About this experience
Join 2.5 hours tour with Walkative! guide and beerlover who will give you the inside scoop on Krakow’s local beer culture – both drinking and crafting aspects! We will serve you 6 samples, among them: the only true Polish style to have survived, an historical style that has come back to Kraków after 400 years and the beer that influenced the count of time. To let you participate the way you enjoy best (focusing on the story or the experience), we separate the price of the tour from the samples – it is NOT a pub crawl or a drinking tour, it is a full-fledged tour with plenty of stories, so even if you don’t drink, you will fully enjoy it, without an extra cost of samples that you wouldn’t use.
