Our guide and driver were both exceptional. They were friendly and personable and exceedingly knowledgeable. We enjoyed the modern history aspect. We also enjoyed getting to see Heritage sites that had not yet been converted into a museum.
Guide and driver were both genuinely interested in the information that was presented, as well as ensuring that we were satisfied with our experience. Of the 5 tours we have taken in Poland, this was the best.

Na wycieczkę do Nowej Huty wybrałam się za namową koleżanki, chociaż nie jestem osobą, którą ciekawią czasy PRL-u. Zostałam jednak bardzo mile zaskoczona kawałkiem niezwykle interesującej historii. Poza tym, że sama wycieczka jest ciekawa, to przewodnik opowiada to wszystko w taki sposób, że chce się więcej i więcej :) Do tego przejazd z centrum klimatyzowanym busem z sympatycznym kierowcą. Bardzo polecam!
