Beware of "taxi" frauds!

I present the text written at Magiczny Krakow for future visitors to avoid unnecessary costs.
Here is the text as it's presented in krakow.pl

"Bearing in mind the safety and well-being of both Krakow inhabitants and tourists we wish to refer to the rights of clients using transportation services in our city. 

Due to cases of abuse of client unawareness we wish to warn tourists as well as inhabitants of Krakow against dishonest transportation service providers. This is to inform that there are two forms of transportation services in Krakow, i.e. TAXI and PRZEWÓZ OSÓB (people transport). TAXI service providers are required to place their price lists on their cars' side windows as well as inside the car. Price lists must display individual rates which shall not exceed maximum prices established by the City Council of Krakow. Taximeters are required to be installed in all taxicabs and the total fee for each ride is to be indicated only by taximeters.

Besides displaying their price lists in a visible place, carriers providing services as PRZEWÓZ OSÓB (people transport) are required to inform their clients of the fee for transport to their destination before starting a ride. Providers of this type of transportation services can freely estimate their transport rates, as maximum rate regulations concerning TAXI service providers are not applied to them."

My advise is to always call for the cab. 

Write down at least one of this numbers in your cell, you may need it when you'll be coming back from a party in the middle of the night.

1 DAY = 2 TOURS

Not only you’ll see two monuments from UNESCO list in just one day, you’ll pay less, and have great service for incredibly low price.

Auschwitz-Birkenau & Wieliczka Tour gives you opportunity to see more interesting places during your short stay in Krakow.

Simply two must see places are now available for you even if you have just one day in Krakow.

Why those places are so unique?


Auschwitz-Birkenau was the biggest Nazi concentration camp, place where millions were exterminated. We owe the presence there to people who died there as our statement that we didn’t forget.

Wieliczka on the other hand offers you the only mining site in the world functioning continuously for over 700 years. Its beautiful salt sculptures and altars made by miners are definitely worth walking underground.

What’s important the tour is organized in small groups, we offer hotel pick up, and all fees are included so no extra costs, the price you see is final.

We always ask our clients to let us know how the tour went, this way we can check the quality of the tours we offer and react if necessary.

The current price of the tour is on our website, so feel free to click the link below

The most electric sightseeing tours

As you start walking around Old Town or Kazimierz district you'll see dozens of electric carts offering their service.

I believe that they are worth recommending so here is my recommendation :)

Let me tell you about the biggest company AB CITY TOUR (abcitytour.pl), cause I used their service and actually they are the electric cart sightseeing market creators.

Since 2001 over 100 000 clients used their service.

When you book a cart (you can call +48 509 085 070 , +48 509 085 072 or 0048 12 427-27-57, or use order form at the website) you get to choose from 3 main tours

OLD TOWN TOUR

KAZIMIERZ-JEWISH DISTRICT TOUR

JEWISH GHETTO WITH SCHINDLER’S FACTORY

You can also pick the vehicle since they have electric vehicles styled for classic cars in retro style.

The tours are in 9 languages:

Polish, English, German, Italian, Norwegian, Russian, Hungarian, Spanish and French

I think the tours are the great offer for people who don’t have too much time, using this carts you’re able to see all the must see places in Krakow in 2 hours!

You can also take a tour at the beginning of you Krakow visiting to find out which area you’re more interested in and then come back an spend there more time.

What's important, they offer free pick up from any location in area of Old Town and Kazimierz, after the tour you’re driven to location you choose also free of charges.

If you need an invoice they offer it, if not you’ll be given a receipt.

I strongly recommend this company and their tours - high quality and reasonable prices.
