It was an extremely pleasant, warm, and peaceful experience. A magnificent romantic night stroll taking in the city and its lights, and the view of Wawel Castle was incredible! Highly recommended and definitely worth doing again!

I highly recommend the experience because it is very romantic, sailing very calmly with soft background music on the Vistula River. The ship is large and I recommend going straight to the upper deck to enjoy a better view. The only downside is that the commentary is not in Italian... the boat is equipped with clean restrooms and a small bar.

A very interesting tour! I highly recommend it; the castle is impressive, with its massive size and rich history. Many thanks to our guide, Mr. Grzegorz – a true enthusiast who shared many interesting additional stories. He was a pleasure to listen to, speaking with ease, fluency, and class.

Urzsula PRZEWODNIK is a very knowledgeable guide who, with her insights and anecdotes, gave us the best possible tour of Wawel Castle—and best of all, in French. Thanks to her, we highly recommend her.

Explore Poland’s seat of secular power on a guided tour of Wawel Castle and Cathedral, followed by a scenic night cruise on the Vistula River.

Step inside Wawel Castle and admire its paintings and sculptures, including access to a permanent exhibition, while your guide shares stories about the castle’s history.

Visit Wawel Cathedral, where Polish monarchs were crowned and buried, and marvel at the Renaissance art that adorns the building.

End with a 1-hour night cruise along the Vistula River, taking in the Kazimierz District and the 'Church on the Rock,' with your audio guide.

Fun fact: Hidden beneath the castle courtyard is a network of mysterious underground tunnels known as the Wawel Dragon’s Den!

The boat was nice, the staff welcoming and the offer of blankets was a really noce touch. However, there was not much to see and we were quite disappointed. It was OK value for money given the pleasentness of the boat and the staff but would not do this trip again.
