Krakow City Tour

Kraków – the city of living history. Most popular tourist destination in Poland – not without a reason! Famous from the marvelous Old Town with mysterious, narrow streets, hidden architecture treasures.

For the Kraków beginners, we propose a city walk with a licensed, specialized guide. It is a perfect introduction to future in depth Kraków expeditions. You will walk around the Main Market Square (every hour you can listen to the traditional anthem played from the tower of the St. Mary’s Church), admire the historical buildings and tenement houses. St. Mary’s Church is well-known from the gothic wooden altar (there are over 200 sculptured characters).

We cannot miss the Cloth Hall, where you can buy some original, hand-made souvenirs, regional products, etc. Then you will head for the historical buildings of the Jagiellonian University (one of the oldest in Europe). On the way to the Wawel Hill, where the castle located is, you will also visit the most beautiful churches: St. Peter’s and Paul’s Church, St. Adalbertus Church.

The final stop is Wawel Castle – the former seat of Polish kings. If you wish, you can order a longer version of the sightseeing (5 hours) and visit also the castle interiors.

My father and I recently returned from our Ultimate Poland tour and we really cannot express how impressed we were with the RealPoland coordination, staff, accommodations, food, local guides and transportation. The itinerary was filled with visits to key historic and cultural sites along with some fun activities like making our own Polish pottery and a pierogi workshop - admittedly, my father and I still need to work on these skills. The accommodations were top class European standard hotels. Breakfast each day was provided in the hotels and dinners were pre-planned at various interesting restaurants in whichever city or town we happened to be staying. Lunch was on us, this may seem daunting but the tours are arranged so that a convenient lunch break happens in a square or Old Town area with an ample choice of cafes and restaurants. As for the Polish cuisine, don’t expect kielbasa and pierogis for every meal - they like to mix it up for you.

Our original intent for taking the tour was to learn more about our Polish heritage. We asked to add an extra day on the end so that we could visit my great grandparents village - the Real Poland staff took care of everything for us, an extended itinerary with hotel, transportation and a local guide.

I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed the beautiful county of Poland. It's clean, safe and very affordable. Additionally, the staff at RealPoland are amazing - especially all of the "Magdas". If you are considering a trip to Poland and are worried about getting around or finding the right tour I would highly recommend RealPoland they are first class.

Natalia' and Magda's quick responsiveness was tremendous! Overall, my total xperience with Real Poland was excellent. They were helpful during setting up my tour plans, and also very helpful when we had to cancel. Natalia researched my grandfather and found lots of information about him that I did not know. I am satisfied with the work she did and I look forward to traveling to Poland in the future. I hope to visit the area where he was from and maybe meet some of my relatives.
