Lovely tour to Poland's beautiful countryside! - Our guide and driver were terrific, and took very good care of us. The town and the painted houses were beautiful. We visited a small museum first, then several private houses and gardens, and were able to meet some of the artisans themselves. There were also opportunities to buy some handpainted crafts directly from the artists. This was a great opportunity to get a bit off the beaten tourist path.

Painted Houses- Great Experience! - Our guide, Matthew, helped make this a wonderful experience. He was easy to talk to and answered all of our questions. We saw beautiful countryside and enjoyed the painted houses. It would have been very difficult to do this on our own. Matthew had relationships with some of the home owners. It felt like a very personalized experience. We highly recommend this tour.

Unique and beautiful cultural experience - Want to experience something totally unique and feel the culture of tradition combined with lovely countryside? This is the tour for you. Our guide Mathew (Maciej Szymoniak) was exceptional. We had the pleasure of traveling on the Eagle Nest Castle tour earlier in the week and were thrilled to be with him again. We met people, saw the insides of their homes and experienced a very heartwarming and beautiful tradition. Everywhere we went we were warmly welcomed. It is clear Poland Active has invested in getting to know the people and their families. We were so glad we booked this tour. It is something even as well traveled individuals that we have never experienced before. Very special and beautiful.

Wonderful tour, one of a kind experience - Our day in Zalipie was the highlight of our long weekend in Krakow. My 26-year old daughter and I took dozens of photos of the many houses we were able to see. The interiors were extra special, as was the opportunity to meet one of the artists. Mathew was knowledgeable and a terrific guide; he knew exactly which houses to visit and where we could get up close. So glad we decided to take the tour, we would have not met the artist or seen so much on our own.
