What people are saying about Wawel Hill

En trevlig tur med inspelad guidning på engelska. Vi fick ta med oss mat från den intilliggande restaurangen. Var på på plats i god tid för att vara säker på att du hittar rätt brygga.

Very pleasant walk on the Vistula. Departure at 6 p.m., we were only 2, so a real romantic stroll. Very nice and discreet driver. A very good moment.

short but effective trip. Punctual and well organized. Too bad we didn't have the Italian translation

It was very beautiful! We went in the evening and had a gondola all to ourselves! Great!!!

Vale super a pena se estiver um dia bonito! Ver as paisagens de dentro do rio é lindo.
