Things to do in Krakow, Southern Poland: The Best Walking Tours
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.

This was very well arranged, they contact you to confirm pick up time and let you know if they will be slightly early/late. The cars were very clean and tidy, they explained everything about what will happen on arrival at the events and were very friendly, helpful and talkative. I highly recommend using this company. We also used this firm to do the salt mine tour and our transfers to and from the airport. Thank you lads, you helped us have an even better holiday.

We were picked up on time by Wojciech. He was a fantastic guide. From start to finish we were looked after perfectly. It is quite a long drive but absolutely worth it. The scenery is outstanding. We enjoyed seeing traditional wooden houses and 15th century Church of St Michael the Archangel. Rafting in Dunajec was pleasant. The rafts hold 12 people and it was quite busy. I recommend if you visit Krakow allow yourself 6 days as there is so much to see and do.

I loved this walking tour! My mother and I went last December after a long cold day of exploration. We met up with a wonderful group of people and had lots of fun that night with our guide and fellow travelers. The food was wonderful and afterwards I felt like I had learned a lot about Polish culture. This experience was really one to remember!
