The price may be high just for the drop-off and pick-up, but they came to pick me up on time. They were waiting for me after the tour. They drove safely during the trip and provided bottled water. It's a good tour if you value time efficiency and reducing physical strain.

We enjoyed the tour but the driver just picked us up and dropped us of. Yes,it was convenient but over 400zl per person is waaaaaaaay too much. I paid that price south of France for all day in Alps where driver was a guide as well.

Our driver was very professional, the audio guide tour was excellent. The castle is incredibly beautiful, you cannot pass through the region without passing by this majestic place full of history.

The transfer was safe and punctual. The driver prepared us very well for the tour.

Great tour, Szimon the driver was very informative and helpful.
