Ewe was my guide and was excellent. She made the complicated history of Krakow, art pieces, and the cathedral interesting and entertaining. Her English is perfect and went at a great pace. I would do a tour because there is parts of the castle that you don’t have access to without a guide, and the crypts in the cathedral would be a little confusing without her.

What a beautiful way to end a great day in Poland. Lots of information provided about the landmarks we passed. Boat was warm and welcoming as were the staff especially the lady behind the bar, sorry didn’t get your name. Thank you!

It was personal and the guide was very nice and enthusiastic. The bike is a fast and fun way to discover Krakow!

The guide was excellent, precise and competent, he allowed us to better understand what we were visiting.

Really wonderful, informative guide! Well worth booking as I wouldn’t have learnt as much otherwise
