About this activity

Discover the beauty of the former Polish capital from the top of a double decker bus. Visit the monuments and the sites of interest in your own pace using the concept of hop on - hop off. Enjoy the amazing views of the city from the top floor enjoying at the same time audio guide commentary in eight languages to choose from, giving you the certificated information on the places of interest, history and curiosities. On the route all the highlights of the city can be found: the complex of the Wawel Castle which served as a seat of the polish kings until the end of the 16th century, National Museum with its wide collection of the art masterpieces, Kazimierz district which in the past was a place where the Jewish community resided and built many synagogues which can be admired till this day, Podgórze district related to the history of the ghetto created by the Germans occupying the city during the WWII, Schindler's Factory - a former enamel factory where Oscar Schindler managed to save approx. 1200 Jew employees by employing them in the factory. Today this historic place widely known from the Steven Spielberg's film "The Schindler's List" serves as the museum devoted to the reality of Cracov during the times of WWII and is considered one of the most interesting museums in the country. Heroes of the Ghetto Square- the center of the Jewish ghetto, today covered by many oversized, empty, scattered all over the square chairs that commemorate the victims of the tragic ghetto liquidation in 1943. The city center with Słowacki's Theatre, 19th century Railway Station, picturesque Planty park, Matejko Square with the most distinguish monument in the city devoted to the Grunwald battle, medieval city walls with its famous Florian Gate and the round Barbican fortress. The Main Square Market can be reached within the short walk from one of our stops in the center. Last but not least visit the Kościuszki's Mound which is located outside the city center and was built by the Cracov inhabitants in the 19th century to commemorate the national hero- Tadeusz Kościuszko.

The bus was in a dreadful state, falling apart. Seats were broken and the sound system to plug our headphones into to receive commentary about Krakow was either not working in most seat areas or was crackling and you couldn't heard the commentary properly! The driver went straight around the route without telling us where we could get off. Properly the worst Hop on Hop off bus tour I have ever done! AVOID! Your better off with a different type of tour of Krakow!

Not overly impressed with this particular bus, the route was very limited and because of it's required size could not penetrate into the heart of many areas such as the 'Old Town' of Krakow and some of the narrow streets of the Ghetto, we saw much more when we booked the Retro Car tour, the service itself is very efficient though we did have some confusion finding the right bus with another bus driver having to insist to our own bus driver that his was the bus we had booked, the commentary as you travel round is good and it is well priced so all in all it was good, good but not great, we recommend the Retro car or even one of the hundreds of golf cart tours to be found operating everywhere.

Very poor standard of transport - very dated - many ear pieces were not working. No one on the buses to look after you, just a driver who could not communicate and who did not wait for passengers to get to their seats before moving off - quite dangerous to be honest ! Arriving at places of interest out of siinque with the commentary Uncomfortable ride over all Staff at main stops were useless not knowing which bus company was which Shame as we were looking forward to this

We started our hop on hop on tour at 4pm. We got to the bus stop and had to search for a rep, who were all standing nowhere near the bus stop. I showed him my printed day pass. He went away, saying he didn't know if it was his company. Finally got on bus. Which didn't stop, had 5 P.O.I and a waste

AWFUL! Buses were filthy and old, it runs about every hour, there's not very much to do in every stop so you have a long time to wait. Not worth it, don't do it!

I found the information provided almost useless,! In fact i'm pretty sure that I went on a different company's bus! There are no signs or bus stops with info. I have used these sort of buses in many countries - never with such hopeless information!
