A guided 1.5-hour Wawel Hill walk in Krakow, with castle and courtyard highlights, plus a finish by the cathedral.

“Guide was excellent. The only problem was the young woman that picked us up at meeting point and asked us to follow her to the Castle grounds where we met the guide. She walked too fast and we, middle age ladies couldn’t catch up with her. Not everyone is in their twenties full of energy and healthy legs. There were few of us that complained.”
