6.Polish Folk Show and Dinner From Krakow

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 80 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $57

The evening includes regional dances, live music, traditional costumes, sing-alongs, and audience participation. Bus pickup is from one Kiss&Ride stop near Wawel.

“Great value. Great entertainment. Most food items ok. Drink selection was ok, however would have liked better non alcoholic beverages ( they did have juice and coffee, but soft drinks had to be bought ). Communication on viatar messages need faster response, we were 3 minutes late- due to traffic - and bus left without us, luckily I had location of restaurant. Perhaps they tell people to meet time that is 10 minute earlier ( I.e we meet at 4:45pm and real departure is 5:00pm)... Also, better clarity on meeting spot-i.e parking or landmark.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 22 reviews · 2 hours · from $69

“Terrible experience! Cut a long story short we arrived at the location and were informed by a waiter that the river cruise is cancelled due to lack of staff and they offered us unlimited mulled wine instead. They gave us vouchers to use for the cruise to use on another day so we closed one eye. Shortly after, we realized that there will not be any live music/entertainment, nothing! The only positive thing was that when we complained to the waiter and manager they gave us the money back but we still wasted 1.5/2 hours of our vacation!”
