Great Tour! - We did a tour and so glad that we did. It was great as it was a small group (3 of us) our tour guide had a great sense of humour, the knowledge they had was incredible. It was a shame that we didn’t see the dragon that breathes fire we had to do that a different day and we were never given the opportunity to ask questions. We were recommend to see the bell at the top of the fire, I don’t recommend this part if your not one For heights or claustrophobic. Still very worth the visit and money and time spent. I recommend.

A great way to visit the Wawel Castle and Cathedral! - A great way to visit the Wawel Castle and Cathedral. Our guide was very informative, thorough, and thoughtful. Skipping the line is also a great advantage as these two sights are extremely busy. We highly recommend this! Thank you!

Appalling service - We never got to visit, we had an early tour booked which was running over, I contacted the company straight away to ask if we could adjust the time, but they couldn’t, they offered the day after but we were leaving krakow that day, I advised we would have to cancel and so asked if it would be possible to refund, they refused so I again asked if they could partial refund as it wasn’t our fault and they didn’t even respond, lack of customer service and care is appalling and a complete waste of money, booking was for 7 people, do to loose it all with no compensation is just awful, will not be booking again
