Per one customer who booked the Krakow–Zakopane: Cable Car, Chocholow Baths, Cheese & Vodka, "Really enjoyed our day trip to Zakopane. Well-organised, informative, relaxed, and also fun. Loved the cheese and vodka experience. Also, plenty of time to spend in Zakopane and the thermal baths. Mirek was a great guide (very funny) and Andrew, our driver, was lovely too. The views on route and at the top of the funicular were fantastic. My partner and I would highly recommend this trip."
