Today we had the privilege to have a tour with Maciej who from the very beginning, made us feel comfortable even though we had no experience kayaking. He not only gave us a mini lesson with practice time as we ventured on, but with extreme patience was able to adjust the tour to our needs and never once did he made us feel like we were getting less of an experience. He was also really knowledgeable and the overall experience was amazing. We can't recommend this company enough. We can say without a doubt, we found a new activity to do whenever we are in town. Absolutely the best customer service we've received in years and would highly recommend.
