They could organise their own excursions if they wanted to - see http://www.viator.com/Krakow/d529-ttd?activities=all
Viator sometimes are not always the cheapest. You may want to check with the hotel to see if they offer any discounted excursions before booking.0 -
My advice would be - dont book excursions in advance.Several reasons for this:-
Krakow is a wonderful place with lots of interesting places to visit within the city. If you have not been before the basilica in the old town square (where the bugler plays from the spire) is mindblowing inside and well worth the climb to the top if you are feeling energetic.
Wavel castle and the museum where they have a Leonardo ( Lady with the Irmine) on display is an other compact but mindblowing museum.
There are horse drawn carrages to take you round the town or the cheaper golf carts with commentary are good to get your bearings and a historical feel for the place.
The main excursions are to the salt mines - interesting but exhausting, Aushwitz - an sad but non the less interesting place to visit , both these take up at least half a day.
Another reason is that the exchange rates available a the numerous little boothes around the square give good exchange rates, far better than british banks.
All the hotels will have details of the excursions and will arrange pick up. Enjoy your stay!! I'm envious !!0
