Careful. It’s not a tour of the castle. - Is was a lovely walk around the castle however the title is very deceiving. I thought we were booking a castle tour.

Beware of what you are buying - read the description - Please ensure you read the detailed itinerary as this “TOUR” is not a tour, what you are doing is renting the audio guide kit NOT entry to the buildings. You can walk freely round them and listen to the guide but you cannot enter any building without buying a ticket on site. I would just buy the entry tickets and enter buildings and not rent the kit.
The offering should be entitled Audio Guide for Wawel Castle and Hill. It should exclude the word TOUR.

Waste of money - Read the information good, befor ordering this trip. The only thing u r paying for is a pre recorded audio-guide for 2 hours use, not tickets. I do not recommend this, as it's an unnecessary expense. I recommend going to Wawel Castle and walking around.
It's free to enter and walk around the compounds of Wawel Castle. And take as many pictures as u want. But by using the audio-guide, u have a to hours restriction, because their equipment as to be returned. It's not enough time to walk around the compound, take pictures, and buy tickets to actually see the inside the bildings of the castle.
