“This was a lovely sunset river cruise along the Vistula River. Our guide and captain was informative and very friendly and told us all about what we were seeing as we slowly passed by the river bank. Small tip for the meeting point… when you arrive at the dock you’ll see a river boat which is a bar/restaurant. Walk through the boat towards the glass doors as the tour boat is moored to it and you might not see it. Definitely worth doing if you have a spare hour in Warsaw.”
