Wawel Castle Tour - We did the tour of all exhibits with no guide. It took about 3.5 hours. It was nice to view things at our own pace. Lots of fascinating artifacts.

Wonderful tour of Wawel Castle - Magdalena our English speaking guide was excellent. She’s very knowledgeable & shared the historical significance of Wawel Castle & it’s contents with an impressive familiarity. Magdalena was especially enthusiastic in showing us the important features of the castle & it’s rooms.

Excellent tour! - We did this tour on May 21st with Anita and it was excellent. First, she introduced us to our guide for the State Rooms (who was also wonderful). Following that portion of the tour, we met back up with Anita for the remainder of the tour, including the breath taking Wawel Cathedral. Anita was amazing! She was friendly, informative and engaging. We enjoyed our experience very much and highly recommend it!

Wonderful tour with amazing guide - Great tour with a fantastic guide. My three teens were fascinated by the story of Wawel! Our guide shared historic facts but also less known interesting details that kept us captivated!

Didn’t quite work for us! - First part of the tour was the cathedral but, for some reason, it didn’t work for us, and we dropped out at the end of that bit. Couldn’t hear very well - to be fair, the guide needs to keep the volume down in the cathedral - but the commentary never really brought the history to life. And we are a BIG fan of guided tours. But maybe our heads just weren’t in the right place on the day. My star rating would’ve been lower, but the company were clearly very concerned that it didn’t work out for us, and tried to fix things, and that’s worth a star or two. Do read other reviews as well as this one. Most rate the tour very highly, and I don’t doubt that they are genuine.

Disappointed - We booked the tour before leaving Australia hoping for the best experience ever. Unfortunately the experience was opposite. We were at the meeting point on time, even a little earlier to be sure that nobody would have to wait for us. After 20 minutes of waiting and not knowing why nobody else is at the meeting point I called the number given to me prior to the tour. I have learned that the tour guide Irena just could not make it and there is no tour. What a disappointing experience on the first day in Krakow. The only good news about the tour is that money was refunded straight away.
