Our ‘Communism Tour’ has been highlighted in international media over the past 20 years and has gained a cult following. We focus on treating our customers like best friends, combining intriguing facts with humour to create an unforgettable experience.
Explore the Nowa Huta district in Krakow, where you can experience authentic Communist architecture, including steelworks and Soviet-style houses. It’s like stepping back in time as you ride in vintage Trabant or Soviet Lada cars, guided by our friendly and knowledgeable team of Crazy Guides. You’ll gain insights into what life was like under communism and hear some incredible stories along the way.
The basic 1.5-hour tour takes you through the district, with a quick stroll around Central Square and the housing estates. You’ll check out the famous steelwork’s headquarters ‘Renaissance’ buildings from the outside and snap a fun photo next to a Soviet tank.
If you’re up for it, the 2.5-hour option gives you a deeper dive into the area. You’ll get a more detailed and longer walk around, get an interesting lecture based on old photos and enjoy refreshments in a retro communist restaurant. Plus, you’ll visit a local 1950s shop filled with unique, quirky souvenirs and classic Socialist décor.
