Why juggle separate tickets when one guided tour unlocks Wawel Castle, the Wieliczka Salt Mine, seamless transfers, lunch, expert storytelling, smooth pacing, and zero stress.
Book at least 3–5 days in advance, especially in peak season, as timed entry slots at both attractions sell out quickly.

Arrive early at the meeting point to avoid missing fixed entry times.
The experience runs for a full day, typically 7–9 hours, including guided visits, transfers, lunch, and scheduled entry times at both attractions.
