“BOOK BOOK BOOK! - All in all, this trip was amazing. We started the trip by being picked up from our amazing guide Pawel. He was very knowledgeable from the get-go, giving us loads of information on the surrounding areas as we go. We traveled in a very comfortable minivan, which was very convenient. We were in the van for approximately 1 hour before we stopped at the services to grab a bit to eat, go to the toilet, and then we got back on for about 20 minutes before we arrived at a small village to take photos, which was very picturesque. We then traveled 5 mins to the quad bikes, which OMG this was the best thing ever!” (Reviewed on 2025-03-12)
