Important Information

• Please check your email the day before the tour for important information. Please ensure you arrive at the meeting point on time. Being late may prevent you from joining this tour or entering the attractions at your reserved time slot. Skip-the-line tickets are purchased in advance to allow you to get in faster without queuing at the ticket office. Entry to churches during masses and special events (such as scheduled concerts) is restricted, so the guide can provide all the information from the outside. Admission to Wawel Castle is for the State Rooms. You have to climb 144 stairs to reach the top of the Sigismund Tower of Wawel Cathedral. The staircase is narrow and has a low ceiling, so it is not easily accessible. Due to local regulations, we limit your group size to 1-20 guests per 1 guide. We will arrange additional guides for larger groups.
