The amount of food you eat on this tour is epic so be sure and eat NOTHING beforehand! Seriously, one of the best tours for the money spent, especially if you get a tour guide as amazing as we did!”

“Transportation: Our transportation was bang on time, very comfortable and our driver was very good conversation too which made the 25 minute journey fly by. The Salt Mine: The mine is absolutely incredible, whatever pictures you see on the internet do it far from justice. I can honestly say the underground cathedral is the most beautiful and spectacular thing I have ever seen! How this place is not the 8th wonder of the world I don't know!

We had a wonderful trip - Thomas went out of his way to show us around the places important to John Paul II. My wife and I were extremely pleased with the overall experience and we intend to use Thomas for all our sightseeing in future. His prices for Auschwitz and Zacopane are very reasonable as well for such a private and comfortable trip.”
