We saw many things that we wouldn't have seen (or noticed) had we done it on our own. The legend of the 2 towers (and brothers) of St. Mary's and the knife is just one of many examples. We also learned the reason why the trumpeter abruptly stops playing his bugle call (Hejnał Mariacki) every hour. We met Victoria and the rest of the group (about 25 people) near the Barbican. Just look for the yellow umbrella with their logo. It initially rained in the beginning, but it cleared up as we were on our way through Old Town. There is so much history in Kraków. This tour gave us insight into the most important museums to visit as well as the architecture surrounding us. There was the Ironman competition obstacle that we had to overcome when approaching the castle. She quickly & professionally navigated our way through it without any interruption to the tour. It ended up being a sunny day once we reached the castle walls. The tour of the castle grounds was the highlight with its beautiful gardens. We will choose Walkative again in the future. They have walking tours in many European cities. I first learned about it through a Yelp friend's review of her Barcelona tour. Thanks Helene! Knowing what I know now, I wish we had booked one for Plaszow and the Jewish Quarter. They offer so many different tours. It's absolutely worth it! On that note, make sure you tip your guide well. They are the ones that make this experience so special. They are a wealth of knowledge. I very highly recommend these tours!

We left the whole day open to see Auschwitz, and they cancelled the tour on us. They are just a bus…read moreoperator and a bad one at that. After talking to a guide that is employed by the Auschwitz Camp and has live in the area his whole life, is how it works with all tour companies to Auschwitz. They don't buy the tickets until the bus is full, and leave it as late as possiable to buy them. This is because to stop ticket reselling they put a name to each ticket and check it with goverment ID. So only the person who they book for can use that ticket. This means sometimes they don't have tickets for anyone and just risk waiting at the gate, hence why there are some many reviews of leaving at 4am to be the first there when it opens. All the good reviews must of been when it was super busy. So my story. I booked through headout but got put with their local guide discover krakow. Always book direct with a company not a middle man like headout, they made it seam like they were the company not the middle man. The morning of I get to the metring place at 6.15am for my 6.30am tour. It's gets to 6.45am and a full bus come and picks up about 12 German speaking tourist, she tells us the English one will be here soon. It gets to 7am and another guy calls, they tell us that our trip was moved to 4am but hangout didn't inform us. This guy apperanlty also got a call at 3.40am that morning telling him to be there at 4am. The only reason we came to Poland was to go to Auschwitz, so we decide to get a train there to see if we can get in. We get there at about 10am wait for tickets was about 1hr, we get a tour for 12.30pm, tour took 3.5 hrs. Get back to train station for a train at about 5.30pm. HOW TO AVOID Booked tickets here visit.auschwitz.org it's the place that's does the tours. 10,000 people come through everyday and they have 300 guides, that speak 20 languages. It's a well oiled machine. Catch the train Its an hour train trip from Krakow main station to Oświęcim (polish spelling of auschwitz), and a flat walk of about 20min to the museum where tour startes or there is a bus.

I've forgotten things while traveling - it unfortunately happens - but putting the blame on a company if it never turns up is just ridiculous. I did the Auschwitz day tour, and the van was comfortable, our travel guide was friendly and spoke English well, and we arrived/departed on schedule. That's just about all you need on such a tour! I had originally looked into taking trains and then walking a bunch to save money on this trip, and I'm glad I ended up spending a bit more to join a group tour. Also...this is important as you must have booked your ticket to the sites in advance if you are a solo traveler!

The people that work there are extremely nice, very personable, and really make things fun. We were interested in possibly booking a tour of Auschwitz and also the salt mines. The young lady and the gentleman who helped us, Paula and Paulo, were both very honest with us and told us that we would be okay on our own with the Auschwitz tour, but we're better suited to take a group tour for the salt mines. So, we booked a tour to the salt mines. The company provided transportation to and from the salt mines, which was easily located in the main part of the city. Once on the bus which was very comfortable, we made our way to the Salt lines. Everything was organized very well, we all got stickers, and it was very little unnecessary waiting period the guide was even smart enough to let people know when they should probably try to go to the restroom, because there would be a while before we had access to another one. Everything was well-organized, the people were super friendly, the prices were very reasonable, and the tour itself was good. I would absolutely use these folks again if I had to book a tour while in Krakow Poland, and I recommend you do the same!
