The reviews speak volumes of the experience:

Seen Krakow! - Paulina picked us up on time and after she heard that we were from the Netherlands, she immediately told us that she had also lived there for two years. That immediately made it fun in the golf cart. She had a lot of information available about the various sights. In addition, she showed photos on her phone of what something looked like on the inside or what it used to be like in that place, great addition! Thank you for the fun and interesting tour Pauline, we enjoyed it! (Reviewed at: 2024-05-26)

A recent traveler shared their thoughts:

Great general tour of city - A great tour of the city. Chris our guide, took us to places of note in the city and explained the history from medieval era up to the WWII and a bit beyond. We would ride for 5-10 mins then stop while the area and history was explained to us. And rinse-repeat. As we were riding on roads and spaces shared with cars and trams, Chris made sure we were safe, especially when trams had “right of way”. He also taught us essential Polish phrases and how to count to five. :) Dwa piwa proszę. Dziękuję. :) Would definitely recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your stay, so you can then explore places that are of the most interest to you. This tour represents much better value than a “golf buggy” tour as the guide is able to answer all your questions and provide a better interactive service, rather than recorded messages. My favourite part was the talk about the medieval universities and seeing the statue of Nicolaus Copernicus, I am a science nerd :) (Reviewed at: 2024-09-20)
