Ojcow national park - beautiful nature - We got there by car (about 20 minutes) from Krakow. The nature and rocks are beautiful. We took many photos. There is a paved path in the middle. It was Sunday, so there were quite a lot of people

Great for trekking - It's far from Krakow so you must take a taxi. Wonderful trails and beautiful views. There are also cafes and restaurants on the way

Brilliant tour - awesome guide! - Brilliant day, and Matthew was an awesome guide! The visit to the cave was great - don't forget to take a warmer layer, as the temperature inside the cave is 7 degrees.
We were sent on our way to the castle through the national park, and Matthew explained in detail how to get there. On the way, we enjoyed a delicious smoked trout lunch as recommended by Matthew, and the view to the castle was fab.
Matthew met us at the museum, and we really enjoyed the tour - very informative and with a great explanation of the history of Ojcow National Park.
Matthew took us to the Ojcow castle ruins and shared a lot of information about the castle. He then drove us to the Skala Castle, where we had a comprehensive tour in and around the castle. Matthew was very enthusiastic and wanted us to get the most out of our tour, which we did.
We would highly recommend Matthew as a guide - he is friendly, informative, and looks after his guests really well.

Breathtaking tour of Ojców - This was an amazing tour. We were picked up at our apartment and driven to the Parc. One of us had a walking handicap and the tour guide accommodated is the best he could, which was kind of him. We first entered the park and first took a tour of the King Łokietek’s Cave. We then visited an old medival castle ruins. We took a break for lunch in the valley where we visited the trout farm and had the most amazing lunch of pierogies and pizza. We had a wonderful local blonde beer to help quench our thirst! After lunch we took a brief tour of the natural museum located in the valley. After that we have our way to the main castle and the Hercules club. Along the drive we saw beautiful landscapes and breathtaking views. Despite more walking than expected, it was a wonderful trip and definitely worth making the stop. Shout out to our guide Maciej who made the experience a standout!

Not enough time - Very picturesque place. Very pretty with plenty to see . Only downside on our trip we only had 4 hours from pickup to drop off which wasn't enough time to explore.
