The tour was very nice and informative. Helena was an amazing tour guide and was a wealth of knowledge. She took time to answer every question posed. Unfortunately we ran out of time during the tour to walk up to the top of the bell tower due to some people who wouldn’t stay with the group, but Helena made sure to talk to the person at the entrance to allow us back in on our own to walk to the top. I would use this tour company again. Thank you.

a very quick tour, but our guide really knew his stuff. The cathedral is overwhelming amazing at every moment. Easy walk from meeting point to Wawel castle and Cathedral. Make sure to see the dragons den after the tour ends purchase the tickets near the entry point, but beside the castle wall.

We really enjoyed it. Our tour guide was really nice and told us a lots of information. For us as Hungarians we knew a part of the Polish culture and history but this trip was a cherry on top. On the negative side the only thing I can tell is the 2 hours not really enough for this event. It felt like really rushing.
