Additional Information

Experience Warsaw’s sights from our vintage style vessels, where we’ll introduce you to various attractions like the Copernicus Science Center, the iconic Warsaw Mermaid, the landscapes of Old and New Towns, the National Stadium, the verdant parks and areas along the Vistula’s right bank, amongst other splendid visuals, including a contemporary center and the city’s beaches. Our boats offer comfort under both sunny and rainy weathers, being replicas of past vessels, tailored to navigate the Vistula River. The meeting point is at the Mermaid Statue by the Vistula River (along General George Smith Patton Boulevard, Warsaw). From the statue, head down the steps directly to the river, then turn right (south) and walk about 300 meters along the boulevard, until you spot the sizable white two-story barge, the Atalanta. Ascend the white gangway directly to the ship. On the opposite side of the barge on the ground floor, you’ll find the check-in for our two wooden boats. Please wait by the door that faces the river, our boat will arrive around 5 minutes before your journey commences.

Excellent value tour - Great opportunity to see the city from another viewpoint. The audio download was also very interesting for geographic and historical context.

Go for a cruise! - I was concerned that I would have issues with the downloadable audio guide. No worries, it was excellent. I really good overview of the city and its geography from a very different perspective. I enjoyed the cruise, and also the scenery from the river. things you just would not see from land became apparent. The staff at the venue were very helpful, and made sure everyone was aboar dand comfortable. well worth the time experience a different side or Warsaw.

Nice boat ride - The cruise was leisurely, and staff friendly. A self-guided audio accompanies the ride, so one can play and replay. One can sit in front, back, or atop the boat. It appears the name in TripAdvisor is different than that which is marked on the shore. Use GPS to accurately get to the dock.

Relaxing way to see a bit of Warsaw - I missed the tour I had originally booked because I hadn't downloaded all of the instructions and couldn't find the check in, so I emailed Maria, and she was lovely and responded promptly that I could take the tour the next day and provided additional instructions, which was very nice of her. On Monday it was a lot less busy than Sunday and it was great way to spend a relaxing afternoon on a very hot day. There is audio commentary available though I didn't use it as I'd already been on a guided tour and just wanted to relax and enjoy the sights, so I can't comment on the audio guide.

Nice trip for nice day - Pleasant tour on the river on a beautiful day. Our boat did not have guide as other one did. The audible guide online was OK but no chance to ask questions about other sites. But it was pleasant trip and personnel were friendly.

Leave it. Visit a museum instead. - There's nothing special to see from the river. Save your time for something else to do. The biggest in part of the city is too far away from the river to be seen.

Disappointing to say the least - Not recommended - No English translation of the sites. No overhead cover for when it rained, hide inside, but I did not get a seat. Boat captain did not seem like he wanted to go very far, so he slowed the boat down quite a bit during the hour along the river.

Awful - Having booked this trip, we were provided with incredibly vague directions which made the meeting point impossible to find. Having been stuck in traffic, we messaged the tour operator to advise that we would be 4-5 minutes late and were told that they would wait. On arrival (which ended up being 1 minute late), the tour operator was nowhere to be found and the boat had clearly left. I requested a refund from Viator, who advised that the boat hadn't left but they could not confirm it! They stated that in these scenarios, it is their responsibility to support the tour operator and not the customer! The worst customer service I have received in years.
