Both the people at the company and the guide were fantastic. What I didn't like is that they notified us the day before that we had the activity at 7:30 am and not at 10 as it was originally, having to modify plans and leaving the hotel where we were staying in Krakow at 5 :30 am to arrive. The price is good and the activity went very well thanks to the guide we had.

I knew how long the trip would take, so I can't complain that I didn't have enough time. In my opinion, the number of people in the group could be smaller so that you could ask more questions to the guide, but that is why you need more time. And it seemed that not everything was explored, but you could always do it on your own

It is really mind-blowing! It is one of the things you must see at least once in your lifetime! But be prepared for big emotions (your own and the emotions of other visitors). Our tour guides English was unfortunately not up to par, which resulted in annoyance everytime she spoke. Most of the information she shared was also on the information boards. But she was very knowledgeable when asked a question. Would highly recommend!
