We thoroughly enjoyed our... - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the mountains. We were picked up from our hotel on time by our driver, Casper, who was very knowledgeable and gave us information at each of the stops. The views from the top of the ski slope were fabulous. Although it is very much aimed at tourists, we enjoyed our day and would recommend the trip.

Great Tour, Awesome Scenery! - We deliberately chose this version on the Zakopane tour (that didn't include the thermal baths) as the main thermal baths were closed the week we were in Krakow - although some other people we met had done a version including the alternative thermal baths, and they said they enjoyed that tour too. However, if you're not looking to include the thermal baths, I highly recommend this tour. Our driver, Simon (Szymon) focussed on the driving rather than talking to us while we were on the move. However, he was very helpful at each of the spots, sharing information and taking photos for us too. It's worth making sure you have data and WhatsApp on your phone at the Zakopane stop too, as Simon shared lots of useful info, links and directions for the free time you will have here - including great restaurant recommendations to cater for most tastes and needs too. We were sooo pleased to have included this tour in our visit to Krakow, the views across to the Tetra Mountains are stunning!

Perfect day trip - A Wonderful Day Trip to Zakopane with an Excellent Guide! Our family of five—three from the UK and two from the Netherlands—had an unforgettable trip to Zakopane from our apartment. We were collected by our driver and guide, Stan, who was cheerful, polite, and full of interesting insights throughout the journey. We were blessed with clear, sunny skies, which made the stunning landscapes even more breathtaking. Along the way, we had many interesting stops, but a few highlights included a visit to Chochołów, a beautiful village with historic wooden houses, and a stop to try the local smoked sheep’s milk cheese—rich, flavorful, and perfectly paired with a delicious shot of cherry vodka. So tasty! Once in Zakopane, Stan provided us with excellent recommendations for lunch, ensuring we made the most of our visit. The entire trip was well-organised, good value for money, and made even better by having such a fantastic guide. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore Zakopane with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Thanks, Stan, for a fantastic day!
