Once equipped we’ll head through the lush green Planty gardens to some of the oldest fortifications in the city - parts of the medieval city wall, the Barbican and the Florian Gate. Here we learn about the attacks on the city in the distant past before we get to meet one of the most important Queens of Poland - Jadwiga, and hear her story.

Continuing our ride through the old moat gardens we’ll explore the Jagiellonian University buildings with their medieval courtyards and ornate clocks, and then we see the Bishop’s Palace and the window of Pope John Paul II and get a glimpse of Oscar Schindler’s house.

As we approach the river you’ll get a proper look at Krakow’s historic castle - the Wawel - and learn all about the dragon that resides beneath the hill. He may even breathe fire just for you! We’ll then cruise along the banks of the Vistula before crossing the river to the Podgorze district. Here we’ll learn about the devastating events of WWII and see the areas of the former Jewish ghetto, the remains of the ghetto walls and take a look Oscar Schindler’s factory.

In the final leg of our tour we’ll head back to downtown Krakow and explore the bohemian Kazimierz district - but first we take a break in a cosy restaurant to taste some of the local Polish and Jewish cuisine (included in the tour price). Take your pick from a list of traditional dishes - your guide can help you choose something to your taste!

After lunch we’ll take a look around the Jewish district of Krakow, check out the most important synagogues and landmarks and see how the area has now become the trendy bar and restaurant district in the city.
