Overview

Seemingly every corner of Krakow is steeped in history and shadowed by the spectres of World War II. If you've already seen some of the city's more popular sites and are itching for a jaunt through time, then brace yourself for an off-the-trodden-path adventure. Our "Secrets of WWII Private Walking Tour" isn't your garden-variety promenade. Over four exhilarating hours, you'll tiptoe through the city's hidden crevices, spotting bullet holes and clandestine spots where history was made, for better or worse.

You'll also get a free Goodtime Monty backpocket guide to Krakow to help you find all the best places during your trip. Spiffy!

• Little known secrets: You'll traverse allies less trodden, discovering tales that even the locals might not know. From whispered stories of resistance to the scars left on the city's very fabric, it's a genuine trip down the rabbit hole.
• Schindler's List spots: You'll get to see locations in the city where the real-life heroes (and villains) of the Schindler saga lived (and died).
• Gestapo intrigue: Steel yourself for a spine-tingling visit to the former Gestapo headquarters and prison. It's a chilling reminder of the dark days, but an absolute must for anyone keen to understand the depths of human resilience and tyranny.

This private tour is not just a walk — it's a journey into the heart of Krakow's key role in WWII history, off the beaten path and straight into the annals of history. Tally ho!
