A nice tour of the Wawel castle. Nice and not too long explanation. Unfortunately at the wall and post work so you can't get there.

The gal was excellent, but did not understand from website that we WOULD NOT GO INTO CASTLE. So we left tour, and paid for tickets to go into castle.

Sehr angenehme Audioguide Führung. Angenehme Stimme des Sprechers. Man bekommt Lust noch mehr anzusehen. Es ist ein guter Überblick über die Burg und ihre Geschichte. Auch die kleinen Anekdoten sind gut in den informativen Zusammenhang eingeflochten.Es hat Spass gemacht mit dem Audioguide die Burg kennenzulernen
