Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When the tour starts?

A: At 11:00 am starts the Royal Krakow tour and at 3:00 pm starts the Jewish Krakow tour. But if you overslept on the first tour you have still two options:

1. Contact us and get a private tour.
2. Be at main market square at 12:00 as we'll come back there to listen to the bugle call and look for our sign:




Q: Does the tour take place 7 days a week including Saturday and Sunday?

A: Yes, Free Walking Tour in Krakow takes place every single day including Saturday, Sunday, Easter, Christmas, and even New Year's day (it was unforgettable our :)), so all holidays. If there will be some reason which will force us to cancel the tour. (Like during the president funeral) we will inform about it in thenews section)

Q: Where is the emergency meeting point in case the regular one is not available to us?

A: The emergency meeting point is at the monument of Adam Mickiewicz, on the same side of the Main Market Square. It's basically the guy on the column in the middle of that side. The emergency meeting point is right next to the original one (ca 50 metres).
We are forced to use it when the regular one is not available to us, eg because of a film being shot or some ceremonies. Such situations happen very rarely, but they do.


Q: Can i just ask if your guide speaks english please?

A: Yes all of our Free Walking Tours are in english and all of our tour guides are licensed and have rights to guide in english. We guide in polish also but only for a special request and not on Free Walking Tour.


Q: How long the tour take?

A: About 3 hours. But we are not another clockwise thinking company. Our goal is to do a good tour, not to break a guinness world record doing the fastest tour with the longest distance. So sometimes can be longer just to finish the tour in a proper way.


Q: Who pays you?

A: We are total independent project and not support by any business, any government. We work only for tips. So we simply can't do a bad tour. Because then we won't affort cover our costs. :)
