Wawel and cathedral tour - I had the pleasure of experiencing a private tour of Wawel Castle and Cathedral with Barbara, and it was truly unforgettable. Even though it was just the two of us, she gave her full energy and passion to the tour, making me feel like I had a personal journey through centuries of history. Barbara’s deep knowledge is matched only by her heartfelt storytelling. You can tell that the history of the castle and cathedral lives in her heart—she speaks not just with expertise, but with genuine love and pride for the place. Every detail she shared made the walls, halls, and stones of Wawel come alive.

This was a great tour. ... - This was a great tour. Helen, the guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful. She explained all the history and hidden stories that made it very interesting. She knows the history back and forth. She interjected humor with history. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Once a lifetime experience! - This tour far exceeded our expectations and was worth way more than the price. It was great sight seeing, cultural education, and a history lesson wrapped into one with a tour guide who was more knowledgeable and qualified than we could have hoped. A truly amazing once in a lifetime experience.

Don’t miss a second of this memorable tour! - Incredible tour with the most knowledgeable and vivacious guide. There is so much to see- the skip the lines tickets are a must. Bring comfortable shoes, lots of walking and climbing if you want to go up the tower.

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.

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.
