It’s a Beautiful Life

Enjoyable ride through a number of districts in Krakow with highlights including Old Town, Jewish quarter, district which contained Jewish Ghetto, Schindler Factory (think Schindlers list), river bank.

There were 6 in our group plus the guide, including two who rode a tandem. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, chatty and spoke perfect English. You stop off at a fair number of locations – think of it as a guided tour using bicycles to get from location to location rather than a tough cycle ride. Most of the cycling is on cycle paths and quiet or pedestrianised streets but it does include riding on roads with traffic around you at some parts, and trying to negotiate through large numbers of people walking (there are few bikes in Krakow so people aren’t used to getting out of the way). You soon get used to this though, and it doesn’t take anything away from the trip.

Only negative comment is that cycle helmets are not provided and not available, although speeds are never high.
