The food tour in Wroclaw was fantastic. Our guide, Jasmina, provided us with a great experience and the food/drink servings were very generous. Highly recommended.

We were lucky because we were the only couple who reserved that date, so we had a kind of a private tour. The tour was exciting, and we enjoyed every moment of it, but what made this tour so pleasant was the presence of Jasmina, the guide. She was full of knowledge and inspired a charming atmosphere. We had a conversation about many things that interested us about Poland, and she also had many good suggestions for our upcoming days in Wroclaw. We Recommend a tour warmly with her.
Unbelievably over priced, we paid about £70 for the evening and had less than €20 worth of food/ drink over the evening. Ok we had a nice host Olivia for the two us but that was the only plus .Its was a walk round some of wroclaws restaurants and a bakery visit ( closed!) Restaurants - churna chatna great soups but was only offered a water to drink had to insist on a beer. Then setna a ho hum pub food rock bar with a delicious (Not!) tub of bacon fat lump of sowercrout ( very sower) passable perogie , the konspirsa mixed main polish food good and in a restaurant you should go too because of the solidarity/ Soviet resistance theme . Then a good craft beer / deli place - one small beer and a goats cheese flatbread . For £70 they are have a laugh. Avoid this like the plague.
Our guest’s opinions that’s definitely what we value the most. I understand you didn’t enjoy the tour as you rated it as “terrible”, however, your actions and your own words show the experience differently.
The title of your review “not delicious” is surprising as you have enjoyed some of the dishes you tried. You have also revisited some of the restaurants after the tour and I have seen that you reviewed them with an excellent rating (you did emphasize in your review that you found that place thanks to the Food Tour- it’s another value that is hard to estimate- discovering local places and local tastes).
You paid for the tour 62 pounds, not 70 pounds (similar tours in other European cities cost like Prague, Paris, Budapest cost approx. 100 pounds) so your claim is false. The value of the food samples is definitely more than what you estimated, but it’s not a point. The tour description says exactly what is included in the price and if you thought that it’s not enough food/drinks it is your decision if you book it or not. We want to make it clear to our guests and write exactly what is included. The price includes also: TripAdvisor commission, taxes, and the gratitude for the guide. Our guides receive a fair salary and I believe you would agree with me as you have mentioned in your review that you enjoyed the Oliwia’s company.
I hope you understand that Food Tours is not only the value of the food and drinks you are tasting but mainly the experiencing polish culture, traditions, history, and cuisine.
Kind regards,
Kamila
Myself and my friend visited Wroclaw in November 2019. We had Jasmina who was our tour guide who was absolute absolutely amazing. She made us feel so comfortable and took us round Wroclaw and provided different tourist attractions for our weekend away. She provided us with a map of where we had visited and also places to visit. Along with the trip we had traditional polish tapas and different flavour vodka (our favourite was the white chocolate vodka). Can’t thank Jasmina enough! Thankyou for being amazing you have made our trip! Xx
Jasmina gave us a wonderful evening trying out local foods in a variety of restaurants. She was so interesting about the food and history of her country. It was like spending the evening with a great friend - thank you!
Me and my partner we're lucky enough to be the only people on the tour (Wroclaw). Really this tour should be titled 'food, history and culture tour'. With each meal you're given a little history on the city, a description of how the food fits into Polish culture, and some great anecdotes about Polish life in general.
The food is well portioned, tastes amazing, and you WILL be full at the end (seriously, don't eat before!). If you're after an authentic Polish food experience this is the tour for you. The restaurants are off the beaten path, more like little gems the locals have mostly managed to hide around the main town square, and each restaurant has a beautifully unique atmosphere. Following the tour me and my partner developed an addiction to a Polish soup (Zurek) and went back for it EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Our tour guide Jasmina was absolutely incredible. Massively knowledgeable and passionate about both the food and city and we were fully engaged through the entire duration. She even took us for some sneak peaks at some of her favourite gems along the way (all of which we visited and found delicious). At the end of the tour she presented us with a map of the immediate area and annotated at least 10 different food establishments, as well as the best cultural locations to visit (botanical and japanese gardens, bout tours etc) which we built the rest of our trip around. If you go on this tour PLEASE go at the beginning as Jasmina will give you days worth things to do.
All in all this tour is nothing short of perfect, and this was the absolute highlight of our trip to Wroclaw.
