Chris has a comfortable car and social distances. We asked him to do our airport-hotel transfer and four trips, Jewish Quarter, Schindler’s Factory, Salt Mines and of course Auschwitz. Went as smooth as clockwork. Chris is personable, knows his stuff and delivers in an informative way. Bespoke private service. Faultless 6 stars. Nice guy, follow this advice. You get what you pay for but he is a bargain.

The trip begins with pickup from your hotel in Krakow. Driving time in Pieniny is about 2 hours. Pieniny is a beautiful, unique mountain range located about 130 km from Krakow. These mountains are known for their rocky ridges, which makes them resemble the Tatras, although they are not high and are the beautiful ravines of the Dunajec. The main attraction of the Pieniny, which is famous all over Poland, is the picturesque ravine of the Dunajec raft, between wild nature and the magnificent panoramas of the Pieniny. The driver will take you to the beginning of the trip and explain everything thoroughly. Rafting down the Raft at the Dunajec River is about 18 kilometers long and lasts 2 hours. The driver will pick you up at the final marina. You will also visit the ruins of Niedzica Castle, beautifully situated on Lake Czorsztyn. You take the chairlift up the Top of Palenica Mountain, where a beautiful view spreads. After the tour you will be taken back to the hotel in Krakow.

I was a bit dubious about booking this tour as I done so via Viator and it only had a few reviews at the time, but this was the only operator offering an early morning departure. The communication before hand was superb confirming the pick up time that I had requested. The driver on the day was on time and very friendly with the whole tour extremely well organised and transport (minivan) very comfortable. Our tour guide at Auschwitz was absolutely amazing for one of, if not the most, emotional tours I’ve participated in. We had our driver waiting for us at the end to take us back and never felt rushed. I have recommended this tour via this operator to others and would not hesitate to use Poland Active for other activities in the future. Thank you.

We did a private tour with highlights of Slovakia and visits to villages where my great-grandparents came from. I was impressed with the extent of research Juri did into my family's geneology to find the towns, churches, and gravesites of my ancestors. When we visited these towns, we were warmly welcomed by a town official and priest who helped us understand the history of my family's origins. I was blown away! Our tour guide for this trip, Tomas, was very personable, extremely knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to travel with. He was a very competent and reliable driver, knew a great deal about all the historic sites we visited, and made our trip go smoothly. I wish I could have spent more time with him traveling about the country. I plan to go back to see the villages of the other side of my family and delve deeper into the countries' history and, when I do, will request him again. Thanks guys!!

We spent 16 days touring all over Slovakia. Our favorite days were the 2 day that we spent with Miroslav. He is an excellent tour guide and taught us all about Slovak history, culture and life style. The first day we went to Lestiny wood church, Oravsky Castle, Tvrdosin wood church and Vilkokinec Unesco town. The second day Miroslav took us to Bojnice Castle and Trencin Castle. Both were absolutely lovely days. We never had a dull moment as Miroslav described each town we past through including politcal history, employment and culture. Miroslav's personal tour was so much more informative than touring alone. I highly recommend his services.

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.
