Amazing guide for amazing place
A very interesting visit that taught me a lot about the history of the kings of Poland and Krakow's role as the royal capital.
The tour was initially scheduled to last two hours but ended up lasting two and a half hours. There were a lot of historical details...too many...impossible to remember everything. I wouldn't recommend it if you have young children.
Your guide was an extremely nice person, full of passion and knowledge. She loves what she does. Thank you!
Felt we saw the key areas and elements of the castle and cathedral. Was well paced and good value. The guide was super knowledgeable but presented information with dates and names etc.; but for me, a “story style” of narration would have helped me take in the history. I found it hard to follow dates and facts - all kudos to the guide though who knew his stuff inside out!
très bien
Very interesting tour led by a guide who spoke clearly (unlike the one for the Auschwitz tour). The guide took the time to answer our questions. Just one minor point: the guide could have started by introducing himself.
Very informative and knew a lot about the castle and cathedral
Our guide Helen was excellent! We felt lucky to have her.
