​

Is a guided tour for me: Our tours provide great introductions to Krakow and are a fun and interactive way to sightsee and get familiar with the city. The tours go to popular sites as well as some that you may not know about. Your tour guide will provide you with fun facts about the sites’ history and provide insider tips that will be helpful and may help you plan the rest of your visit in Krakow, Poland. The bike tours have a maximum of 15 people at a time and are completed at a relaxing pace. You don’t need to be an avid cyclist to bike the sites with us! This tour is about sightseeing not about sweating. If you would like more flexibility in what you see and where you go you might consider booking a private tour or renting a bike and exploring on your own.

 

Bring the Kids: We highly recommend that you do! We have individual bikes for children 130cm (4’6”) and taller; toddlers and smaller children can ride behind a parent or guardian in child seat attached behind the bike seat (max 30 KG) Your child will enjoy spending time outside with our quirky guides.

​

How safe are the tours: Safety is our number one priority. Each bike tour begins with a safety and bike usage talk. The tour route takes place on paths, trails, and sidewalks. We provide helmets (upon request) Our Segway tours include a 20 minute safety talk and practice session, which includes one on one training with your guide to make sure you are comfortable on the Segway; this does not count as part of your segway tour time.

Private & Group Tours

Who can participate: Our city tours are lead at a relaxing pace and are for the “occasional” exerciser – we welcome anyone who is in sufficient health to comfortably ride a bicycle. Competent children 4’6” or taller may ride their own bike; toddlers and small children may accompany a parent or guardian on a trailer tandem or in a trailer carriage (child trailers that attach to an adult bike). We do our best to safely accommodate special needs – please contact us to discuss.

In the past, middle school students, corporate executives, campers, and octogenarians alike have enjoyed our tours as a part of team building events, school trips, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, company outings, weddings, reunions, family vacations, and more.

 

Do you split up larger groups: For safety reasons, larger groups are divided among multiple tour guides, so that each group is no larger than about 25 per guide on bikes and 8 for segway tours. If you are not sure of the size of your group, you can reserve the tour with an estimate, and adjust the number later.

 

What is your cancellation policy: If you cancel your group reservation more than 30 days in advance, you will be issued a full refund less a service fee of 5% for a credit card payment or $15 for a check. After that the 50% is non-refundable, and the remaining balance if paid will be returned until 48 hours prior to the tour departure. There is no refund after 48 hours prior to the tour. Tours may be rescheduled (depending on availability) with at least 48 hours’ notice. Tours may be canceled if the weather makes for dangerous riding conditions.
