5.00An amazing trip and absolute must if you visit Krakow and want to see more medieval history! Our guide Maciej was outstanding and brought the trip to life. He let us wander at the right moments and shared his great enthusiasm for Poland, its culture, people and history. Prep for the weather, lots of walking and steps - 6 castles and a desert over 10+ hours
A unique and interesting tour.

5.00Matthew communicated very well with my husband and I prior to our booking. We were able to see and explore a number of the Eagles Nest castles both ruins and those that have been renovated. He was very knowledgeable about Polish history and the history of this region. We were able to stop for an excellent lunch. I would describe this as a very active tour but Matthew always stopped to make sure we were comfortable with any hiking or moving through the historic sites. We would definitely recommend this tour and would be happy to book another tour with him.
Fantastic tour with our guide, Matthew!

5.00You could truly feel his passion for the historic sites, and the hospitality was exceptional. Even though the tour ran longer than planned after we changed the order of the castles we visited, it worked out wonderfully for us. Matthew never made us feel rushed and ensured we had a great experience at every stop. The sites were all beautiful, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a genuine adventure off the typical tourist path. Matthew also took the time to show us the best spots for photos. A big thank you to Matthew — we especially loved hearing his funny stories about his son’s vacuum cleaner obsession!
Wonderful castles tour

5.00Wonderful itinerary and a professional guide/ driver in Maciej makes this tour something not to be missed. While a long day trip, it covers quite a few castles and history of that area of Poland. Highly recommended
The Best Day!

5.00We had the most epic day with Maciej as our guide! He is helpful, friendly, and so knowledgeable about the history of area and the castles. He took time to get to know members of our group, accommodated for bad knees, and went out of his way to create multiple special memories for us. He is truly passionate about providing a fabulous experience. The Eagle’s Nest Tour created lifetime memories, and the day was made special by Maciej!
Best day ever!

5.00Our tour guide Maciej was absolutely incredible. He made it the best day ever. He made sure we stayed on schedule and planned everything so well so that we could miss the crowds and see everything in the best order and not miss anything. He made sure everyone was comfortable the whole time and was knowledgeable about every castle and the history and of krakow and Poland. He was the most accommodating person and went out of his way to help each one of us in specific ways that was above and beyond our expectations. Some of us have trouble with stairs and he made sure to find a way around some of the stairs and let those who wanted to explore more to have that opportunity. For those of us who are claustrophobic and can’t be in an elevator, he guided me personally up the stairs instead. He ran ahead of us the entire time to make sure to pull the car around and get the tickets by the time we got to each place. He pulled out a stool each of the hundred times we got in and out of the van to accommodate those who have more mobility issues. Someone in our group desperately wanted to buy a souvenir magnet and it was cash only and Maciej ended up buying it for him which was just so kind. I would recommend bringing cash with you!! The tour ended up being 12.5 hours. It was my birthday and it was the best day ever. With a different tour guide it would have been a much different experience. The small group of the four of us (plus Maciej) was such a great way to experience the trip. Every one of the six castles was unique and special in its own way and worth seeing. I would absolutely recommend this trip and especially our tour guide!
Great way to spend the day and learn about Poland!

5.00Maciej Is a great guide and has so much information to share. His love of Poland and his depth of knowledge about its history was on display the whole day. My wife and I were happy to spend our last full day of vacation visiting the amazing castles and the Polish countryside near Krakow.
