Reviews
Very good, wonderful views, OK organization. The trip met expectations. Recommended - Edyta and Jacek (trip May 30, 2026).
A beautiful trip, with breathtaking views. The guide was good, though I`ve seen more professional ones. The dinner was awful, like in the old cafeterias. Despite being able to choose from three meals, almost none of the participants were happy with their meal.
