“Wawel Castle is glorious. However, 1 hr tour does not give justice to such large castle. Our tour guide did a good job telling us about the place, but my USA friends had a hard time following as they are not familiar with Polish history. Hope the tour would take into account those who are not familiar with Polish culture.”

Review of Rosotravel’s private Wawel Castle tour, with skip-the-line State Rooms, optional Cathedral and Crown Treasury visits, price and practical tips.
“The public queue for unbookied tickets was extremely long.The official ticket reservation site failed to answer the telephone when called repeatedly. Therefore a third party is needed for a pleasant visit to Wawel. Our guide was an experienced mature lady who adjusted the tour entirely to our requirements.I cannot think of any improvement. The Wawel site would require much more than TWO 2- hour visits to explore fully!”

“The driver spoke English fluently and explained a lot of things about Polish history. Very flexible in pick-up and drop-off time and location. We enjoyed the visit of the castle and it was very nice that afterwards, when we were tired, to just sit in the car and be taken home without worrying about train times. I booked this tour also because of the late pick-up time (11:00) - if you are travelling with teenagers like me, then a start at 08:00 (like some of the other Tours) is just too early.”
