2nd part of tour was much better - I am giving this tour 5 stars only because the lady Paulina who guided the second part of our tour was so amazing she made up for the first part. 1st the tour was not what I expected. It reads as though it is one tour. So we were a bit confused when we were told we’d have to find our way back from the Wawel Castle to the meeting point to start the Old Town and St Mary’s Basillica portion of the tour. The first tour guide, although very friendly and knowledgeable was difficult to understand. He spoke very fast and was also hard to keep up with while walking. The tour was extremely rushed. No time for photos. My husband and I did ok keeping up and trying to understand him. But it took a lot of energy and focus to do so. The older people on the tour were very frustrated and gave up even trying to understand him. We also lost 2 people who were frustrated because we were running around so fast they couldn’t even snap a photo. Several other guests were also upset because questions were encouraged l, but when asked they never got answered. The second part of the tour however was amazing. Paulina was a fantasy tour guide. Perfect pace, perfect English, and so informative. One of the best guides I’ve ever had. She is the reason I am giving 5 stars. Loved that she ends the tour in St Mary’s Basilica so you can have some time to yourself and enjoy the Basilica.
