What our Clients say?
  • “Nice and carefull drivers. Good service – tickets were available without waiting, and there were guides ready as planned. We used the company for the Auschwitz tour, the tour to the Salt mines and for transport to and from the airport.”     Corey Brun
  • “Excellent tours from start to finish. We arrived back at our hotel earlier than expected which was good because we only spent two nights in Kraków so it allowed us a bit more time. The guides were very fluent in English and both the Salt Mine and Aushwitz were really good value for money. We chose to do the tours separately because we thought it would be too tiring doing the full day and I’m glad we did that as there was lots of walking in both tours. Thanks I would highly recommend this to my friends.”     Katie Unsworth
  • “The organisation was excellent and the quality of the tour was very good. The guide for the actual camp was brilliant and we had a very kind and pleasant driver. The Salt Mines were amazing. I got so much out of the day. Thank you very much.”     Isabel Garbeth

Modernist Krakow

During one of our Krakow Tours you can learn about the modernist Krakow, that was above all, a city of literature and painting. Modern life concentrated around artistic cafes (Paon, Jama Michalika), which were also venues for cabarets (zielony Balonik). The ambience in Krakow was that of melancholy and decadence but life, permeated by patriotic neo-romantic symbolism, was lived here to the full. The outbreak of WWI ended this unique bohemian period.

Collegium Maius

The Collegium Maius is the oldest building within the Academy of Krakow (now the Jagiellonian University). It was established in the 15th century by joining together a number of town houses. Lecture rooms and apartments for professors were originally located here. In the 19th century the building housed the Jagiellonian Library. Between 1840 and 1870 the architects Karol Kremer, Feliks Ksiezarski and Hermann Bergman rebuilt the college in the Neo-Gothic style. After WWII the University Museum, established in 1867, was moved here.

Krakow’s Cloth Hall

The Cloth Hall originated from a covered market. A stone structure covering the stalls, with an internal passage, was probably here at the time of the King – Kazimierz the Great. It was rebuilt to the design of Giovanni Maria Mosca following a big fire in 1555, and modernized entirely in 1875 by Tomasz Prylinski. The Gallery of 19th-century Polish Painting is housed here. The stalls sell a variety of souvenirs. The Noworolski Cafe, one of the best in Krakow, is a nice place to relax after seeing the paintings.
