    • Discover the captivating city of Krakow

      Cycle the city without missing a thing on this comprehensive bike tour of Krakow! Enjoy the benefits of bike rental and a family-friendly day tour suitable for children.

      You’ll ride up to Wawel Castle, Poland’s most historically significant site and former residence of numerous kings. Cycle down to St. Anne’s Church and get your courage up - you'll soon be cycling to the Dragon’s Den! Hear from your guide all about the legend of the Wawel Dragon, said to have lived within these dark, dripping walls.

      Riding out into sunlight again, feast your eyes on the Old Synagogue, the oldest in Poland, before you glide into the Jewish Quarter to learn about a crucial aspect of Polish history and heritage. Follow the Path of Pope John Paul II before you glide into the gorgeous green of the Planty Gardens, awash with blooming trees and delicate flowers. A solemn moment at the New Jewish Cemetery follows before you take in the façade of the Jagiellonian University, the oldest in Poland and the 13th oldest running university in the world. There are haunting secrets surrounding the WWII Jewish Ghetto, reminding visitors of the darkest hour in Poland’s history.

      Your bicycle tour continues to the Bishop’s Palace and onwards along the sublime green banks of the Vistula River, a favorite spot for sunbathers, which has its own dragon legends. Ride into Old Town Square and on to Kazimierz, a beautiful bohemian street of alternative bars and clubs which dance to a different beat.

      Schindler’s Factory is a domineering presence and a site of monumental history. Take it all in before riding on to the Franciscan Church and admiring the medieval city walls, before your final stop of the day tour at the Old Jewish Cemetery.

        Perfect way to explore the city

        · Krakow City Bike Tour

        This was now the third time that I go on a guided city bike tour in general, so I can now officially say that I'm hooked on this type of city sightseeing. I don't see any better way to get the idea of a city, but by touring it on a bike, and visiting the most important sites, with a local knowledgable guide revealing you the city's stories, and history.

        Very well organized and executed, dynamic, informative, and entertaining at the same time. Great job, guys!

        Getting to know Krakow on a sunny bike ride

        · Krakow City Bike Tour

        We stayed in Krakow for 2 days only, of which one was dedicated to a Wieliczka Salt Mine visit. Taking this tour on the second day was the best thing to do, since in about 4 hours, it allowed us to get an overview of the city, and learn about its history and origin, by visiting the main sites. We were also lucky to have an excellent local guide, who told us all sorts of exciting stories about Krakow.

        The tour's pace is very easy, and the route is very well organized, with a lunch break halfway through the tour, in the neighborhood across the Vistula River, which allows you to enjoy the view. The second part of the tour explores exactly this less-known part of the city, which we would've missed visiting otherwise.

        Big thumbs up for the complete organization.
