Wonderful trip to Zakopane with Cracow Top Tours driver Kacpero - Had a fabulous day out with our driver Kacpero who really made the trip special. Brilliant driving, great information given all day throughout the trip, never tiring. I was so impressed as Kacpero is a young man mature beyond his years. I would highly recommend this tour through Cracow Top Tours. Every aspect ran smoothly from the initial contact, Kaspero arriving early to collect us, and the various elements during the tour. Definitely one trip you must do if in Poland and request Kacpero if you can as he will make it the best day out.

Great experience - Kacperro was great fun from start to finish. He was very knowledgeable about the area and everything he did was full of banter. Generally made the trip very worthwhile and I thought it was excellent value given the amount of activities involved. All round nice guy

Casper is an amazing guide! - Amazing trip Casper our guide was amazing. He communicated with me regarding pick up times and gave lots of great trip information. On the day he was on time and very bubbly and chatty. Always trying to make us laugh. He sent messages, checking we were OK and giving reminders of meeting points and recommendations for places to see or eat. Then when the trip was over he said we could contact him anytime if we needed help while visiting Krakow. An amazing tour and an amazing guy! You will even learn a few Polish words. 🤣

When you don't want to plan a trip to Zakopane - We decided to book the day trip to Zakopane as it was at the end of our Poland trip and wanted to leave the planning to someone else. Trip was ok. First stop was just to get us to buy local things, guide didn't make an extra effort to tell us about the history and culture once inside. Just left us to shop. We were basically leap frogging 2 other tours happening at the same time. Local tasting was fine, cheese we'd already had in other parts of Poland and a small shot of vodka. Both single portions, so not much of a "tasting" with options. When you get to the resort area, spend more time on the town rather than tourist trinket row. We fouled that up and ran out of time. Bathrooms will cost 4-5zl. The Thermal Bath was ok. Bit of a zoo and we spent the first 30 minutes navigating the space (where the locker was, where to change, where to rent a towel, carry it or not, etc). You can rent towels on site. The floors are extremely slick for a place with a bunch of pools! Our guide could have been more communicative, but he was nice.

Miserable drivers, poor organisers and terrible communication - The tour operator wasnt very good and the driver was better suoted to driving funeral cars, didnt crack a smile the whole day and was miserable as sin. He also couldnt communicate very well, he told the group a pick up time and then changed his mind whilst we were in the swimming pools, sent a text with an earlier time and proceeded to leave the place without us, they sent a messsage saying we would have to get a taxi home. I called the agent and he talked to me like i was a child, very rude. The whole group luckily stopped him and informed him hes been inconsistent with his times all day. When we returned to the car (at the correct time) we had nothing but attitude and despite all people in the bus telling him he messed up, we didnt even get an apology. The places we visited were great, highly recommend the spas and mointain visit / town. Although cheese tasting and vodka was a bit of a joke! One grilled rubbery cheese and a shot of vodka the happy chappy driver whipped out of his boot of the car.
