Zakopane Formula 1 trip

Paul_J, Dec 2024

This trip was amazing in its self but was spoilt by the driver from start to finish. Driver gave the impression he did not want to be there,car allegedly broke down then miraculously was fixed but nothing was done to fix it?? Arrived at our first place of visit no information given whilst other trips around us were getting told about the subject off their guide we got told to read the boards, other trips got to sample cherry vodka and the local cheese we got the cheese but he didn't have any vodka left? As i say the trip was amazing and the places were better than we expected but on our return journey the driver was driving fast excessively fast i.e 160kph with 4 passengers on board and snow outside i asked the driver to be a bit more cautious and was told it was fine the roads are ok i then informed him we weren't comfortable with his speeds and he asked.us what speed we wanted him to do in a sarcastic tone, not a nice situation to be in. Overall a great trip but hopefully your driver will be way better.

Worth the trip

Museum was impressive headphones used were easy to hear and understand, weather perfect, mountains beautiful. especially when you took the funicular ride too the top. We had booked an English speaking guide but our driver spoke no English at all so we missed out on some vital information regarding the area which was disappointing.He was very pleasant though.

Great trip, some communication issues

We were collected from Krakow in a nice minibus, and only one other couple joined the 4 of us on the trip, so a nice small party. We had a lovely day, and saw some fantastic scenery in the mountains, the location for the main stop in Zakopane/Gubalowka Ski Resort was beautiful, one not to be left out of your tour. The driver was a nice guy, and drove well, but spoke very little English. Sadly we speak even less Polish, so it was difficult to know what was happening next, and what was happening at each stop. Examples were a stop for cheese tasting, and a museum stop, where it was a case of follow me, rather than any explanation. The lack of a common language also meant we were not given any sort of information as we went through the regions. We felt that the driver had been put in an awkward situation, and he definitely did his best to ensure we had a good day. We would do this trip again, but would need to find one with an English speaking guide.

A fun and interesting day out

We were a bit nervous before travelling due to heavy snowfall. But our driver, Chris, was a careful driver and got us to Zakopane and back very safely. On the way we stopped for some smoked cheese which Chris smoked for us on a fire and told us some interesting facts about the history of the area. Once in Zakopane, Chris collected our tickets for the funicular and gave us a clear time to meet up at the end. We had around 3 hours in Zakopane which was enough for us to see everything there. We were back in Kraków at approx 5:30pm.

Driver and guide was very...

Christina_P, Jun 2023

Driver and guide was very pleasant and helpful, Zakopane was very busy. The driver got us back in good time

Beautiful!

A great trip to a stunning place. Everything well organized and on-time. Top class coach and good guide. It was a superb experience, I would recommend it to everyone.

Petite sortie sympa

Belle journée dans les Tatras. On a vu beaucoup mieux niveau guide et ambiance globale mais pour une journée semi guidée hors de la ville c'est plutôt satisfaisant.
