    Wonderful tour of Wawel Castle

    Magdalena our English speaking guide was excellent. She’s very knowledgeable & shared the historical significance of Wawel Castle & it’s contents with an impressive familiarity. Magdalena was especially enthusiastic in showing us the important features of the castle & it’s rooms.
    Excellent tour!

    We did this tour on May 21st with Anita and it was excellent. First, she introduced us to our guide for the State Rooms (who was also wonderful). Following that portion of the tour, we met back up with Anita for the remainder of the tour, including the breath taking Wawel Cathedral. Anita was amazing! She was friendly, informative and engaging. We enjoyed our experience very much and highly recommend it!

    Amazing tour

    We toured the Wawel Castle complex during July 2021 with Magda. She did a wonderful job escorting us around the castle and cathedral explaining the history and details. I highly recommend you take this tour!!
    Very knowledgeable guide!
    Carolyn_B, Sep 2020
    Our guide was so knowledgeable about Wawel Castle and the surrounding area I would consider her an expert. We learned so much about Polish history as well, as we toured the castle. I highly recommend seeing the castle in this way... you won’t regret the experience!
    CASTLE PRIVATE TOUR
    Davide_S, Aug 2020
    The guide was lovely and very prepared, but from our point of view too many historical details. I think that at the beginning of a tour you should ask to the customers what are their preferences. Note: it was a private tour (2 people) PS It’s not a fault of the tour or the guide, but the cathedral had very poor COVID prevention standard. Ok in the castle and in the other locations of the visit. Krakow has a very high standard in COVID prevention, it’s really a pity that it’s not the same in the cathedral (that part of the museum it’s under the Catholic Church management)
