"I highly recommend taking a tour or a trip with Bartek. He was warm, punctual, and very knowledgable. He picked my partner and I up from our hotel and drove us to a hiking trail in the Tatras mountains. The ride was very pleasant and we immediately felt at home and comfortable with Bartek. Once we embarked upon our hiking trip, we felt as if we were hanging out with an old friend who was sharing with us information about the area as well as casual conversation and laughter. After reaching the top of the hike and stopping for lunch (Bartek kindly translated the menu for us and spoke with the staff in Polish), we headed back down to the car. Bartek then took us to a funicular gondola with sweeping views of the mountain range; he gave us time to ourselves to ride up, shop around, and ride down. He very generously offered us as much time as we would like and encouraged us not to rush. He also helped us secure dinner reservations by calling several recommended places on our behalf. We were truly sad to say goodbye to Bartek when he dropped us back off at our hotel because we had such a pleasant and comfortable experience. I HIGHLY recommend taking a trip with Bartek and enjoying his peaceful energy, wealth of knowledge, and generosity. 5 stars!!"

"We had a wonderful day with Bartek! We stopped at a small village with unique wooden houses and got out and walked around. Then we visited a home where they made smoked cheese, which we roasted over an open fire and ate with cranberry jam. Delicious! Served with tastes of 2 flavors of homemade vodka. Then a wonderful 10-mile hike to Zakopane, which was so beautiful. Bartek was very courteous and informative. Highly recommend having him as your guide!"

"Our 2 teenage girls and us had an amazing time with Bartek exploring the mountain villages and kayaking on the border of Slovakia. The drive was scenic and we stopped at the castle of a 13th century Hungarian prince. When we arrived we decided to get a snack before kayaking and found a tiny little shop in a local villagers home where we bought local kielbasa, bread and cheese. We then kayaked through the stunning scenery and quaint villages and finished with a local dinner on the river. "

"Bartek is very knowledgeable and is the guide I would recommend to friends and family. He takes his time and has a passion to ensure everyone has a great time. "

"We booked the Zakopane tour with Bartek and couldn’t have been happier. He made sure that the itinerary exceeded the expectations of all 3 people in our party. Friendly and informative. "

"Highly recommend Bartek. He was very engaging and flexible. Learned so much from him about this spectacular city. This full day city tour was perfect for first time visitor. Great itinerary; adaptable to current conditions. His local perspective on many issues were invaluable. Can't wait to return."
