Great Experience - Our tour guide was helpful and eager to share. The local smoked cheese we sampled was delicious incredible…maybe even better than steak. Zakopane offered some beautiful vistas. But the thermal springs was the best part. Really cool place!

Excellent, Full Day Out With Plenty to See and Do. - We had an excellent time on our trip to Zakopane. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and had a good sense of humour. The day was well planned out, and the tour guide was clear when it came to how long until our next destination, how long we had in each location and where we had to meet up. We had ample time to do what we wanted to do in each place. Some of the destinations are busy (not that this is the tour's fault!), so be prepared. Chocholow- We had a brief stop at Chocholow to stretch our legs and use the toilets (you have to pay for). Our guide told us about the architecture of the traditional houses and the church, and we had a chance to have a quick look around. Witow- A longer stop this time for some grilled oscypek and vodka liqueur (great combination). On a clear day we had lovely views from the base of the mountains and had a chance to take a picture of us with a wooden oscypek sculpture. Zakopane- Zakopane, though surrounded by stunning scenery, is rather touristy and crowded (which is to be expected as it is a skiing destination) and the town itself is nothing overly special. The market is okay at best, there is some stalls selling real local goods, but the majority is mass produced souvenirs. The real attraction here is going to the top of the mountain for the views which are excellent and getting a longer stop to get some lunch (we recommend the zapiekanka stall, Smaczek, which is just past the market, on the road next to the pharmacy. Chocholowskie Termy- The last stop, the Hot Springs Complex was a nice way to end. Our guide laid out where everything was before entering so we had a good idea of where to go. It was quite busy again, but it wasn't too overcrowded that our experience was affected. There are a variety of pools and baths to choose from, as well as saunas and steam rooms. We had plenty of time to get a good look around!

Amazing day at Zakopane and the hot springs - We had had the best day exploring the Polish mountains and getting acquainted with the traditional Polish way of living . Our guide Stanislaw made us feel very at home and took great care to make sure we were comfortable at all times. He was committed to ensuring we had the most authentic experience possible and was more than happy to answer all our questions. We had a very relaxing end to our day at the hot springs and all in all if I had the chance to come back, I would definitely spend all day walking in the wonder that that is Zakopane. 10/10 experience.

Misleading - I found this misleading as it says cable car to the mountains and that wasn't the case at all. The tour operator was a great guy and so was the driver. When talking to the tour operator he even said the title was a bit misleading. I overall had a nice time and the group of people I met was really nice people. But the tour itself wasnt what I expected. It was a funicular that took us up an hill, not a cable car and once we was on top of hill we looked at the mountains but didn't go to them as thats what I thought. Bit disappointed.
