The time of the German occupation of Krakow is considered to be the most difficult period in the history of the city. It was a time of darkness but also a time of true heroes. A time of courage, fear and betrayal, when even the simplest decision could bare grave consequences. A time that lives in us thanks to the stories of our parents and grandparents.
On this tour we will learn about the Nazi plans towards the Poles and understand how they repressed their victims. We will also talk about the citizens of Krakow and their attitudes towards the Germans.
That’s true – Kraków didn’t have an uprising and the city wasn’t demolished, but resistance movement still had it’s part during WWII. Join the World War 2 in Kraków FREE walking TOUR and learn more!

I’ve had Walkative tours in several cities in Europe. This one was the very best by far. Our guide Tomasz (or Big Tom) was not only very well informed of the facts, but actually introduced small details that made the whole tour come alive, touch your soul and leave a deep mark in there, almost 80 years after the end of a war that changed the world.
I’d like to wish Tomasz that his dream comes true: to create a new tour about Krakow’s unknown “James Bond” hero he told us about. I wish I could remember his name and do some further research about him, but I was so absorbed by Tom’s captivating narration that I forgot to make a note.
Once again, thank you for the most touching, educational and informative walking tour I’ve ever experienced anywhere in the world. You made me understand the psyche of both sides, in a way that only a historian who truly comprehends history between the lines can.
100% recommended.
I would appreciate it if Walkative could ask Big Tom to get in touch with me as I would be very interested in remembering the name of the Resistance hero he talked us about. Thank you.
Mateusz is a great guide! He’s knowledgeable and he organized the tour nicely. He also introduced a lot about Polish movies connected with this history.
We appreciate to have this chance learning the city’s story from a local.
We’ll recommend our friends to join if they plan to visit Krakow!
