Very comprehensive and well-curated sightseeing route; you do see a very large portion of the city on the tour and it's a very pleasant atmosphere. The headphones handed out (and I do mean headphones as opposed to disposable earphones) are of good quality. The only slight critique is that the narration of the audio tour is not so easy yo follow and it cuts out in parts.

The audio guide is informative and interesting, in Krakow there are a lot to talk about. The background music was too loud, I have to constantly adjust volume after a voice section. Buy the ticket in advance via headout app from Jordan group directly, that is the cheapest way to get it. We did the full circle but 1.5 hours in one shot is way to much, take at least one break.
