It was a beautiful trip!...

It was a beautiful trip! Our guide, Milosz, was wonderful. He was so nice and helpful. We enjoyed the relaxing raft ride. What a beautiful country!

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!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your kind words! We're happy Daniel made your day special despite the fog and the cable car being under repair. The Niedzice Castle and rafting are truly unforgettable experiences. We hope to see you again for a full adventure next time! 😊

Excellant & not to be missed

janet_j, Jul 2024

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.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted that Artur and our team could make your experience seamless and memorable. It's great to hear you enjoyed the stops and the local tips. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon! 😊🌟

Lovely day out in the mountains

Priyanka_K, Aug 2022

This tour was the highlight of my trip. The driver Gregor was professional, polite and very accommodating. He ensured that I had a great day and gave me enough time to see the places and do the activities that I wanted to do. The views from the river and the top of the mountain were simply breath taking. I would highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2025
