Our driver Lukas was excellent! Arrived on time and was full of information and facts on the journey! He made it really fun. Our tour guide at the camp was Anna, she was so informative and passionate about what she was saying and we learned so much. An excellent trip from start to finish, I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

My experience is really very emotional. Everyone should go at least once in their life to never forget. Our guide Jakub was outstanding. He spoke so faithfully and emotionally about everything, so that he did not leave anyone indifferent. And he lived through it all emotionally with us. Kudos to that man indeed. Sanja from Croatia
