★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,111 reviews · 2 hours · from $57Our pick

Guided 2-hour visit to Wawel Castle and Cathedral in Krakow. Skip lines, see royal rooms, and touch the Sigismund Bell.

“If I could give this 10 extra stars, I would. Our guide Helena was INCREDIBLE. She made the tour extraordinary. Her passion for Polish history was soaked into every fact she taught us. It's evident how much she enjoys her heritage and culture and sharing it with others. The Hall of Heads of Deputies, the legend of the Krakow dragon, and the German invasion of the castle were a few of the standout stories to me.

“A 1.5 hour trip which will give you a tour of a small section of the castle. Our guide made that clear from the outset and when you see the size of the castle you'll soon understand why. A tour of the whole thing would easily take up a day we were told and I could believe it. Our section of the Royal Chambers and some of the armaments consumed our allocated time period with the subject descriptions delivered in detail. Our only small criticism was that our guide wasn't always easy to understand. A lovely lady but quietly spoken with her strong local accent proved challenging for us at…”
