Mountain View’s & local delicacies
Comfortable ride up to Zakopane. Enjoyed the cheese tasting stop and the trip up the funicular for the Mountain View’s. Ample free time to get lunch, and explore the shops (if that’s for you). Loved the wooden church stop before heading back to Krakow

Well worth It
This was a fantastic tour to the beautiful town of Zakopane. The guide was very engaging and helpful, the town was beautiful with the added bonus of visiting the wooden chapel. I would highly recommend this tour.

Zakopane ski resort tour with thermal pools
Nice trip into the mountains with a couple of stops to view traditional village houses and taste the local smoked cheese and vodka, both delicious. Then up to zakopane to spend time in the ski resort and go up the mountain for stunning views. Very tacky stalls and shops etc . Then on to thermal pools which are not up the mountain but a selection of purpose built large hot jacuzzi and theres a pool bar too. Great experience all round.

We Also used this company to go Auschwitz 2 day's before and that also was faultless after all the stories I've read about some companies.. 10/10 for me.
