      What can I say other than a fantastic tour. Our guide, Magda, was excellent and very knowledgeable. She told us every intricate detail about the castle, things you would not get in the leaflets or blurbs. Would recommend a guided tour to ensure you you make the most of it. Magda was very friendly and offered to take pictures, which we will savour!

      Magda was the most professional, dynamic and engaging expert of all guides I have ever met. She was thoroughly immersed in all eras of Krakow history, and as the day went by, she recognized my interests and focused on those. During the tour, her friendliness combined with her vast historical knowledge, made it a perfect day! Thanks,Magda!

      Magda was amazing and fantastic. I got lucky and was the only one in the group so had a “private” tour and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. She provided me with so much information, answered all my questions, and even went above and beyond to make my first-time experience in Krakow worthwhile. Thank you so much, Magda! This tour is a must with Magda. She’ll tell you everything you need to know and then some. Also, she’s a world traveler and has such a wealth of knowledge to share about all of her experiences. :)
