“Unforgettable hike - We went on this trip with my family including 2 kids.. I was worried that the hike will be hard for the kids and hear a lot of complaints from them. Not only did we as adults enjoyed the trip but also the kids enjoyed more than us. Michal was so patient with us and made the trip extra nice and fun for the kids. My husband was also injured before the hike and Michal was very helpful and supportive. He kept checking on him if he was doing fine and kept telling him that we can always make adjustments as per your needs. When I come back to the same country we will make sure to go for another tour.” - Reviewed at 2024-08-26

The ensemble consisted of two violins, a cembalom (hammered dulcimer), and a lady that alternated between string bass and cello. Two of the members of the group sang as well and another solo singer did lot of the old Czech folk songs. There was also another dance couple that was great. The music was really great. It ranged from folk music Very reminiscent of the Hungarian and Roma music – really beautiful harmonies, to classical as well as favorite songs of the audience members from many different countries represented. You could tell that each musician was a virtuoso in their own right. Various other folk instruments were highlighted such as bagpipes and a kind of alpine horn instrument.
