What people are saying about Lesser Poland

Easy to book - Excellent value for money - Fantastic guide. Patryk was attentive, informative, and an all-around great guide. The description of the experience was spot on and even exceeded expectation. We were messaged the previous day with pick up place, time and type of car - number plate. It's definitely worth booking!

Afterall I felt that we could have covered Rynek (Market) Underground museum by ourselves without a guide. Nothing wrong per-se with the guide but un-necessary to have one. You can easily spend couple of hours walking around and reading.
