Lovely afternoon cruise

This was a nice way to spend a hour in the sun. There was just the four of us on board and we were allowed to take drinks on board too. An excellent afternoon

Gondola river cruise

Very friendly staff and nice trip. The weather spoilt the first 30 minutes of our trip but that was not the hosts fault in any way. Lovely gentle ride with a different view of the city. Worth doing for a relaxing hour out of the city life.

Wonderful boat ride, seeing Krakow from a different perspective.

It was a quite calm and pleasant ride, viewing the city from another perspective. The narration of the audio guide worked very well, with good content and coherent with the places being observed. I deeply appreciate that, being the only participant, the provider conducted the activity. I value this greatly, because other companies providing tourist services would surely have canceled. Best regards.

Peaceful hour on the river

Very peaceful. Commentary in English was clear and concise. Note: no facilities on board-it is what they say-a gondola.
