Our experience was very good. The whole tour lasted around seven hours (as we were informed when we made the reservation), we returned on time and were able to enjoy a nice dinner and drinks in the old town. Our driver, Patryk, was very kind and friendly. Our guide (I can't remember his name) was also very good, with excellent knowledge and gave us the tour exactly as we had imagined for this particular place, with calmness and respect. Overall, we are very satisfied!

our guide the tour sound like a movie narrator… He was excellent and really engaging and I'm probably spelling his name wrong but it was something like Matthias.
