A Great Experience - We booked this tour at the last minute but were pleasantly surprised at the responsiveness of the company. We were picked up on time by our guide, Kuba, and he provided many insights into
Polish history as well as the Wawel Castle and nearby Cathedral. Kuba was friendly, informative and very flexible to meet our needs. My wife and I would highly recommend this company.

The Royal City! - I booked a tour with these guys as my place was a bit further out from the city and I wanted to fit a lot in, so the pickup was a perfect option. The driver arrived early which was a bonus. I mean the castle in krakow is one of its must see attraction. It’s in all the photos of the city and of course is full of the history of the country.
The guided tour itself was insightful, well delivered and at a good pace so that it wasn’t overwhelming or boring. I really enjoyed this trip and came away delighted, energetic and more knowledgable about krakow and poland’s history!
