Krakow Old Town: Tours & Tickets

The tour guide spoke virtually no English and could not relate to us anything. I think he was just the driver that was tapped at the last moment to be the "guide" as well. He was so concerned about traffic that he wanted to return to the city early so he didn't have to deal with traffic. The place was beautiful but we didn't have enough time to explore.

Sev had taken our private tour in the morning, He escorted us using local knowledge to a short cruise I had booked & waited for us as he was escorting us on the afternoon tour. As I said previously he was without doubt the best tour guide I have ever had & if you are lucky enough to be guided by him you will be left feeling truly spoilt.

This was a terrific way to cover a big area quickly and get a good sense of the old town and it’s history. We were then able to walk back to all the best bits later having got our bearings. Tour guide was knowledgable and helpful getting us familiar with the Segway at the start. Terrific fun being on the Segway.

When we arrived at the Basilica, the ticket-taker at the door told us we had to have a printed copy of our tickets. Considering we purchased online, while in Krakow, we had no access to a printer. We had to walk 10 minutes and back, to get the ticket printed at the main office. Seems a bit old-fashioned.

Well worth the time. Arrived after early flight, so tired and was a great way to get our bearings without a great deal of effort. Our guide, Sebastian I think, was very friendly and informative not only with history but also places to eat and drink.
