Bicycle tour to Zakrzowek lake
Last year we visited Krakow with a group of 10. We had a great time on the personalised biking tour with Barbara. We cycled from the old city center to Zakrzowek lake, where we could enjoy the beautiful green Krakow surroundings. Once at the lake we enjoyed a lovely surprise picknick organised by Barbara. It was nice that she listened to our needs and adjusted the program to it.
If you want to go cycling in Krakow, I really recommend that you contact Barbara! (BikeMePoland)

Excellent tour of Cracow with a nice Tour Guide.
Visiting Cracow with guide Basia Polarczyk (from Bikeme) is pure pleasure.
We have participated with one of them with family in January 2018.
We have discovered a lot of interesting places with her: historical, museums, churches, monuments as well as nice parks and restaurants with perfect food. We received a lot of interesting information passed in a simple way with a sense of humor. Basia is very friendly and knows everything important about Cracow and its surroundings. We are very satisfy and we will come back to her.
I honestly recommend sightseeing with Basia!

Extremely nice trip, very good customer service
We've used BikeMe for a sightseeing trip with our guests around Krakow. The trip was extremely well organized, we've seen most of the most important places in the town and in the same time we got all the important information. The tour was free of any issues and everything (or even more) which was agreed before was delivered. It was a nice experience of Krakow, where you did not have to worry about anything. We felt we were in good hands. If you need a well organized trip around Krakow - look no further, you found the right people.
