“I would recommend taking this tour if you are a better listener than you are a reader because I learned a lot more in a short period of time than I would have if I had to read everything. The guide was good. And the tour was well paced, I did not feel overwhelmed with the amount of information. Overall I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of the city. Also I had no trouble finding the tour because there was a person with a sign that reassured us that we were at the right place which was a nice touch because it lifted the anxiety…”

“I really enjoyed the history. our guide was very knowledgeable and was very good at painting a picture of the time period in Krakow...so different from today. at the end of the guided tour we wanted to go back to the museum and spend more time at a few exhibits, but museum staff said we could not do so. I would suggest that people who pay for a guided tour be granted time afterward to explore the museum on their own.”

In about 90 minutes, you’ll see medieval streets, trade relics, and multimedia displays about 12th- and 13th-century Krakow, with context for the Cloth Hall and St Mary’s Church.

“The tour started 20 minutes late because one of the booked people decided to go to the shop after they had notified one of the guides they were there & we all had to wait for them to return. The guide was apologetic, but it wasn't their fault. The tour guide wasn't the friendliest person, but he was professional & very good at relaying information about the site in an interesting way. Although there are interactive screens in the museum (that I didn't have a chance to use) I'm really glad that I went with a guide rather than visiting independently. Originally I had planned to visit the museum independently…”
