Overall rating

I recommend taking this day trip if you visit Krakow. The price includes all admissions plus transportation to places that would otherwise be difficult to visit without a car. Our guide/driver spoke excellent English and drove expertly and safely. The National Park was very pretty. The art collection at the second castle we visited was absolutely breathtaking. We were taken to a restaurant with a cute atmosphere and tasty food. One suggestion would be that a bit more narration is included. An overview of the day, a general timeline (approximate lunch stop time, driving times), an orientation of where we were at geographically, a brief description of each stop with a little history). I think the last castle stop could have been shorter. The walking may be a little strenuous for a person who is not agile.

it's worth going outside of Kraków to see the castles and the national park. Incredible views! our driver Thomas went above and beyond- I was traveling with my elderly mum and auntie and he made sure they got to see the sights even when their knees were giving in. Super convenient door to door service 🙂

The Castle was beautiful. You can explore almost all of the inside & most of the grounds. Our guide spoke excellent English & was really friendly & helpful. Highly recommend.

Friendly and informative driver. Good communication during and before the tour. Great experience.

The driver was on time and very friendly. The castles were very beautiful.
