Very Thorough and Informative Tour - The tour was quite informative and very well organized. My head honestly started to spin a bit with just how knowledgeable our guide was and her detailed explanations but that was due to my personal ignorance concerning Polish history. I highly recommend this tour!

Disappointing - Wawel castle and cathedral are well worth a visit however we found the guide to be rushed and on a script that didn’t allow for any interaction between her and the group to allow for questions and on the one occasion she was asked a question she was abrupt and ruin, the cathedral tour information was of no relevance as the guide was so far ahead we didn’t know what she was pointing out, I would revisit but not on a guided tour.
