Krakow Airport Private Transfer

1.Krakow Airport Private Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,227 reviews · 25 minutes (approx.) Our pick

Book a private one-way ride between Krakow Airport and a city-center hotel or apartment. An English-speaking driver such as Adrian, Adam, Oskar, or Jakub may meet you, help with luggage, and share local tips. The ride takes about 25 minutes, traffic permitting.

“Unfortunately we were not greeted by our driver in the arrival area where other drivers waited with name signs. The driver had apparently made a decision to wait outside in his vehicle and text us his location…which did not work as we had no phone service in Krakow airport. We ended up using the local taxi.”

“Between Cornelia’s vast wealth of knowledge about Poland’s communist past and the amazing little car in which we drove all over Nowa Huta I have to say it was an afternoon I will never forget. I saw a bunker untouched since its doors closed decades ago, a store that looks like time stood still, and so much in between. Cornelia was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about the not-so-distant past. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Poland’s history.”
