OUR VISITORS ABOUT US

1 June 2010

Dear Kate,

Please may I thank you and your company for your part in making our birding trip to Poland so wonderful. Jan and Elizabeth's house was excellent and we are so grateful for all their efforts. You would be aware that I am well known throughout the UK as I run national courses on bird identification. I would gladly write a very favourable review for you to post on the web and, in any event, will recommend your company for those intending to stay in Biebrza in the future.

Kind regards,
Steve

Dear Kate,

I wanted to write a quick message to say thank you for the great visit and send you a photo with the girls. They can't wait for their next trip and Taryn wants to work with animals like you when she gets big. Except snakes. Please let us know if you will be in Warsaw and good luck with your busy schedule.

A week has already passed since our great experience of the last weekend in Biebrza Park. It was indeed our first big excursion in Poland since our arrival and we will certainly keep these days in very good memory. We would like to thank you very much for your extremely valuable guidance and your very nice company.
We wish good success with Eco-Travel and lot of satisfaction with your work. We will certainly recommend you to persons interested in visiting this beautiful area.

Dear Katarzyna

.... I don't feel comfortable yet in town-life, with strong impressions of nature and wolves in my mind. I wish you a lot of staying power for your excellent work.

Ciao Katarzyna,

I write you just to thank you for the nice time that me and Matteo had during the hours we spent together in Biebrza. We were pleased to have such a friendly, nice, professional and prepared guide.

Hello

I stayed with my family four nights in Goniądz and called for an elk trip.

Unfortunately it rained too much and so the guide and I decided to cancell this trip. Your guide was a very friendly person and explained me where i could see some elks later on, and said that it could be interesting for us to see the "happy cows". Although this guide had to stand up so early, she did not want to take any money!!

I'm back home now and I'm still impressed about this lady. I guess that you could not meet such a person in my country! So let me say thank you again!

In the name of my wife and our two boys who appreciated the places where we finally saw 3 elks, we say thank you!

Best regards,
Roger Gasser

Hello Kate,

I write to say thank you for the day out we had with you recently. It was very informative, and you showed us some very nice places.
The Beaver trip was also a success, as we saw 6 Beavers and several Kingfishers.

It was interesting to meet the King of Biebrza and to see his Black woodpecker, we saw 2 more the next day, so we need not have worried.

I always write a report of my nature trips, and will mention you and your company in it, recommending that visitors have a day with you.

Thank you again and best wishes

Dear Katarzyna,
I thought I would write to you to tell you how much Stuart and I enjoyed our day out with you a week ago last Sunday. It was a wonderful day out and I will never forget it.

Thankyou and best wishes for the future.

Hi Kate,
Just a few words to say THANK YOU for the wonderful day you gave my father and I during our recent visit to Poland.
We enjoyed the places you showed us so much that the next day we spent most of our time re-visiting the same locations. The watchtower at Mscichy was much quieter and we briefly saw a Black Stork. I am sure that I will visit Biebrza National Park again sometime and hope that we meet again.

Katarzyna,

On behalf of my brothers and the 2 friends in our party, I would like to sincerely thank you for your excellent and professional organisation and the intensive trips that your colleague guided us on 21/22 april.

The red marshes were extraordinary. We certainly learnt a lot about wolf poo !!!

We hope to return again to see more of the reserve.
I do hope that you got some good TV coverage from the 22nd april interview you were doing. It was a bit cold that day !!!

Gentlemen (and Ladies),
I'm writing this in the coach whilst driving away from the most natural and beautiful area I have visited in my years of travel around the world. There can be few places in the world where you can instantly feel the soothing and calming effect of nature so quickly..
You have all been the most amazingly attentative hosts and the programme was really very interesting and highly entertaining. I must try my owl hoots in Lloyds and see what reaction I get from the dominant male underwriters in galleries of Lloyds.
I would just like to say a huge thank you for letting me experience such a special part of your country. The accomodation, traditional Polish food and music was exceptional.
Finally a special thanks to Kate for her highly attentative and informative introduction to the region. Once again thank you all for such a special few days, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and really appreciated the kind hospitality of you all.

Kind personal regards

I am writing it to express my appreciation for the fantastic excursion You organized for our group to a sensational part of Poland.
You will be aware that you left quite an impression on our group. Your effervescent nature, your ever-present smile, your spirited and positive outlook, your expertise, your professionalism, your warmth, not to mention the sparkle in your eyes touched us all. As magnificent as the nature was, sometimes it is the impressions of individuals and the people-to-people contacts that leave the most indelible mark on the memory.
You are a terrific ambassadrice for eco-tour industry and for your region. Do stay in touch.

Dear Ewa,
I cannot believe that it is almost 3 weeks that Max and I left the Biebrza region and I have already completely sunk back into our daily routine. But behind an intimidating pile of papers and blinking messages in the inbox of the computer it is good to know that there is a place and to have been to a place
where silence reigns,
where storks fly back and forth over pensjonaty,
where you can spend hours on a swing watching two horses, a goat and your son playing with the dog,
where the moon shines over busy beavers,
where a lazy rivers meanders slowly through a wide valley with happy cows and fake kings
where you cannot see the delicate spruces eaten by elk, and
where encountering elk is easily avoided by getting up only after 7 am.
Thank you very much for helping Max and me to experience all of this and thank you very much for you very knowledgable guidance and introduction to the park and for booking us into spectacular Zagroda Kuwasy.

Hello,
after having completed our whole trip through Poland and some other Eastern European countries, I still think visiting the Biebrza National Park was a good decision. Once more I would like to thank you for the nice guided tour-day we had and especially for keeping our food in your refrigirator and
for showing us Christopher's house. If I know people who are going to visit North-Eastern Poland in the future I will certainly recommend you organization!

Dear Katarzyna,
being back in Germany I would like to thank you again for the beautiful time we spent together with you in the Biebrza National Park. It was a real pleasure! I hope it was not to stressful for you to have
such an "intensive" group. ;-) Hopefully we see each other someday again.

Hi, Katarzyna

I remember also - the evening before: The dias from the National Park - You showed us. Really great. All people were delighted..."

Dear Mrs.Ramotowska,
we (including entire group of students) would like to thank You once again sincerely for your presentation and the guided tour in the Biebrza National Park. We really received a vivid impression of a beauty of the nature in Poland. We enjoyed our stay in the National Park very much and gained deep insights of the particularities of the natural environment in the East of Poland. Especially Your profound knowledge gave us a lot of important background information and helped us to understand the situation.
Moreover, to us it was particularly interesting to see how a private company is responsible for the public relations of a huge protected area. We got a very positive impression of the Park to ensure its financial basis. We thank You very much for Your support and Your brilliant guiding.

Dear Kasia,
I just wanted to say thank you very much for spending time with our group at Biebrza last
week. We all enjoyed it enormously and our journey home was one of constant
reflection on what we had seen, heard and experienced. It was altogether a
wonderful experience.
.... Your carvings look lovely in my house and have been very much admired already. Thanks again for all the help and knowledgable guidance you gave to our group.
Best wishes

Dearest Kasia
You do have the most captivating persona. Your engaging nature even comes shining through in an e-mail. You mix a sense of style with a healthy irreverence which is refreshing and intriguing.

Dear Ms. Katarzyna Ramotowska,
I would like to thank You all for putting together a memorable trip to the Biebrza national Park. It was both interesting to see the astonishing beauty of this Park as well as to meet people involved in its preservation. To go there was very educative and a true adventure. I look forward to another such trip equally pleasant and as well organized in the future.
