Golden fall in southern Poland!
Daniel, my tour guide provided an amazing experience! Despite the early fog (to be expected in early fall) our day was beautiful- the Niedzice Castle and the raft ride were spectacular! It was unfortunate that the cable car in Palenice was under repair and I could not visit it!

Our guide, Thomas, was exceptional!!!! He was very knowledgeable and shared wonderful information on each place we visited.
Thomas was also an exceptional driver; we felt safe the entire time we were with him. I would highly recommend Thomas to anyone!!!

Breathaking Dunajec river
I highly recommend taking this day trip if you’re looking to escape Kraków for a bit. Our driver, Piotr, was extremely friendly and punctual. The views of the Dunajec river from the rafts were absolutely breathtaking. Overall, I had an amazing time!

Excellant & not to be missed
From when author collected us from our hotel our beautiful day began.
Our vehicle was spotlessly clean & well aired which was perfect as it was a hot day with a 2 hour journey ahead.
Author was a lovely young man who spoke good English, which is always a bonus when you only speak one language yourself.
Our trip was a lovely day with the river rafting the best part. 2 hours of peace & pure beauty. There was 6 of us including a 10yr & 15 yr old who both appriciated the day. Author was very adaptable to our needs & allowed us to cut our day short so that we could all be back in krakow to watch the semi final England vs Netherlands so the rest is history 🏴

Beautiful Sites
Communication with both the tour company and guide was clear, thorough, and prompt over whatsapp. Artur was very friendly and informative. We appreciated all the suggestions for places to visit around Krakow for delicious food and sites. Both Artur and the tour company were even kind enough to coordinate with local friends of ours who wanted to join during certain parts of the tour! We appreciated this so much and had a wonderful time at each stop. Highly recommend this tour and Artur is a wonderful guide.
