Amazing experience! Awesome guides and definitely worth every dollar!!! - This tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Very easy to find and meet up with the guides - both the male guide at the Castle and the female guide for the church tour, old town and St Mary’s Basilica were incredibly nice, very informative, happy to let us ask questions and take our time to soak every thing in - having the headphones at the castle was awesome as we could clearly hear the guide explaining the history. All of the buildings are absolutely breathtaking and we saw so many different areas of the cathedral, castle and the churches through Old Town. I really appreciated how many stories and information we were given about all the different buildings - definitely a must do for any history lovers or anyone who wants to be wowed. Fair amount of walking required so wear comfortable shoes and have something to eat before the tour as ours was 11am - 3:30pm but also plenty of time to go the bathroom or grab a coffee. I liked having the smaller group so you weren’t rushed through. Thank you for a wonderful day! :)

Wawel castle and cathedral (and St. Mary's Basilica) - Enthusiastic and enthusiastic guide, very Lots of information! Finished on the main square, where we shortened the tour for ourselves a little because we couldn't resist the temptation of lunch in the sun. It was our 3rd excursion day, which was a bit much. If you are still fresh, this tour is perfect!

The Bells - The cathedral, adjacent to the castle and next to one of the entrances, is majestic, very beautiful on the outside and even more so on the inside with the only Renaissance chapel in Northern Europe. The climb to the bell tower, even if a little 'tiring, deserves.
