A Great Walking Tour - Carolina was exceptionally good with our group. Very well versed in the history, and funny about some of it. I recommend it highly and encourage participants to tip appropriately at the conclusion because that’s her sole source of income.

Essential for all visitors to Krakow - Superb and essential! Did this near 3hr tour on first day of a 5 day trip and found it so informative and fun. About 20 of us in the group and led by an experienced and funny guide - whose English was excellent, using phrases that he picked up when living in London. He really made this tour so rewarding as he had so many stories but communicated them in such an engaging way - every location chosen had a story and we went through the centuries at quite a pace, learning about popes, dragons and communists. Some people may be tempted to take advantage of the pay as u want payment system BUT don’t! It’s a great service with high quality guides and might be the best thing you pay for on your visit. Brilliant

Perfect Tour for First-Time Visitors - We really enjoyed the walking tour. The guide was amazing and we learned quite a bit about the history. The tour was ~2 hours but could've easily last much longer as 2 hours were challenging to cover so many places. The tour does not go inside the Wawel Castle so if you would like to see inside, you will need to book a different tour or go on your own. After the tour, we went to see the dragon cave as our time was limited (you need a ticket to enter the cave). This is a perfect tour to take upon arrival as it gives an overview of the city and what one might want to see while there. This is a free city tour so you can show up and attend without a reservation.

Karolina the best guide - Our tour guide was karolina. She was a brilliant and intelligent guide. She knew the history of krakow is depth and told us in detail the history of each place. She gave us enough time for coffee break. She is the best.
