    The scenery, the range of different walks, the views from the mountains. My experience was enhanced by the superb knowledge of the guide, not only in the walking aspect, but her ability to explain many elements of Polish history, culture and food. She was absolutely tremendous.

    It was nice that the choice to either walk or take a raft was taken out of our hands due to the path being renovated. The raft down the river was really good and very relaxing. The views were great and going into Slovakia was also really good. Pawel & Asha are amzing guides, good fun and answered everything we threw at them.

    No specific highlights. The weather and scenery was excellent. The walks were of a good length and level of difficulty that suited me. On the whole, this trip exceeded my expectations.

    The view from our hotel room in the Babia Góra National Park. The raft ride down the Dunajec Gorge. The majestic views on most of the walks when weather permitted.

    Enjoyed the whole trip, lovely walks although the walks in the Tatras had to be changed because of conditions. Am sure that the extension in the high tatras would of been a highlight but unfortunately couldn’t do it because of potential thunderstorms.
