Jusg 4 of us ended up on the wooden boat . Was lovely felt more personalised . Commentary tape about places on river & history but the captain also told us facts too . Really enjoyed it . Blankets to keep us warm too x

A small but fine and very private gondola ride in the evening over the Vistula. You have the opportunity to get to know corners of Kraków that you would otherwise not see. I have a clear recommendation for this

Very pleasant walk on the Vistula. Departure at 6 p.m., we were only 2, so a real romantic stroll. Very nice and discreet driver. A very good moment.

It was very beautiful! We went in the evening and had a gondola all to ourselves! Great!!!

It was wonderful, everything as it should be, I recommend it
