Great experience, beautiful landscapes, good organisation

The trip was very well organised, the driver Julek picked us up from the hotel at exact time that was scheduled, he was very friendly and very attentive to make sure our journey was enjoyable. The trip was amazing experience overall, with great landscapes, stunning views and most interesting way to see Pieninski National Park en Dunajec River. After the rafting the driver picked us up, and on the way back he recommended few other things to see and do in Kraków which was really helpfull. Overall really good experience, very much recommended if u look a bit of break time from the city.

We were very lucky to do this trip on a bright and sunny warm day in May. The driver was very kind and spoke English very well, we had a nice conversation about our travels on the way to the river which made the 2 hour trip go very fast. The guide on the raft didn`t speak any English, only Polish. But he was very cheerful and entertaining. The scenery was so beuatiful! We really enjoytd this tour, one of the best things we did during our trip to Poland,

Not only was the landscape worth it, but Mateusz, our driver, was an excellent companion during the trip. My sister and I truly enjoyed the ride south, the Church (which is simply impressive), and the main attraction of the day, rafting along Dunajec River. We hope to come again some time in the future.

It was good. Would have been greatly improved for me with English speakers on the raft.

Brilliant trip...fantastic views...well worth doing it.
