Krakow Boat Party on the Vistula River with open bar, live entertainment, and a VIP Old Town pub crawl plus free welcome shots and photos.
“Really enjoyable 2 hours. 14 of us and all enjoyed doing something different. First drinks on the deck we questioned if there was any alcohol in. Once we got to the bar it was fine. Drop a few coins in the tip jar and you definitely get stronger drinks. Only down sides the diesel fumes from the engine and the walk to the club which we give up on.”
