This presents an opportunity to see the architecturally- and historically-rich city of Krakow from a different point of view. A unique view is obtained of the Wawel Castle and other iconic symbols along the banks of the Vistual. Make sure you bring a coat with you (even if the sun's out!), although they did provide blankets. The quality of the audio would probably be better conveyed through headphones.

Amazing experience! The boat tour was a really relaxing and enjoyable way to see Krakow from a different perspective. The views along the river were beautiful, especially with the historic buildings and the Wawel Castle. The atmosphere on the boat was calm and perfect to take photos. The staff was friendly and everything was well organized. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone visiting Krakow, especially if you want something easy and not tiring. Great value for money!

Wawel castle tour was amazing, our guide Helena was the best guide we have ever had, she was so friendly and knowledgeable, she knew everything about and its history. Highly recommended. Our evening river cruise was great, nice and pleasent, a couple of drinks whilst cruising the river, lovely way to finish the day.

They were very punctual and friendly. Unfortunately, the audio guides were only available in three languages (Polish, English, and Spanish); it would have been much more interesting to be able to listen to an Italian audio guide using our headphones, as is common on many other cruises.

Enjoy an evening cruise on the Vistula River and take in the best attractions of Krakow from a great waterfront perspective.

Enjoy skipping the ticket line at the pier and also listening to an audio guide in Polish & English with a ticket upgrade.

Admire top highlights of the city like the significant Wawel Castle and Kazimierz District, 'Church on the Rock', and more.

With an interesting audio guide, enhance your evening cruise experience even more as you learn so much about every riverside attraction.

Be sure to soak up the splendid views of the historic Norbetin Monastery. Opt for a glass of wine exchangeable with beer/soft drinks of your choice.
