Itinerary
Day 1
Private morning pickup in Kraków, guided visit to Tyniec Benedictine Abbey and a relaxed craft-beer tasting back in the city. Total duration ~2.5 hours.
Private pickup in Kraków (we confirm exact time & place)
Your private driver will pick you up from your address in Kraków. Please be ready 15 minutes before the main start time — driver will confirm the exact pickup time the day before.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your exact pickup address and a phone number the day before — the driver will message you with an exact time window.
- If you stay in the Old Town, allow the driver to use a nearby hotel entrance or quieter side street for an easy, private pickup (less traffic than Rynek Główny).
- Bring a light layer — spring mornings in May can be cool near the river; the vehicle is air-conditioned/heated for comfort.
Transfer: Scenic drive from Kraków to Tyniec Abbey
Private, air-conditioned drive (approx. 25 minutes) along the Vistula to the historic Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec.
Tips from local experts:
- Sit on the left side of the vehicle for the best early views of the Vistula valley as you approach Tyniec.
- Ask your driver for a quick stop at a photogenic viewpoint if you want a couple's photo with the river in the background (brief stop keeps the schedule).
- Keep phones/cameras ready — spring foliage in May makes the riverbanks especially photogenic for romantic photos.
Guided visit: Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec
Private guided walk through the Benedictine Abbey (Opactwo Benedyktynów w Tyńcu). Learn the abbey's nearly 1,000-year history, see the church interior, cloisters and enjoy panoramic views over the Vistula.
Tips from local experts:
- For a quieter, more intimate experience, ask your guide to point out a less-crowded terrace or bench overlooking the river — perfect for a private toast and photos.
- The abbey interior has areas with steps; wear comfortable shoes and the guide can adapt the route if you prefer fewer stairs.
- Bring a small coin or camera permission check if you want photos inside — some chapels restrict flash or tripods; your guide will advise.
Return transfer: Drive back to Kraków
Relaxed private transfer back to Kraków after the abbey visit — enjoy the riverside scenery en route.
Tips from local experts:
- If you enjoyed the scenery on the way in, let your driver know if you'd like a different return route for new photo angles.
- Use this short drive to change layers — Kraków's streets can be sunnier/windier than the riverbank.
- If you prefer a longer romantic pause, ask to stop for a 5–10 minute riverside walk — your guide can often accommodate if the schedule allows.
Couples craft-beer tasting (local brewery/beer bar in Kraków)
A relaxed tasting of several local craft beers — a private introduction to Polish microbrews with tasting portions. This is your 'special moment': a quiet paired tasting where you can toast together and compare flavors.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a cozy table or corner when you arrive — many craft bars have intimate booths ideal for couples.
- Ask the host for a couple's pairing recommendation (lighter beers first, then richer styles) to make it feel like a mini tasting menu.
- If either of you prefers lower-alcohol options or non-alcoholic craft alternatives, the bar can usually provide suitable choices — mention preferences up front.
Drop-off back at your Kraków address
End of private tour — driver drops you back at your requested address in Kraków.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm a comfortable drop-off spot (hotel entrance, quiet street close to your accommodation) to avoid busy traffic areas.
- If you're continuing with a longer romantic day, ask the guide for a short recommendation — a nearby cafe or park ideal for a stroll.
- Collect any personal photos or small items from the guide/driver before saying goodbye; it’s easy to leave a camera or scarf on the vehicle.
