There's much more to Krakow than the old town - This tour was impressive. We cycled 30 km on electric bikes through the outskirts and countryside of Krakow. To make it better, it was a lovely day, so we could go at a leisurely pace through a beautiful bike trail along the Vistula, a medieval abbey, some villages, a small forest and a massive living area and industrial park around the new university campus. Chris, our guide, gave us insight on the life of ordinary Krakowians. He shared his views and thoughts about the past, present and future of the city. We got to see the Krakow tourists don’t usually see. The pace is relaxed, but steady. There are a few hills, but the electric bikes made them quite easy. There is also some cycling into traffic, dirt trails and very windy areas, so a level of Cycling proficiency is needed.

Wonderful Scenic Krakow Bike Tour - We did the Polish Countryside and Tyniec Abbey tour and Chris was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and also patient😁. The tour basically followed the Vistula river on the way out and circled back through a forest so gave us an excellent view of the area surrounding Krakow on this side of the city. The E Bikes we used were a blessing for the two of us as we are just on the senior side of being young🤭. The stops were well paced with Chris giving wonderful commentary on the history and legends of Krakow and it’s surrounds. Highly recommend this tour.

Off the Beaten Track by Bike! - This bicycle tour was a wonderful way to see the countryside between Krakow and the Tyniec Monastery. The ride was mostly along good bike trails following the Vistula River to the monastery, then back to Krakow through some beautiful countryside and small towns. We stopped frequently for historic information and the telling of local legends, very informative. I highly recommend this trip!

Great ride, great guide - Chris was a great guide as my wife and I pedaled from the center of Old Town Krakow out of the city and along the Vistula River deep into the Polish countryside to visit Tyniec Abbey. The weather was perfect, the bikes solid, and Chris was simply outstanding. His patience with us and his in-depth knowledge of the area, its history, social significance, and ghost stories made for a perfect day. Highly recommended to all.

Scenic countryside cycle, highlight of our trip! - My partner and I did the countryside and Abbey bike tour this afternoon with Chris. We were blessed with good weather and gorgeous autumnal landscapes. After winding briefly through the city, we made our way onto a bike path and from there it was a pleasant, scenic cycle along the Vistula River. The abbey itself was stunning, and it was really fascinating to learn about its history. Many thanks to Chris our tour guide who was friendly and knowledgeable. An absolutely memorable experience - highly recommend!

Recommended experience out and about Kraków - Finally after two years pandemic, we were able to ride the Bike tour to Tyniec Abbey with Chris. A very pleasant experienced guide, who took us on a cold and windy afternoon tot Tyniec. He told us the stories we needed to hear, was funny when we needed the humor, helped us when we got lost. Tyniec was worth while, beautiful scenery and monestary. The road back was at dirst very beautiful, the last part through the suburbs of Krakow wasn't that inspiring, but on the whole this ride is worthwhile the effort, even for the cheating one at the back :). Thank you Chris!
