Our guide was wonderful and knowledgeable, she explained the history of the castle and cathedral in a way that kept your interest. We learnt so much, yes the castle doesn’t have as many artifacts as you would expect but she did a great job explaining why and the history behind what was missing and what existed. I wish I remembered her name but I strongly recommend this tour !

This tour was wonderful. The cathedral is gorgeous and unlike any other cathedral I have visited in other European cities- you can see the kings sarcophagi. The castle was a bit underwhelming, very small with lots of artwork, not like other castles where you see sleeping chambers and dining rooms, but I still recommend this activity.

First off, our bad for not reading ALL the details of the game and what was required to download. The ONLY major issue with these clues was the weather! One of the final clues/questions required there to be a clean walkway. The snow and frozen area wasn’t ideal, but we made it work!

The guide was very prepared and explained the structures visited impeccably. The palace and the cathedral are two must-see sights when visiting Krakow.

She was very knowledgeable and a very pleasant person.
