Great way to hike when you just have one day!
The guide was knowledgeable about the area, the history and hiking. He kept us safe and checked in regularly. He was a conscientious driver especially as it was pouring on the way back to Krackow.

Driver was super nice and made sure we enjoyed the trip. Would definitely recommend this over going in a bus with 30 other people. More flexibility and a more comfortable way to travel
