthusiastically. He had many personal stories which added to the authenticity. He knew a lot and was able to answer most questions we had and he painted a vivid picture of life back then.
I would definitely recommend the tour.
A few comments/feedback:
1) Driving around in the old Lada was quirky, but we had to wind the windows down because of the fumes.
2) Compared to other tours these are on the expensive side because of the very limited number of people that can sit in the small car. I would have enjoyed the tour just as much if it was in a mini-bus with a bunch of other people. The old cars appeal to enthusiasts and those who lived through it, but the most important part really is the guide and their knowledge and Mateusz was great. The cars aren't essential. From a business perspective, I'd offer a cheaper tour option without the car in a larger group to pull more people in :)
Keep up the great work!
