“Our bus had a flat tire, but we got on a new bus in about an hour. That was great and I was impressed. Our guide then asks us if we (a group of 30) wanted to skip the planned bathroom stop. We all agreed. He didn’t tell us that the bathrooms at the next stop didn’t work and those at the second stop was actually just a single outhouse with no lights and in discussing condition. A 30-person group that included several children and older travelers went 3.75 hours without a toilet! At the first stop, Filip knew things would go bad. He rushed through a few words and…”

“What a sweet and kind tour guide! Really informative and interactive with the group and funny sense of humour. Really liked the suggestions he gave for us regarding places to eat in Zakopane and even Krakow. The only downside was how busy each activity was and it meant that we had to rush round a bit to get to everything - this of course couldn’t be helped by the tour guide but I think for future travellers, this should be a disclaimer as for myself and my group this felt very overwhelming at times.”

At every destination he explained the plan took care to explain how much time allotted time. His lunch recommendation was fabulous. For an opportunity to view a little more of Poland than Krakow. I highly recommend. My teen LOVED the Thermal pools!”

We stopped off for some smoked cheese and vodka shot and again thouroughly enjoyed, wasnt too particular for the wooden village but we seen it. Last stop was the hot springs, adults area was great not too busy the family areas were chock a block so…”
