Absolutely loved our experience, the whole day was amazing and Adam our tour guide was by far a gentleman. He was very helpful and English was perfect. The cheese tasting was so cute and loved the vodka. Loved how Adam went through the history of the town and people and was patient with us all. The thermal springs are the high light of the show, an experience for every one. Great if you have children. The mountains were amazing and loved all the shops and different things to do. Wish we got to go and the sleigh ride or jet skis but didn't bring enough cash

Mike was fantastic at his job and was a very friendly man he made sure we were safe and that we had a good time in Poland I would recommend him and definitely book him again and want him as my tour guid the driver was brilliant too he got us to and from our destination safely

It was a small tour group. Patryck, our driver/tourguide was very prompt. We had enough time except for the wooden village. We wish we could have taken pictures there instead of 10 minute toilet break. But all in all it was a 5 star experience for us. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience would definitely recommend! Our driver Richi was very helpful, we will be visiting again and would love if Richi could be out tour guide again
