We were picked up on time by Wojciech. He was a fantastic guide. From start to finish we were looked after perfectly. It is quite a long drive but absolutely worth it. The scenery is outstanding. We enjoyed seeing traditional wooden houses and 15th century Church of St Michael the Archangel. Rafting in Dunajec was pleasant. The rafts hold 12 people and it was quite busy. I recommend if you visit Krakow allow yourself 6 days as there is so much to see and do.

From the first communications by email, I knew we’d found a great company to make our holiday to Zakopane special. Mine and my sister’s kids (aged 5-10) had three days of 2 hour ski lessons with Daniel, Magda and Marta who were fantastic with them. By the end of day 3 they could all snow plough turn confidently and use the lift on their own. More important, they loved it! Retha was very attentive, coming over to check how they were doing. She also arranged a fab Kulig trip for us all. Thanks Retha and team!

Such a humbling experience to visit, although was a key reason why we visited Krakow. So much of it is left to see & the feeling of walking through the gas chamber was eerie. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, helpful & friendly. We appreciated her knowledge & pace of the tour. There were a number of times where we were asked to be respectful & remain silent in certain parts, which really made me think about what happened there. Whilst what happened there was tragic, the tour and information was fantastic. It was split across 2 separate sites & as we had our own transport we met our group at the 2nd site, without any issues. If you visit Krakow, this is a must trip! Given the history of this place, it wasn't quite what I expected. It was humbling & just made us appreciate life a bit more.

This was our first experience of visiting Krakow The trips were fabulous that I’d arranged and paid for before we arrived. The hotel was in an excellent location The architecture of the city is amazing, one of the best that I’ve been to. We walked all around the city on the Planty which was an excellent way to see the sites Excellent prices , very cheap in comparison to prices for food and drinks back in the UK- unless you eat on the square which is expensive Would definitely recommend Krakow for a city break
