Great experience!

We very much enjoyed our walking tour. Marcin picked us up at our hotel and we proceeded to the Town Square. Here Marcin explained the history of the Square, St. Mary’s Basilica, the Town Hall and the underground museum. We then proceeded to the university where Marcin had timed our arrival perfectly to see the musical clock. From there we took a leisurely walk to St. Francis of Assisi Church (spectacular interior) and then on to Wawel Castle, where Marcin shared details on the castles history. Marcin was extremely knowledgeable and was also happy to answer our many questions. The walk is at a leisurely pace, the only steps are a gentle incline up to the castle grounds. We would highly recommend this tour.

Operator response

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another tour soon! Best regards, Rosotravel Team
