The Eagles’ Nests Trail is a travel path which traverses the Małopolskie and Śląskie Voivodeships. Commencing from Krakow and ending in Częstochowa, the route is stretched 164 kilometers long. The assertion ‘Eagles’ Nests’ is bestowed upon it due to the castle ruins and fortresses scattered along its length. They earned the epithet ‘Eagles’ Nests’ because they are positioned on cliffs, some soaring as high as 30 meters.

A great day seeing a ton of castles! - I loved the variety of castles - everything from ruins to renovated museum. A perfect way to see the countryside, learn history, and have a lot of fun climbing up and down towers! My family loved it, even the hard-to-please teenagers.

The BEST day visiting the Castles in Poland! - Maciek was an amazing tour guide for us! He is extremely knowledgeable on all of the castles on the tour and many other places in the areas we drove through. He was even able to give us history/information on other castles that were not open to the public. Wonderful sharing of legends and tales of the area. He was very respectful of things we wanted to see and do. He even made accommodations for one on the tour that was having issues with some steps/long walks around a few of the castles. We had lunch at a restaurant he suggested! So many choices!! Best Goulash! ❤️ On the way back to Krakow, he continued to point out things for us to see in Poland’s beautiful countryside and towns. We had a very full day and would highly recommend using Maciek for any of your site seeing needs! I know I will be! 😊

There is no better tour! - To start with the views are amazing!! The stories were even better. Our guide was a wealth of information on the history of the castles and area. He even went out of his way to suggest places to see when we got back to Krakow. His passion for the history of this land really shows!
My friends were shocked to find out that castles could be found in places other than Scotland.

Wonderful day tour outside of Krakow - An excellent organised day tour. The castles and the views are stunning. Maciek is a very nice, helpful and knowledgeable guide. It was great that he tailored the program to our wishes as there were no other people on the tour on that day. Me and my kids really enjoyed the trip. Thank you Maciek!

The best tour and tour guide in all my travels - I cannot more strongly recommend this trip. This is by far the best tour I have ever been on in any of the many countries I have visited, here is a list of reasons why it is so good
1. For a tour of this many castles and transportation there it is a steal!
2. The guide is knowledgeable and friendly, who truly enjoys introducing you to his country and it shows.
3. You are not rushed through the exhibits.
4. You see more than just castles but the amazing Polish countryside.
5. The exhibits (castles) are breathtaking that pictures do not do justice.

Knowledge Guide, Amazing Day - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the castles and was great about answering questions. The trip showed breathtaking castles that no picture could do justice. This is the absolute best planned out trip and a trip that I would do again if I come back to the country.

Absolutely stellar tour from start to finish - This was an absolute highlight or our trip to Poland. Matthew (Maciek Szymoniak) really tailored this trip to our interests and pace. He quickly realized my husband's love of photography and made sure he took us to the best spots for the best pictures. We were amazed at his ability to know exactly where to be and when to have the best experience at each and every castle. They were all so different and we had not only beautiful visual experiences but wonderful commentary about the history, the people and the places. Do not hesitate one moment to book this tour be it for the beauty or the learning. Oh, and have to mention that we traveled in absolute comfort. We also booked the Zlipie villages tour and honestly after our experience, we know who to contact to experience all the facets of Poland - Poland Active!

Wonderful FD Tour seeing Historic Castles: “MUST DO” - My wife and I booked an Eagles’ Nest Trail Tour from Krakow with Maciej (Matthew).
It exceeded our expectations.
Our driver and guide (Maciej) provided us with a comfortable drive from site to site and once there he guided us through them.
His knowledge of each castle and/or ruin was extensive and he offered us narratives as we drove to reach the next location to be visited.
He was exceptionally friendly with a full command of English and was quite capable of answering any and all questions.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him and can without reservation recommend his trip to anyone wishing to see these incredible sites within easy reach from Krakow.
