Kraków’s Castle - My favorite part of the tour was seeing all of the beautiful tapestries in the collection. I also enjoyed learning about the rich history of Poland. The collection of porcelain figurines was also impressive.

A must do for visitors to Krakow. - Vising a castle and its grounds on a sunny afternoon was such a pleasant experience. The group was met , right on time , by Bianca who explained how the tour would be conducted. She then handed us over to Eva - a castle guide. Eva was so knowledgeable about the castle, its long and sometimes complicated history; all explained clearly ! The interior is fascinating. As an art lover , I had not expected to see quite a few paintings - an added bonus. Tapestries, silver and porcelain are all beautifully displayed and we had time to stroll about and have a closer look at the artefacts. After our comprehensive tour of the interior, we could then visit the lovely garden- full of roses and very relaxing. I would absolutely recommend this tour to lovers of history, art and Krakow ! Thank you to Eva for an excellent visit to Wawel Castle.

Castle adventure - The richness of information was amazing. The lady was so knowledgeable and knew all about the history! I like how she controlled the group when some over excited guests got rowdy! Great tour!

Experience not to be missed - The very extensive knowledge of our guide, without notes of any kind. Nice small group. Guides need to have colourful umbrella to find them.

Can be better - The tour was okay but a few things I didn’t like. The tour was supposed to start at 2:30 but they actually started showing the apartments at 3:15. Also they didn’t show us the famous Wavel Dragon.

Wasted time - Most of the time was spent waiting due to poor planning by tour operators. We were asked to meet outside the castle 10 minutes before the tour started at 14:00. We then walked in a group up to the opposite side of the castle where the tour participants were asked to wait. The guide spent an annoyingly long time collecting audio equipment and arranging for us to go to the bathroom. The trip was supposed to last an hour. In reality we got 37 minutes. Many of the tour participants were quite annoyed. This trip is not recommended. The castle is nice, but find a tour operator that is a bit more structured.
