Start with the ideas below. I’ll explain the options and agree the details with you before booking.

A journey that fits you

WHAT MAKES IT PERSONAL
Experience on the ground.
My cycling-guiding work has taken me from Kraków and Zakopane through Nowy Targ, Szczawnica, Nowy Sącz, Piwniczna-Zdrój, and Krynica-Zdrój. The connection between scenery, culture, and guest care is central to my approach.
Good to know. Routes and daily distances are agreed for your group. Weather and local conditions inform the final programme.

Read the full storyClose the full story: the cycling journey
As the local guide on a Zephyr Adventures cycling journey, I helped introduce international guests to southern Poland beyond the familiar city sights. The route connected Kraków and Zakopane with Nowy Targ, Szczawnica, Nowy Sącz, Piwniczna-Zdrój, and Krynica-Zdrój.
Cycling brought the landscape close. My role was to connect it with the stories of the region: Podhale, the Pieniny, the Dunajec and Poprad valleys, and the people and traditions along the route.
After the trip, the organiser shared very positive guest feedback and invited me to guide the programme again. For me, the route and the people travelling it were equally important parts of the experience.

A FEW USEFUL DETAILS
Frequently asked
questions.
How fit do I need to be?
Tell me about your usual activity level, preferred daily distance and comfort on hills. The route and pace are discussed for your group before booking; there is no single standard distance for every journey.
Can you arrange bicycles or e-bikes?
Bicycle hire, e-bike availability, sizes and any support are checked for your dates and route. Equipment and supplier costs are specified in the proposal rather than assumed to be included.
Can we include culture and local food?
Yes. Local stories, villages and regional traditions can be part of the route. Any tastings, meals or paid visits are agreed and itemised where required.
What happens if the weather affects the route?
Weather and local conditions inform the final programme. We discuss suitable adjustments and any consequences for arrangements rather than treating the initial route as fixed in all conditions.
