A brilliant day all round - A brilliant day all round. Mike was a brilliant tour guide so courteous and knowledgeable, he spent the time to share different places to visit and eat…I could not recommend this day trip more. The tour itself took you on a trip through the beautiful country side as well as experiencing the culture of Zakopane and everything it has to offer. Thank you Mike.

Fun Day Trip from Krakow - Fun little day trip from Krakow with hotel pick up. The weather wasn't the best but that's nature & our Guide David did everything to accomadate for such & still make it a good day. He even sent a bunch of useful information & reccomendations for both Zakopane & Krakow. Wanted to add i left my head phones in the van and he even got in touch & dropped them direct to my hotel the next day. A great guy

Trip to Zakapone - Excellent - I recommend a trip to Zakapane with the stop offs on the way. We went on 17th September 2025 and fortunately the weather was good. We went in a small van holding 8 people. Our driver Szymon was excellent - picked up on time and good communication. Took the cable car to the top with beautiful views. Outside dining with the views.

It was a great day despite the weather. - The trip was great. Mario, our driver, was lovely. He kept us up to date with his travel as he was delayed due to a car accident stopping him from continuing with his journey on time. The trip was great, and Mario was very informative. Unfortunately for us, the weather was against us with rain and heavy mist, but we didn't let this spoil the day. A good trip to go on.

A waste of a day. Ok if you want to shop for souvenirs. n - A long boring day. Our driver seemed more anxious to team up with his other tour mates than to be bothered with his paying customers. For example at Chocholow he parked in front of a church, told us we had 15 or 20 mins free time. When asked about toilets, he pointed down snd across the road. Some of us walked there, quite a distance in the heat, only to find a man guarding the door and demanding 1 euro to use it. None of us had euros so we had to walk back. Why couldn't he have driven there like other buses, or at least been more informative about the euro requiements. Herr was 5 minsbof our time wasted.

Zakopane drive by .. - Worth the effort to get a quick view of the area. A little longer drive than expected very busy route and tourist destination. The extra stops were just ok not great. The tram ride to the top was not really that spectacular as we were expecting. Once released into the main town down below was mostly one long uphill road thru the village with door to door shopping. Once again ok but way to busy/commercial for our taste and expectations. Main issue was really not enough time given for visiting the town like maybe 2 hours to do the tram and the town walk....way to short. Guide was great did what they could but overall would not do again or highly recommend...

Don’t book with this company and do the Zakopane tour. - Save your money and don’t go on this company’s Zakopane tour. They make it sound great but it’s not. You get a driver, not a guide. We had virtually no explanations of what we were doing or seeing. Every stop was souvenir shops. At the cheese stop, we had a piece of cheese and a shot glass with of a drink. Every stop is touristy especially Zakopane where we had 3 hours to do the funicular and shop in souvenir shops.
