5.00A perfect day visiting the wooden churches of Malopolska. Maciel turned out to be a great guide: punctual, professional, a good driver, attentive to our needs at all times, and a great connoisseur of the traditional architecture of wooden churches. Definitely recommended 100%. An unforgettable excursion.
Excellent tour

5.00Amazing experience visiting all these cute wooden churches in southern Poland! Way more convenient going on this tour than driving by yourself as you also need to call & arrange the church caretakers to let you into these churches.
Wonderful wooden churches

5.00This was probably the highlight of our trip to Poland. We were really looking forward to it but Maciej’s itinerary far exceeded our expectations, and he even showed us a couple of additional churches and a WW1 cemetery due to my interest. Maciej was a fantastic guide; so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and engaging. An incredibly memorable day!
Amazing!

5.00This was an amazing tour. When I booked this tour, I had no idea of all the amazing churches that we would see. My husband and I would never have been able to see all these on our own. Our tour guide, made sure that we made it to all the stops plus many extra churches, a WW1 cemetery, stop for a local fresh sausage, lunch and if Matthew asks you if you like cookies you say yes. Matthew also does a castle tour and others. If we had time we would definitely book another of his tours.
What a wonderful and unique day!

5.00The Wooden Architecture Tour in the Litle Poland exceeded our expectations. Not only were the wooden churches (UNESCO World Heritage sites) impressive, but also the landscapes we discovered during this day trip were equally breathtaking. Thanks to Maciej (our guide) we had the opportunity to visit the main churches and gain a deeper understanding of the origin of these unique buildings through engaging explanations. Moreover, we enjoyed a very tasty home made food cooked by a local family and discovered overwhelming views off the beaten track. This is a perfect tour if you are looking for an exceptional day
Interesting tour

5.00A program more than filled 9 visits instead of the 4 planned! a guide with little care, careful on the interesting road also made us discover the beauty of the landscapes beyond region. We even visited a church of the xv not listed in UNESCO and which would deserve it as much as the others a Beautiful Iwkowa thank you to those who opened it and showed us

5.00It was a wonderful tour, both the beauty of the wooden churches and the excellent guide, Maciej. The trip was very well organized, all the details were taken care of: the trip itself, the stops at the churches, the spot for the lunch, etc. In some of the wooden churches we had a local guide whose explanations were translated into English by Maciej. He is very competent, a skilful driver, a very friendly person, we had a nice chat with him throughout the trip ... We could not have asked for a better guide!
Priceless and unique experience!

5.00Maciej Szymniak was a superb and careful driver over a journey of about 10-plus hours and 300 km. He was an even better guide throughout. This was the highlight of our trip to Poland and we would not have been able to see these wonderful UNESCO wooden churches on our own by renting a car since Maciej called ahead to arrange that the churches would be open for us and a local guide provided when available, We saw much else as well, beyond the UNESCO sites. A truly wonderful experience with a delightful and knowledgeable guide/driver!
Excellent experience in Poland

5.00Our family had a wonderful time on this excursion visiting many of the wooden UNESCO churches of Poland. Our guide, Maciej (Matthew), was absolutely wonderful. His communication was excellent both leading up to the trip and during the day together. He had the route well planned and that included coffee or other stops along the way. His company, Poland Active, has many other types of excursions too, all of which look interesting. We highly recommend him and this company to you.
