We went on the Zakopane trip with our family, our tour guide Lucio was amazing made us feel so relaxed from start to finish never made us feel rushed or anything. He was so chilled and happy and made everything at ease for us which made our day fab. Zakopane was gorgeous very very busy but the mountains are just beautiful. I would def recommend going on the tour.

Fantastic communication from the tour organisers from the moment I booked to the return drop off after the excursion. Michal, our guide, was entertaining as well as being very knowledgeable. He kept us updated at every stage of the trip. We were a group of 4, ages ranging from 20 to late 50’s and each one of us commented on what an amazing time we had. I would 100% recommend this trip to everyone.

The experience was near perfect from beginning to end. Tour guide Marco was knowledgeable and friendly and made for his job. He kept us well-informed leading up to and during the tour. We toured on December 6, a Saturday holiday, so most stops were packed with tourists. The UNESCO village with wooden houses was quaint, but a drive-through would have been more appropriate than the stop and short tour. We could have used that extra time in Zakopane. (Two in our group spent over 2 hours in line, going up and coming back on the cable car, only to have less than 10 minutes at the top). The cheese and vodka stop was especially appreciated by the younger members of the group. The spa was modern, lovely and relaxing. There was some misinformation presented in the on-line guide - there was no surcharge to use 2 of the 3 saunas. (There is a surcharge for the nude sauna, where one wears only a towel). The locker rooms were crowded and difficult to maneuver because of the weekend holiday. These little drawbacks were unavoidable and not the fault of the tour guide. Besides Marco, kudos go to the bus driver (I forget his name). He guided that large tour bus through some very tight spots and parking lots.

Amazing day trip. Our tour guide kana was so lovely and very funny. She definitely made the trip just that little bit more special.

Myself and my husband (mid 30s) went on this trip today. We really enjoyed it! Communication was great, they tour guide sent loads of info I asked for before booking then once I had booked WhatsApp was used to advise of meeting place, times etc… picked up at 8:20am and travelled to zakopane with 2 stops on the way (one toilet and one village stop). Zakopane was lovely and had plenty of time (2.5 hours) to explore and use the cable car. We then did vodka and cheese tasting from an authentic little hut - this was fun! We then went to the thermal baths, we took our own swim wear and then hired towels (about £2) there are lockers included and everything is paid for on a water proof wrist band. We enjoyed the thermal baths, it has different sections so some was kids swimming pool and some outdoor jacuzzi type vibe. The journey is about 2 hours from krakow but the bus was spacious and you could eat snacks on there and leave your bags while exploring my places. Our tour guide haroun was amazing and made sure we always knew times to meet, places to meet and where to go. Would highly recommend this trip whilst in Krakow!

Lovely day trip to Zakapone, very organised and plenty of time at each stop. Our tour guide Kaja was very informative and gave us lots of useful recommendations for the rest of our time in Krakow. A great day!

A perfect day from start to finish. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone with a spare day in Krakow. Our guide, Olaf was in touch the day before to make sure we knew where and when to meet. The tour itself was wonderful with a stop to see the lovely wooden houses in Chochołów, the cable car up the hills of Zakopane to view the goregous snowy mountains, lunch in the town, cheese and vodka tasting at a shepherds hut and finally a stop at the thermal baths - bliss! Olaf was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and had a few dad jokes along the way to keep us all entertained. A highlight of our stay in Krakow!
