Reviews
A wonderful trip! We were supposed to have a Polish guide, Ms. Monika, but she wasn`t able to join us because she was either before or after her night shift (I don`t remember which), so the tour was in English. Monika also delayed our departure. I find this very unprofessional, as some people booked the tour solely because it was supposed to be in Polish. The tour description says it lasts 3 hours, but in reality, it took us about 1.5 hours (including travel). Overall, the trip was great, a fantastic experience, but the organization is a major letdown.
Great! The organization was OK, and the experience was unforgettable!
