What are people saying about Krakow

Krakow: Zakopane Tour, Tatra Mountains & Cable Car (Hotel Pickup)

Emma_W, Oct 2026

Great insight into Zakopane region

The transport took roughly 1.5hrs each way (departing Krakow), to and from Zakopane. My guide, Kacper, was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He was a great driver too! The weather on this day (Tuesday 29th September) was perfect so you could see the mountains and take in the surroundings. Went on the cable car which is a must on this trip as the views are stunning. Make sure you check the weather before you go - it has to be a sunny clear day otherwise I feel it would be a wasted trip tbh. The other stops Kacper made gave a great insight into life in Zakopane region. Any question you asked of him, he knew the answer. Had 3 hours to wander Zakopane myself and get some lunch. Kacper recommended a few spots and I chose Goralski Brower. It had very nice views of the mountains although what I chose to eat, the broth with noodles, was disappointing. But the Aperol spritz made up for it! In all honesty, I wish I’d have stayed overnight in this region so I could have explored a lot more and maybe ventured a little further up the mountains. If you get the chance to do this, I think it would be worth it.

Auschwitz tour

A great experience that everyone has to do. Great tour guide who was informative and helpful all day. The tour was packed with all the right stops and information to get a feel of what really happened. Enough time to see and take everything in, but not feel rushed around.

A Sobering Experience

Standing in Auschwitz was sobering in a way nothing I'd read or watched had prepared me for. Our guide was exceptional: deeply knowledgeable, respectful, and careful with every word. The history was told with the weight it deserves, and it's something I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. If you're in Kraków, go. All other tours are just that, tours.🕯️

Long day but worth it

Salt mines were amazing. Yes, you have to walk down almost 400 steps. Not bad doing it but the next day - ouch - and I am in good shape. The concentration camps are somewhere everyone should visit. Never forget. Our guides were great - very informative. My only negative is that the day was very long with no lunch stop (other than vending machine). Would recommend bringing your own sandwich!

Great day out

It's a long day, but well worth it. And really good value for money. Our driver Gabriel was great and recommended a lovely restaurant in Zakapone. Unfortunately we didn't get the views as the weather was bad, but still good to up in the cable car. The thermal spa is the perfect finish to the day, make sure you explore it, as there's loads of different areas.

A lovely day spent exploring the hills of Zakopane and the thermal baths. The trip was so enjoyable and all you have to do is sit back and look at the scenery and put your walking shoes on . Very well organized. The thermal spas were delightful and refreshing and an opportunity to mingle with fellow travellers. I definitely recommend this tour.

If your thinking of it do it you won’t be disappointed

Quite an emotional trip when visiting the camps. So very interesting in the salt mines. Great guides. Our driver Michael ( English version) was fab. Polite friendly well organised and professional. Pick up and drop off as planned. Thoughtful of people who had some walking difficulty. Kept us updated through the day of the itinerary. We were also lucky all of the guests on our mini bus were friendly. Would recommend this experience and company. We took a lunch pack which was also catered for a vegetarian so happy all round.

A Real Salty Experience

Wonderful experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the experience better. You need to pace yourself because you’ll travel down three levels in about to two hours. I don’t recommend this activity if you’re claustrophobic. You’ll travel through some tight spaces. But all in all a wonderful experience.

Great Tour Guide

The transport bus didn’t pick up near my hotel. I had to walk about 2 miles in the heat to catch the bus. However the bus driver was awesome and the tour guide Anna were very nice and helpful. Our guide was absolutely amazing! She has absolutely provided a 5star tour experience.

Great experience

The experience with this company was great. We had good and frequent communication pre trip about timings, what to expect etc. Our driver Daniel was great- really helpful, always smiling, and made the logistics simple. Our tour guide at Auschwitz was brilliant- sensitive, informative and a lovely human. I'd really recommend this tour and this company.

Stairs were down. Site was beautiful.

The mine was educational, artistic, and beautiful. All but approximately 10 steps were going down. The floors were not slick. However, it definitely is a lot of walking. The guide was very good. It was great getting picked up in front of our hotel. The driver was very nice.
