10 Self-Guided Tours & Rentals in Krakow That You Shouldn't Miss
Krakow is one of the most culturally and politically significant cities in Poland. It was the central site of the Nazi General Government during WWII, and there’s still a residual feeling of solemnity here that’s especially apparent during visits to the Plaszow Concentration Camp and the Oskar Schindler Factory. Both the Historic City Centre and the Jewish District are brimming with cafés, shops, and pubs, and the 10-acre Main Market Square is a medieval feast for the senses.

1. Solve the mystery and explore hidden Kraków
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 5 reviews
It is going to be a quest game where you will walk around the city, get into places that sometimes even locals don't know about and solve hidden puzzles. Tasks are linear-answers to questions gives you next locations with more puzzles. Sometimes you will need a password to get in or to get next clue. You will find them out from previous puzzles or you will need to interact with people that are in check points. If you manage to solve the riddle you will get to the final point and find out what happened in the city. In order to get there you really need to get involved in solving the tasks and sightseeing itself. This way of exploring new places is way more engaging, educational and entertaining. It may sound serious but don't worry we are not too serious ;) we will take care that you will have fun - prepare for hilarious tasks and vodka shots in the check points. That is going to be an experience you couldn't just have on your own. You will surely remember that for a long time!
Inclusions: shots in some of the check points, all materials needed to solve the riddles, notebooks and pens

Situated locally, bike trip is definitely the best place to pick up road or mountain bikes in Kraków. Admittedly not known for its cycling, this shop had more city bikes and a very limited selection of specialist road or mountain bikes. On arriving the bikes we requested were prepped but there was a misunderstanding about what gear specifically they had -pedal type- and we didn’t receive exactly what was hoped. As a consequence we received a substantial discount and they tried their best to help us! They even let us hold onto them for longer at short notice as they weren’t hired the following day. *If you’re a keen MTB, gravel or road biker, definitely need to bring your own pedals, and roadside repair gear/ tubes as there’s also no insurance or pick up. You may not find your perfect frame size so definitely clarify before but the bikes are good quality & well maintained* All in all would recommend for cyclists and keen cycling tourists visiting this picturesque city. Our top tips for cycling were Tyniec and Ojcowski Park Narodowy, however the latter warrants more of a gravel bike.

I went on an electric buggy city tour with my 3-year-old nephew with Klaudia Lasoń in June. We all had so much fun, Klaudia was open to all our requests and expectations, she adjusted the type of trip to cater for a child, so he was never bored. The best thing was that the service was both professional and friendly - I really felt that our guide was not just our driver, but also a person who enjoys spending time with other people. I would thoroughly recommend this service! :)

We prebooked transfers and tours very easy online for salt mines and Auschwitz and Birkenau before we left england. When we arrived in airport we had no problem finding the driver. The vehicles are top of the range, very modern and very clean. Drivers are very friendly and professional and spoke very good english. Pick-times exactly at your requested times. Very attractive low prices for pick up from airport and return to airport and we booked the salt mines and the Auschwitz and Birkenau trip. Cant recommend them enough. We would give this company and Wojciech and his staff more than five stars rating if we could.
