Outstanding Walking Tour - Our guide Helen had an unbelievable passion for all historical aspects of the tour. Her knowledge of times, dates and facts was simply outstanding. The tour itself was perfect if you have a few hours to spare as we did before our flight home and I would whole heartedly recommend it.

Knowledgeable guide - Amazing trip, the guide was really knowledgeable, made everyone feel included in the history and the group. She told us many cool facts and made history interesting and fun. The only thing I didn't like was single use headphones, I rather share overhead headphones than polluting the planet.

Nice Quick Tour of Wawel Castle highlights - A good quick tour of the highlights of Wawel castle.The guide moved and spoke very fast and made it challenging at times to understand what she was talking about, but given the time crunch it’s understandable. She did answer questions and was extremely knowledgeable. If you want to see more recommend a half day tour
