After doing research on my upcoming trip to Krakow, I was disappointed to see how long it would take to get to city center via train or local bus and given that I had acquired another piece of luggage, there was no way I would be lugging that across various platforms. Never mind the cobblestones lining the entire stretch of Old Town. Taxis are also apparently not regulated so even though I had a good idea of the current exchange of the PLN, I didn't want to deal with that on top of haggling.
My first Google search brought me to this shuttle service and after reading good reviews via Expedia, booked the round trip via their site. For the entire trip, from KRK to old town and back, my total in USD was only $44 so PLN 164.
When I arrived, our driver had a sign out waiting with my name on it. Our trip to the hotel was quick and efficient and he delivered me right close to the hotel.
Pick-up was also efficient and timely. Driver assisted with my bags and we were at the airport in 20 minutes.
The fleet/shuttles are modern, newer, and provide a smooth ride. I also noted that with the amount of traffic going to/from old town, these drivers were well experienced. I have to also mention cute ;)
If I could rate their service with 10 stars, I would.
Please remember to tip the drivers well. I noticed a lot of American/Asian tourists were not heavy into tipping but for a country where the exchange rate is lower and a lot of workforce here are labor driven, acknowledging their service is just another way to express appreciation.
Friendly, helpful, and with an efficient online portal, 5 top stars via Yelp and another 5 virtual additional for being a great addition to the transportation options from KRK to city center! read more
