It was fantastic to see the city from the Vistula in the late afternoon, both because of its beauty and because of the information being broadcast from the boat—also in Spanish.

Everything was excellent, except that the speakers could be amplified, because unfortunately I couldn't hear many things because of the noisy company that was next to me. Otherwise - excellent crew and very interesting and pleasant driving. We had the opportunity to catch the sunset and the first darkness. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great view!

It was a lovely wag to see the wonderful sights of Keakiw from the river. The boat was comfortable with shade too if you wanted it & the commentary in English as well as Polish was very good as it explained the buildings we were passing. It was a relaxing trip on a very hot day, we loved it.

We booked the evening tour and it was amazing. Seeing Krakow illuminated at night was really beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. If you prefer to sit on the upper deck, I’d recommend arriving at the boat a little earlier, as those seats fill up quickly.

Wawel and the Cathedral... absolutely beautiful places; our guide Wojtek was fantastic (friendly, smiling, speaking from the heart without just reciting a script)—places I highly recommend. If I get the chance, I’ll definitely come back again.

Highly recommended. After a walk up Wavel Hill and along the river, we took the sunset cruise.

Hi It's okay, but there's room for improvement. You can't hear the explanations on the terrace. And be careful about going out there after dark—it's prettier, but there are also a lot of mosquitoes. Thanks

A beautiful experience. Best at sunset when the monuments and bridges start to light up. Recommended.
