    I was surprised by the food and hadn't expected Polish fare to be quite so delicious! Highlights here included an impromptu stop in Krakow to try wonderful rose jam filled donuts, and also oscypek in the Tatras. Each hike was so different and we were... Show more

    The walk we did on the third day was wonderful (even if I didn't manage to get right to the very top!) - spectacular scenery; great, if challenging, walking; lovely weather (although Explore can't control that!)

    Enjoyed the whole trip, lovely walks although the walks in the Tatras had to be changed because of conditions. Am sure that the extension in the high tatras would of been a highlight but unfortunately couldn’t do it because of potential thunderstorms.

    The view from our hotel room in the Babia Góra National Park. The raft ride down the Dunajec Gorge. The majestic views on most of the walks when weather permitted.
