An afternoon well-spent........ - We recently enjoyed a lovely afternoon bike ride along the Vistula River to the Tyniec Abby with Chris as our guide. He was engaging and informative, and considerate of our biking abilities (limited!). The Abby and surrounding grounds were beautiful, and afforded beautiful views of the river valley below. The initial wind and rain we experienced did nothing to detract from our overall enjoyment. Chris even offered dining and sightseeing advice at the conclusion of our ride. It's a great way to spend part of your visit to Krakow. We highly recommend!

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!
