What people are saying about Wałbrzych

A really great experience. The driver was incredibly nice. He always lent me an audio guide right away. He always accompanied me to the entrance and the meeting point afterwards was always clearly defined and communicated. He gave helpful tips and made you feel valued. The castle and the Riese project are worth seeing. With Projekt Riese, it makes sense to listen to the audio guide afterwards. The man who accompanies the tour has a quick step. All in all a really great day with great service! Thanks very much!

Świetna wycieczka, wszystko odbyło się według planu! Bardzo sympatyczny przewodnik z dużą wiedzą na temat regionu. O Osówce dobrze wcześniej poczytać. Zamek Książ przepiękny, robi duże wrażenie, audiotour się przydaje. Dziękujemy za super wycieczkę i elastyczność, Magda, Michał i Ola

Very interesting tour with two very interesting destinations. Audio guides help on site, leading through the respective program in an entertaining and very informative manner. The accompanying guide is actually just the driver, but knows the tours and provides additional information.
