Itinerary

Choose a preferred departure time and meet your private driver at your central Krakow hotel. Hop aboard your Melex, a small, electric car similar to a golf cart. Your eco-friendly ride is ideal for touring the city, as it can access areas of the Old Town closed to normal traffic. The vehicle also comes with plastic, transparent covers to keep you warm during rainy days.

Travel first to the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and admire Europe’s largest medieval square, the Rynek Główny. Gaze at the impressive Cloth Hall and St Mary’s Church, where the famous trumpet calls out on the hour. Continue to the Barbican, a fortified outpost once connected to the city walls during medieval times. As you travel from each major landmark, gain extra insight into the city’s rich culture, history and architecture through the audio commentary on board.

Head to the former Jewish neighborhood of Kazimierz next, passing the historic synagogues and bustling restaurants and shops. Continue to Podgórze to see Oskar Schindler’s Factory, where many Jewish employees were saved from deportation during World War II, among other historic sites.

Your tour concludes with drop-off back at your hotel.

An excellent way to see the City and would recommend to anyone to do this before doing individual sighteseeing

Great way to start the trip!

Anna O, Jun 2019
The electric car city tour is a great way to get an overview of the city. You can then decide what you want to see in more detail. The guide/driver was very nice, knowledgeable and spoke very good English. I recommend it ic you have just one day in the city or as an introduction

Well recommended. Everything went smoothly and tour guide spoke very good french and was full of knowlknowledge all the places we visited.

Edith_P, Sep 2017
The concept with travel by golf cart through the wonderful town of Krakow with excellent information provided by the audio would have deserved a 5 if not for our driver not guide who pulled the rating down. Perhaps it was the rain but from the beginning of our tour on 23 September, our driver seemed in a hurry. He did motion to what was being described but did not remain at the site while the audio was describing it. We tried to ask that he stay so we could listen and see but language barriers prevented that. As we saw all similar tours stopping and letting people take pictures about half way through the tour, we were able to communicate stop, photo and then he stopped, opened the plastic door so we could get out and take a picture. He never volunteered to stop for us to take a photo, but was very helpful when we asked. Perhaps with more experience, he will be as good as some of the other driver/guides reviewed. Also, my recommendation would be to provide a list or map of the stops to the clients. We had hoped to have a feel for the layout of the city at the end of the tour but because of the many turns and circling back by the same sites, we did not have that nor were we sure what all we had seen. While we were disappointed with our driver, still enjoyed our experience. We chose not to name him in this public post.

Nikki Upton-Smith, Jul 2017
Only way to get around narrow streets in city centre without walking - hence why chose over usual sightseeing bus tour. With teenager in tow and limited time was able to tick off sights with just enough commentary driver was personable and we spoke a lot about respective countries. Able to give my own time for collection and requested drop off at Schindlers factory with our suitcases as going straight to airport from there. So despite being quite expensive for just 2, provided a good taxi service also.

Did not turn up on time at the hotel...

Leanne C, Jul 2017
Did not turn up on time at the hotel and had to ring to sort it out. The guide tried hard but it is difficult to hear in the traffic.

Well done by guide and driver...

Well done by guide and driver Matthew giving us all the highlights of Krakow on our first full day ! If not for a unexpected flat tire on the Melex vehicle I would have it rated as a 5 star experience and good value.

Janette W, Jun 2015
It was great. The pre-recorded language guide was really well used by the guide who would point to a building and name it , then play the story of it in English. The little car is great fun too. It's almost like a walking tour with advantages.

Visite du quartier juif

EVELYNE_R, Dec 2022
Bonne organisation de la visite, bons contacts et bonne réactivité. Le guide Georges, qui nous a accompagné pour cette visite en français, était sympathique, compétent et nous permis une belle découverte du quartier juif.
