Professionally organized and executed tour - We were extremely fortunate to have Kystof for a guide. Kristof was extremely personable, articulate and thoroughly knowledgeable on the location, relevant culture and associated history. Kristof went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed the experience. We cannot recommend Kristof highly enough and the personalization of the tour to our satisfaction
