Felix knows so much about architecture, food and other countries. He went way over the time limit and did not even try to charge us - in fact, he actually bought us coffee! Other guides have brought us to restaurants when we did not want to spend time eating and then expected us to pay. We asked Felix if we could grab something to eat and he actually tried to pay! Of course, we did not allow that and we gave him a well deserved tip. Thanks Felix!

Począwszy od komunikacji z biurem obsługi klienta, poprzez podróż w super komfortowym autokarze skończywszy na zwiedzaniu z przewodnikiem, który swoja wiedzą imponował wszystkim uczestnikom, oceniam tą atrakcję na 5*. Jestem pod ogromnym wrażeniem.

Notified in plenty of time when there was a slight change to our pick up time.

From start to finish everything went as I expected.

Perfectly organized, great driver, amazing guide :)
