We were picked up promptly by our driver Victor and enjoyed a scenic 2 hour trip where we started off with river rafting which was amazing. The sights were stunning. The only thing I would mention is that the rowers do not speak English but that did not bother us. After rafting we drove an hour to do the funicular. There were cute little booths to do some tourist shopping if that is your thing, but we just enjoyed pizza at the top of the mountain with breathtaking views. Would recommend this trip to everyone.

What a great day out. This is a trip everyone who visits Krakow area must do. The scenery is amazing, the water is calm but still exciting enough sailing over rocks. Safe for kids and the raft guides are super entertaining. But they only speak Polish. So if you want to understand all the awesome jokes then bring a Polish speaking translator, you will pee yourself laughing. The booking company was great and the driver Milosc really cared about us all and made sure we had the best possible experience. He was very knowledgeable and tried to make the day unforgettable. The vehicle was super luxurious and the long drives were very relaxing and comfortable. If you are in the krakow area, then you must do this tour.

We were very enthusiastic about the tour with Rafał, he picked us up at the hotel on time and the journey began. He showed us a lot and explained a lot. What you should know, however, is that it is best to take a seat cushion with you for the trip on the Danube, the trip takes a little longer than 2 hours and the seat is uncomfortably hard. But it was very worth it.
