What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors generally find the Black Trout Adit boat tour to be an engaging and historically informative experience, with guides often praised for their friendliness and knowledge. However, some feel the attraction is overpriced for the relatively short and straightforward nature of the tunnel, and language barriers can be an issue for non-Polish speakers.
"Definitely a must-see attraction! The 45-minute boat trip was incredibly engaging (tho safely shaky sometimes), offering a great dose of local history. Our guides were fantastic - friendly, funny, and super informative.
A pro tip: allow extra time for arrival. From the nearest road, it's about a fifteen-twenty minute walk through some woods to get to the meeting point."
