Spend the day very actively and enjoy the trip from Krakow to the Morskie Oko lake. While about 2 hours of walking each way, you will experience the outstanding beauty of the nature in the polish Tatra mountains. Morskie Oko literally means The Eye of the Sea. It is a lake that was formed from glaciers and is situated right next to the mountains what makes the view even more magnificient. The water filled the empty space that was made because of stones. Now it is home for many animals and a place for people to explore, what also benefits their health. In Zakopane, take a trip up the mountain Gubalowka - cable car and spend the time at Krupowki street, the most popular one in the town. This journey will take 2 hours to drive each way depending on traffic. The driver may be up to 15 minutes late depending on agreed meeting location and time. It takes about 2 hours of walking to get to the Morskie Oko and another 2 hours to get back. Please wear warm and comfortable clothing.

Jacob was a great driver and gave us lots of tips along the way. We walked the whole way but I’d I did it again I would probably use the electric bus, and then spend more time hiking at the top once we got there! Beautiful sights!

Michael was a sincere humorous and friendly guide who provided insights and had a passion for local Poland history. We were very well cared for and comfortable throughout the 12 hour journey. Will definitely like to book his services and again for any travel !

Had a fantastic tour with Matthew! He was a great driver and shared insights along the way. He did the timing well to avoid the crowds and not have us sitting in traffic all day. Answered all of our questions about Krakow in general as well as sharing information about Zakopane. Highly recommend

Michal was brilliant, giving us lots of interesting information along the route. With a comfort stop before the first main stop where he took us for cheese samples. Then onto Zakopane where he distributed the tickets and sent us a link to the bus parking place. We had 3 hours to explore and that was the right amount of time. Michal told us the best way to experience the mountain and cable car and how to get to the main town street if we wanted. Overall excellent. Thank you.

The view is amazing and received good services from our lovely tour guide Michal! It was a hot and sunny day. Many cafe and restaurants in the high street and at the view point.

This was an excellent tour. Beautiful hike up to the beautiful lake. Breathtaking scenery. Matthew was our tour director and this was the second tour he handled for us. He was always prompt, professional, friendly, informative and made the trips very comfortable. We cannot say enough positive things about this company and Matthew. Thank you.
