Overview

Step into the living history of Poland’s former royal capital with a guided tour designed for those who love great stories. Led by a passionate storyteller, this journey through Krakow’s UNESCO-listed Old Town blends iconic monuments with the city’s best-kept legends and local curiosities.

Our Narrative Journey:

- The Prelude: We meet at the powerful Grunwald Monument before heading to Stary Kleparz, the city’s oldest market, to experience authentic local life.

- Royal & Academic Heritage: Pass the historic Obwarzanek museum and the Czartoryski Museum while heading to the Jagiellonian University, one of the world's oldest academic institutions.

- Main Market Square: Marvel at the Gothic beauty of St. Mary’s Basilica and wander through the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice), the heart of medieval international trade.

- The Royal Way: Stroll down Kanoniczna Street, the city's most picturesque road, featuring stunning Renaissance and Baroque architecture.

- The Grand Finale: Our journey concludes at the foot of Wawel Royal Castle, where you will learn about the kings and dragons that define the Polish national identity.
