Excellent airport transfer with Adriano!

We booked a taxi transfer from Kraków Airport to our apartment via Booking.com, and the service was outstanding! Our driver, Adriano Borowiec, was extremely punctual. He texted us in advance to let us know he was waiting, provided his car number, and stayed in touch until he picked us up right where we were standing. During the ride, Adriano was polite, friendly, and easy to talk to. He gave us some great recommendations on what to see and do in Kraków without being pushy at all. Very pleasant communication and a comfortable ride. Highly recommended!

The salt mine tour was very well organised and great value. Thanks to Adriano Boroweic from GR8WAY dropped us off at the airport. Pity the trip to the airport was not longer as he had interesting stories about Poland.
