Brilliant underground tour. Not what I expected - Fascinating tour of this fairly new underground museum beneath the whole main square. Virtually the whole history of Krakow in one place. It's quite interactive too. Takes about an hour to be guided round but you can explore on your own after the tour's ended.

Super guide - Great knowledgeable guide with a good English. She drew in those present and had many funny anecdotes. The only downside was that she spoke too fast for our nine-year-old grandson to follow.

Really good and informative guide and easy process to book. A must when visiting Krakow old town - Brilliant tour guide… amazing knowledge really interesting. Group size was ok. Other tourists were pushing and shoving which was sad because no need for this behaviour, as they could see were on a tour. But you can’t teach manners in some people. Overall museum artefacts were interesting and the whole history of krakow was really interesting. A must if visiting and get a guide as in any place normally you would just walk around and not really get to know what is going on so glad we had a guide she was lovely. We went through get your guide app for the booking.

Worth a visit - Had difficulty finding the meeting point and the desk staff were very unhelpful. Someone eventually found us and we met our guide Alicia. The area was a little crowded so you had to listen very carefully to what Alicia was saying but then it emptied a little so it was good. Alicia was very informative and the tour was very interesting and we learned some things that we never knew. Apart from the location not being evidence the few hours spent there was very good.

Definitely worth the trip - Definitely worth the trip. The underground museum give a fascinating glimpse into Old Krakow, It is well laid out with signs in both Polish and English. While the tour guide was very knowledgeable, A tour guide really is not required because of the great layout.

Interesting museum. Guide not needed for this. - The tour guide was very nice but her English was not clear. This made it difficult for us to understand her. It’s a small museum and I think that we could have explored it without a guide, as the signage was clear and each exhibit.
