Very informative and well worth visiting. Lots to see. Our tour guide was lovely and spoke English very well and had a good sense of humour 😀

This experience was very informative, much better and more in depth than I had originally imagined. Our guide was fabulous and attentive. This was an archaeological feast.

Interesting history with knowledgeable guide . Not suitable for young children .
If not interested in the history good to take a gentle stroll through for half the price .
Emma_T, Nov 2025
Was a lot of information to take in for a short amount of time, personally myself and my part would have preffered to of done this tour by ourselves to really take in each exhibit
Tanya_P, Nov 2025
Very informative and interesting history of Krakow. The museum itself is astounding and our guide knew her stuff
Karen_S, Oct 2025
Our tour was just okay. First of all, our group was too large for the space, over twenty. While the history is interesting, the guide, Anetta, spent much time on frivolity and repeating herself. It seemed there was more that could have been shared regarding the museum. We learned from an earlier city tour that we should find the spot in the museum where we could look up and see St. Mary’s and the square through the glass ceiling. Our guide did not point this out and luckily we veered off on our own to see it.
If there is an option to take the tour on your own with an audio guide, I’d go that route.

Wonderfully curated and set in a truly captivating location beneath Krakow’s Town Square. The exhibits are thoughtfully arranged throughout a spacious, low-lit environment that enhances the experience. Informative, entertaining, and consistently intriguing—this museum easily earns a top spot among Krakow’s must-see attractions.

Honestly don't bother with it. Just get yourself a ticket and have a wonder round.
The tour guide was nice enough but talked too much about unimportant things and asked stupid questions like 'do you know what Lead? is...have you heard of Lead?
My friend and I ended up leaving the tour after about 15 mins and just walked round ourselves

Had difficulty finding the meeting point and the desk staff were very unhelpful. Someone eventually found us and we met our guide Alicia. The area was a little crowded so you had to listen very carefully to what Alicia was saying but then it emptied a little so it was good. Alicia was very informative and the tour was very interesting and we learned some things that we never knew. Apart from the location not being evidence the few hours spent there was very good.
Wayne_S, Mar 2025
It's a good tour of you're really into archeology and the buried history of Krakow. Otherwise, a little boring. The guide was very good.
Sarah_W, Mar 2025
This could be looked around in 15 minutes so just go around on your own.
Don’t bother with a guide and save your money

This was a great tour. Very interesting. Interactive and easy to get to. The bits the archeological people dug up we’re fascinating
Donald_T, Jul 2024
It was a very good tour. The guide was excellent. Very informative. I enjoyed it fully. I enjoy learning about history. Krokow is one of my favorite cities to visit because of the rich history. This is the second time I've taken the tour.
Anthony_F, Jul 2024
Very engaging guide in a museum with a number of artifacts that are best experienced with some explanation. Great experience overall.
Karen_P, Jun 2024
Very interesting. Good tour guide - very clear and interesting facts. I have nothing more to say so why insist on 100 words
Caesare_T, Jun 2024
Very sincere and heartfelt tour given by our tour guide. I liked the dim lit vibe that the museum used.
Katherine_H, Jun 2024
Tour guide was excellent! She coveyed a lot of historical information in a short period of time! Extremely articulate and pleasant. We absolutely loved it!
Heather_E, Jun 2024
In order to really get the most out of the museum, you need a guide otherwise it will not be worth the money or time. Our guide taught us about the archeological significance as well as life in the medieval times in Krakow.
Darralynn_D, May 2024
We had an excellent tour with Olga on 5/16/24. The museum itself is fascinating- filled with so many interesting items of Krakow's past. Olga was amazing- very knowledgeable and engaging, she did a wonderful job bringing these artifacts to life. Highly recommend this tour with Olga.

Magda was our tour guide and she did a wonderful job of walking us through the Underground Museum while giving us additional background information and directing us to the most important and more interesting parts of the collection.
Michelle_T, Oct 2023
Fantastic tour, guide was very informative and very passionate about the information she relayed to us, very small group which was ideal, overall brilliant
Ann_C, Oct 2023
Good value. Guide very informative and kept our interest. Was shock to find out that it was only discovered in 2005 so relatively new discovery.
