A Trip Across Time - A Guided Tour of the Rynek Underground Museum in Krakow - Hello, I would like to say that the entire experience was very illuminating for me and very pleasant and enjoyable from the start to finish. Magdalena is a true professional, an excellent guide, and she really made this tour an unforgettable experience. She set the bar by which I will be measuring all my future guided tours and for that she deserves the highest possible praises. And if possible, I would like for you to send her this review, so that I can thank her directly, and also send it to the people in charge so that they know what an amazing person they have the fortune of employing.

Underground museum - Absolutely fantastic experience. Cannot believe that the whole of the square was dug up - didn't realise this before. Have visited Krakow some years before the excavations took place and was amazed at how its been restored so seamlessly. Big thank you to Pan Andrzej, the gentleman at the entrance. He was the most friendly and kindly person I have met in Krakow.

Interesting guided tour of the city's history under the market square of Krakow - The very interesting German-speaking tour below the Cloth Halls and the Market Square explained the city's history through objects and scenery. Children could playfully penetrate the history of Poland and Krakow and experience craftsmen, merchants, houses and even fire disasters.
