Fabulous tour of Wooden Churches with Poland Active
Maciej madę this tour beyond our expectations. We expected to see four wooden churches and he took us to thirteen as well as other interesting and unique sites along the route. "Matty" gave us background information on the churches as we visited each and pointed out interesting aspects of the structures. It was a long day but we were comfortable with his driving and his command of English made conversation fluid and engaging. He took us to a local 'fish farm' for a fabulous late lunch, as well. "Matty' made this the highlight of our three week tour of Central Europe.

A real insider tip to discover the wooden churches in Little Poland
We booked the tour through the provider's website. Maciej, our guide, informed us via WhatsApp about the pickup at the hotel and asked in advance if we wanted to combine the tour with another couple (we received a discount for that), which was not a problem for us.
We were picked up on time at the hotel and then drove to the wooden churches in the countryside of Little Poland, which takes a certain amount of time. Maciej repeatedly shared information about the region, its background, and his experiences and history - it was very engaging, and unfortunately, we could only remember a fraction of it.
The churches are truly special; in some we were alone, in others there was a guided tour where Maciej had to translate from Polish to English, and in one church, we coincidentally met the author of a book about that very church, who immediately gifted us a signed copy of his book.
Lunch was enjoyed in a really nice little inn featuring vegetarian Polish country cuisine, which is another aspect that truly makes this tour a hidden gem.

Unforgettable excursion to the wooden churches
A perfect day visiting the wooden churches of Malopolska. Maciel turned out to be a great guide: punctual, professional, a good driver, attentive to our needs at all times, and a great connoisseur of the traditional architecture of wooden churches. Definitely recommended 100%.
An unforgettable excursion.

Excellent tour
Amazing experience visiting all these cute wooden churches in southern Poland! Way more convenient going on this tour than driving by yourself as you also need to call & arrange the church caretakers to let you into these churches.

Wonderful wooden churches
This was probably the highlight of our trip to Poland. We were really looking forward to it but Maciej’s itinerary far exceeded our expectations, and he even showed us a couple of additional churches and a WW1 cemetery due to my interest. Maciej was a fantastic guide; so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and engaging. An incredibly memorable day!

Amazing!
This was an amazing tour. When I booked this tour, I had no idea of all the amazing churches that we would see. My husband and I would never have been able to see all these on our own. Our tour guide, made sure that we made it to all the stops plus many extra churches, a WW1 cemetery, stop for a local fresh sausage, lunch and if Matthew asks you if you like cookies you say yes. Matthew also does a castle tour and others. If we had time we would definitely book another of his tours.

What a wonderful and unique day!
The Wooden Architecture Tour in the Litle Poland exceeded our expectations.
Not only were the wooden churches (UNESCO World Heritage sites) impressive, but also the landscapes we discovered during this day trip were equally breathtaking. Thanks to Maciej (our guide) we had the opportunity to visit the main churches and gain a deeper understanding of the origin of these unique buildings through engaging explanations.
Moreover, we enjoyed a very tasty home made food cooked by a local family and discovered overwhelming views off the beaten track.
This is a perfect tour if you are looking for an exceptional day

Successful exit in all points
A program more than filled 9 visits instead of the 4 planned! a guide with little care, careful on the interesting road also made us discover the beauty of the landscapes beyond region.
We even visited a church of the xv not listed in UNESCO and which would deserve it as much as the others
a Beautiful Iwkowa thank you to those who opened it and showed us

Excellent visit to the Wooden Churches of Lesser Poland
It was a wonderful tour, both the beauty of the wooden churches and the excellent guide, Maciej. The trip was very well organized, all the details were taken care of: the trip itself, the stops at the churches, the spot for the lunch, etc. In some of the wooden churches we had a local guide whose explanations were translated into English by Maciej. He is very competent, a skilful driver, a very friendly person, we had a nice chat with him throughout the trip ... We could not have asked for a better guide!
