The guide was fantastic and helped us discover the entire history of Krakow and Poland. The museum’s interactive exhibits were perfect and really engaged our three children. We were all very happy—thank you so much. Alessandro

Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. It was her first time as a guide of the museum and as there was only two of us, it felt like a personal tour. Excellent.

Guide was very knowledgeable and shared information in a dynamic manner. Without the guide, we wouldn't have known the significance of found objects nor the details of the archaeological finds. The exhibit is very well presented and gives a glimpse into Krakow from the 13th century to the 16th century. Well worth it.

It was my first time using this platform. We had a great guide who made the tour very engaging, sharing interesting stories, examples, and jokes, and interacting with the group throughout. The museum itself is interesting, but in my opinion, it wouldn’t have been nearly as enjoyable without the guide.

Really informative, interesting guided tour. We usually prefer to wander round museums under our own steam but the guided tour really helped us understand the exhibits and the history of the city. Our guide, Adrian, spoke excellent English - thank you Adrian!
