We enjoyed our boat trip. The city looked magnificent in the evening. We liked the route and sightseeing. The stuff was friendly and helpful.

The explanation of the meeting place and the exchange of tickets which are not changed, so why ask us? We were asked to change seats in the boat for the balance, even though we were the first to board :thinking: The driver very focused on his phone. And honestly, there's nothing more to see than the Wawel Castle, which you can discover just as well without the cruise. Disappointed with this activity.

It was onetime, and the boat was nice, the blanket was welcome. Only one person serving drinks so was slow, coffee was not very hot so almost cold by the time I got back to my party. The audio was not very clear.

Wished there could have been a more informative audio tour with it, for example a museum was pointed out that was very popular, but no explanation of what the museum was of. Everything extremely brief meaning we were having to listen to the same, very boring music on loop. Would have preferred to listen to the water. Otherwise staff great, boat lovely, an hour was perfect

Krakow was and still is very beautiful at nighttime, so we had a very great experience. It was good to hear about the sights' history. I would recomment this for everyone, who travels to this city, and wants to learn about it.

River cruise experience from Wawel Hill

Begin your tour from Wawel Hill, where you can spot the magnificent Wawel Royal Castle and other nearby monuments. Enjoy the sights and sounds as you cruise along the gorgeous Vistula River while soaking in the warm sunlight. Every guest is given an audio guide to listen to during the cruise, which is available in English and Polish. The boat is a mixture of traditional design coupled with modern technology, giving you a comfortable experience.

Spectacular views of Krakow landmarks

Once you begin sailing, you can head to the open deck for spectacular views of Krakow and its major landmarks. You will spot many charming attractions such as the Saltwater and Kazimierz, the Debnicki Bridge, the Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel or 'Church on the Rock', the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology, and the Norbetine Monastery. Sit back and enjoy the unforgettable sights on your Krakow cruise which lasts for approximately 1 hour.
