Common questions

FAQ

Are admission tickets to the Castle and Bison Reserve included in the price?

No — admission tickets are paid separately: Pszczyna Castle PLN 28 per adult (full 2 h tour with audio guide PL/EN/DE/IT/CZ), a licensed guide for groups of up to 25 is PLN 180 (recommended, online booking one week ahead). Show Bison Reserve PLN 15 per adult, children PLN 10. The transfer (EUR 420 E-Class) covers the chauffeur, vehicle, flight tracking if pickup is at KTW and 5 hours of waiting.

Can the plan be changed — add the Pszczyna Open-Air Village Museum or swap the Bison Reserve for Tychy?

Yes. The classic plan: 2 h Castle + 1.5 h Bison Reserve. We can add the Pszczyna Open-Air Village Museum (19th-century Silesian village — 23 historic cottages from various Pszczyna villages, 1 h tour) for an EUR 50 supplement. Swapping the Bison Reserve for the Tyskie Brewery (1.5 h tour with tasting, Tychy 35 km from Pszczyna) carries no surcharge. We tailor the plan to guest preferences after an initial conversation.

My flight arrives early morning at KTW — does the same-day plan work?

Yes — landing at KTW 6:00-8:00, transfer to the hotel and luggage drop (35 km, 30 min), tour start at 9:30. The plan runs 6-7 hours, so a return around 16:30 gives an early evening for dinner in Katowice. We track the flight in real time, 60 minutes of free waiting after landing is included. Service runs 24/7. Pszczyna Castle is open Tuesday-Sunday 9:00-16:00 (April-October until 18:00), Monday closed. The Show Bison Reserve is open daily 9:00-18:00 year-round (in winter the bison most often emerge from the morning feeding at 10:00).

Can I add a stop on route Katowice (hotel) or Katowice-Pyrzowice Airport (KTW) -> Pszczyna Castle -> Show Bison Reserve -> Katowice hotel?

Yes. Planned stops and waiting windows can be included within a single booking.

Will I receive route confirmation before pickup?

Yes. Core timing and operational details are confirmed before dispatch.
