We loved this experience! Our guide was so lovely, engaging, spoke wonderful English and had so much knowledge of this expedition, polish history and events. I felt that if we had gone round the museum on our own we would not have got the same out of it. Really felt amazed by this museum. A must visit for sure :) and although I cannot remember our guides name I would like to thank her for the wonderful knowledge that she shared with us.

Afterall I felt that we could have covered Rynek (Market) Underground museum by ourselves without a guide. Nothing wrong per-se with the guide but un-necessary to have one. You can easily spend couple of hours walking around and reading.

Meeting point easy to find, but museum staff seemed unaware of any guided tours. Museum was very dark and quite warm, even on a snowy December day.

very interesting guide was so engaging and made the whole experience excellent

Great tour, really informative and great value for money
