A thumbs up from the English family. - 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.

Wonderful! - 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.

A fulfilling journey - I really wanted to see Morskie Oko during my trip to Poland, but this trip is spontaneous and I did not do much research or planning prior. Thank you Piotr for leading me to Tatra mountain and Zakopane, and showing me the culture of Highlanders; he is informative and I had a lot of fun.

Trip to Zakopane - Amazing day trip! we had a group transfer to Zakopane from Krakow booked. Victor was our driver on the day and was great we chatted the whole way to Zakopane he drove us to each destination throughout the day and waited for us to do whatever we needed to do. The plan was to go to Zakopane first and then to the thermal baths but with Victor’s advice we did the baths first which was the right decision because it got very busy and was a nice wake up call. He pointed things out to us throughout the day and gave some interesting insights into Poland. Highly, highly recommended these guys for any transfers or trips. The price was affordable and well worth the money!

Great day! Very easy to navigate independently. - Our driver Diego was an excellent guide. While both the hike and village didn’t need a formal tour guide (both sites were very straight-forward one way in and out, so a guide was not at all necessary), Diego still answered all of our questions and arrived at pick up points as soon as we needed him there. He also drove smoothly and safely, and he had a great music playlist during the car ride. The hike was tiring but very worth it. There were countless small children and elders who trekked the whole way up and down, so I would say the hike is relatively easy, but definitely pack lots of water and wear good walking shoes. It’s paved the whole way, but there are “shortcuts” you can take up through staircases - but note that those shortcuts are very steep and rocky, with limited handrails. Because we were tired from the hike, we opted out of the cheese portion of the tour, but we were still able to go into the village and walk around the shops. Overall, we really enjoyed the day!

Great trip in nature - Morskie Oko - We had a lovely time on our hike to Morskie Oko. The scenery was beautiful and the path easy to follow. Our guide Michal kindly collected us from our hotel we had a very interesting conversation while traveling, which made the journey fly by. Would highly recommend this trip.
