CITY TOUR ~ 4 hrs

This is their ‘baby!’ This tour is what they started with and have been doing for the last 12 years. It is a best way to learn about new city, visit its highlights and orient yourself inside of labyrinth of path. Planty gardens, Vistula river and unique streets of Kazimierz are just a few attraction that you may see here. Despite being extensive, the tour is not strenuous and is suitable for all levels of fitness. There are plenty of stops for historical explanations and photo opportunities.
The duration of the bike tour is 4 to 4.5 hours, including a 45min break for lunch at a traditional Polish restaurant where you can taste some of traditional Polish cuisine: from stuffed dumplings to our favourite Żurek (sour wheat soup).
City Bike Tour begins everyday under the Adam Mickiewicz statue in the main market square. We meet first, introduce ourselves and the city, and after that we head off together to equip each of our guests with a beach cruiser of their own.
COUNTRY TOUR ~ 4 hrs
(Adult 33,5 EUR, Student 27 EUR)
Tyniec is a small town 12km west of Krakow famous for its 11th century Benedictine abbey. The abbey played a crucial military role in Poland’s Christian restoration and the nation’s rebuilding. Vistula river is the starting point for the tour. You will have a chance to ride on smooth bike path across Poland’s scenic countryside. On the way you will go back in the time, thanks to old woods and ruins of ancient forts. You will also cycle around some of the lakes that lies in close vicinity of Krakow. Before you reach Tyniec, there are many thing to do: exploring grounds full of history, having a snack, taking pictures, and visiting gift shops that offers the most unique products made by monks themselves.
This tour was created to provide you with most beautiful sights of Polish countryside. It is completely different experience than typical stop-start city tours. The tour begins in the afternoon and returns in the evening. We recommend taking backpack where you can put everything what you need and souvenirs that may be bought in the abbey. There will be also chance to capture Krakow during sunset at the one of the stops.
COMMUNISM BIKE TOUR ~ 4 hrs
(Adult 38 EUR, Student 34 EUR)
Not far away from Krakow’s Old Town, there is a unique place, strongly connected with Polish Communism history. A perfect model of urban socialist architecture offers visiting many interesting places, e.g. airbase destroyed during WWII, the church of Our Lord’s ark and the steel mill plant that once held Vladimir Lenin’s name. You can ride back in time, to see how life looked like not so long ago.
MOUND MTB BIKE TOUR ~ 3 hrs

This tour is for everyone who wants to take a half-day ride across numerous paths. It is appropriate for people of every fitness level, as the Wolski forest is minutes from the old town. The mounds were built by citizens in homage to two national Polish heroes, Tadeusz Kościuszko and Jospeh Piłsudki. Those are famous independence fighters who have special places in Polish history and memory. The guide will choose your descent adequate to your riding level. Traits are surrounded by the Wolski natural reserve: 417 hectares of forest.
OJCOW MTB BIKE TOUR ~ 6 hrs
(Adult 61 EUR)
Ojcow lies 22 km North of Krakow, on the area of smallest national park, and its landscape is something completely different from anything you have seen. This terrain was covered with seawater during the mesozoic period and this is the reason why Ojcow has its special and unique shape. If you are tired of history, Ojcow is a great place to rest and simply enjoy the views. Along the way you will have a chance to explore the castle from 14-century that belonged to ‘The Eagle’s Nests’; a collection of castles and fortresses used to guard the medieval trading routes. Although it is not technically tough, this tour may be demanding, since it covers 56 km and we recommend it for people who are on the high fitness level.
