The host of the tour, Michal, was very friendly, talkative and helpful with answering any queries regarding the trip. This, along with the amazing scenery, made it a truly unforgettable experience.

5.00We we're glad that we started our tour earlier and avoided the traffic in Krakow. Jacob was a great guide, we had a very comfortable ride and interesting conversations with him. The hike itself was absolutely beautiful, lovely landscape despite the not so good weather conditions. We stayed in touch with Jacob so that there was no waiting time after the hike, brilliant timing and a great ride back to Krakow again! :)
Great trip with Michael

5.00We had an amazing time in the mountain while hiking to the lake. Our driver Jacob was very nice, always making sure we had everything we need and all the informations. It was supposed to be a shared tour but it was just my daughter and I, which was good. Jacob even made some stops so I could take pictures. It was beautiful up there and worth the walk.
Hiking, lakes and epic views 😎

5.00This was a fab trip and the hike was awesome. Jacob our driver was very helpful, polite and informative. I met another solo traveller on this trip who hadn't tasted the famous cheese, Jacob made sure to find a stop where we could get some. Most appreciated 👏 the hike was long but worth it. There are horse and carts that will take you up or down 70zlt each way.
