Tom was a fantastic guide! He was very patient with Spanish punctuality and siesta time. He always had a big smile on his face. He recommended great places to eat and was very attentive! A big hug to Tom from your Spanish friends Alejandro and company!

We’re glad to hear you found our driver pleasant and professional. Before the tour, we do inform our guests that this is a high season period and that Zakopane can be very busy, with large numbers of visitors. Zakopane is indeed a popular and lively mountain town, especially during peak times, which can feel overwhelming for those who prefer quieter places.

We had a lovely trip to Zakopane! David our driver was very nice & polite. He made sure we had everything we needed and all of the information for our trip. Very clean & tidy van 👌 would definitely recommend 😊

Our tour guide, Daniel, was excellent. Tour included pickup from our hotel. The stops along the way were well thought out. Daniel provided plenty of background information about the stops. The tour included 3 hours for Gubalowka and time for a walk in Zakopane. If anything, I would like a little more time there than the 3 hours allotted.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you, thank you, thank you! We’re absolutely delighted you had such a great time!

A great way to explore the highland area of Poland near the Slovakia border. We enjoyed the range of activities and the free time to explore on our own. Ivan was a great guide. He shares his knowledge effectively, has great taste in music, and is fun.
Troy_L, Apr 2025
I really enjoyed this experience. Our tour guide Peter was very good, nice, friendly, helpful. I recommend this trip for a quick trip to Zakopane and to see beautiful views from Gubałówka
Jo_H, Apr 2025
Great trip. Peter, our driver was very knowledgeable and helpful. Lots to see and very different to Krakow.
cheryl_c, Apr 2025
Ivan gave us assurance and clarification before our trip to remove any doubt about pick up and timings, he remained this organised the whole day, keeping contact by wats app and giving us tips on there too! He was informative and took us to several stops and gave us enough time to explore on our own a lovely day trip and a friendly tour guide
traceykinseyhotmailc, Jan 2025
Wonderful experience. The whole area is breathtaking. Must be seen. We went when there was a lot of snow but I bet it’s just as stunning in the summer.

We had an amazing time booking this tour last minute for our last day in Krakow. The communication beforehand was brilliant and Kamil the guide was friendly, funny, informative and all around great from start to finish. We started with a visit to one of the wooden houses where I picked up a lovely handmade Christmas ornament (take cash!), then on to tasking oscypek and quince vodka (now addicted to oscypek 😂) and bought some to take home (cash needed again). Then on to Zakopane for the funicular ride which was amazing with the snow and views from the top. Perfect amount of time to go exploring, have food and explore the markets. We took Kamils suggestion of where to eat and we’re not disappointed. The views on the bus on the way to Zakopane were also amazing. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone debating it, such good value for money and you will not be disappointed. Thanks Kamil & to the lovely driver for a great day start to finish.

Our trip to zakopane was beautiful, brilliant guide, scenery fantastic, comfortable coach, excellent value for money
Julienne_S, Nov 2024
It was a great day starting with a stop in the quaint town of the wooden houses. The next stop at a shepherd’s hut and tasting the cheese and cherry liqueur followed by time in Zakopane to explore views from the mountain and walking through the town exploring its shops, restaurants etc. we stopped at two other highlights in the area before heading back to Krakow. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. It was a great day!
Linda_M, Oct 2024
Michael was fantastic. We had a lovely day. He was very informative and provided us with great memories and experiences
AnaMaria_S, Oct 2024
We covered a lot of ground on this day trip, starting with a stop in the wooden village, visiting a wooden church, seeing the Tatra Mountains, and ending with some leisure time in Zakopane. Our guide Michael was very informative, funny, and easy to be with. I appreciate his flexibility and additional inclusion of taking the ski lift since the cable car was not working. We also lucked out with perfect sunny weather and great views of the changing fall foliage. Highly recommend.
barb_p, Sep 2024
Mike was amazing!!! He was personable and funny too! He made sure we were all set st each spot and was always available to answer questions. He sent us information and gave us some great ideas. 100% would book the tour again!!!!
Jennifer_W, Sep 2024
The tour was worth taking and a good value. Our tour guide spoke great English, was friendly, and picked us up at our hotel promptly. We had just the right amount of time in each location. The only reason I did not give this five stars because I thought our destination was a bit touristy, but that is not the tour’s fault.

Our trip was focused in Krakow, with a visit to Auschwitz early in the week. This trip to Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains was an excellent way to get out of the city and see the Highlands. Enjoyed the opportunity to stretch our legs during the drive. I enjoyed the cheese (bought some to take home), and driving thru Choctow. Our guide Michal was extremely kind and patient, as I have breathing issues and was struggling a bit with the attitude, and my travel partner walks with a cane. He revommended places to eat, and we were very excited to see that one I had investigated prior was on the list. Bakowo Zohylino Niznio was an incredible place to eat. The atmosphere was rustic and traditional of the Highlands, food was excellent and portions generous. He ensured my partner and I made it to and from the restaurant. Was professional and courteous at all times, and to end the day he sent everyone additional recommendations for things to see and places to eat in Krakow as well. I would recommend this excursion. Michal made it especially great for us.

The trip, itinerary and scenery were great but our guide/driver Matthew took it up a level and made it even more memorable. Throughout the journey he would share his knowledge on the locations as well as Polish history, customs, culture and mythology. Very engaging and happy to answer all our questions. He was also very flexible with the itinerary and never rushed us, offering loads of tips and suggestions when we were off on our own exploring. Thanks Matthew for an amazing time.
Kevin_M, Apr 2024
Although we had some very bad weather on our Wednesday trip our guide Mathew more than made up for that and his a credit to your company. Keep hold of him as he is a winner. Polite knowledge able and with a good sense of humour too. Great day I would recommend to friends and probably do the trip again without the rain. Thank you a pleased customer. Kevin
Chloe_B, Apr 2024
Lovely day trip out. Everything in itinerary happens as promised. Our tour guide Mateusz was amazing, so knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions we had. The whole day was great and the journey from krakow to Zakopane didn’t feel that long as we had 2-3 stops along the way! Fully recommend this tour was well informative and great.
Sonia_R, Mar 2024
Such a fun day out and consistent with everything the ad promised.
All the info before the trip was helpful and it was easy to book.
The destinations we visited were lovely and Matthew our guide was great at explaining everything and answering all our questions. Cheese and quince vodka were fantastic and the restaurant Matthew recommended was a great meal.
Would recommend!
Simone_J, Dec 2023
Incredible experience. Our guide was Caroline and she was so so lovely and made our experience so much more straight forward than if we done it alone. This tour is 110% worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat. My favourite day of the holiday without any hesitation! Journey from Krakow is around 2 hours however en route up to Zakopane you have a toilet break and have 2 stops (cheese tasting and Wodka) before reaching Zakopane so it flies by!
Claire_H, Nov 2023
Tour guide was excellent. Information about our trip and pick up point was sent to us the day before . Pick up point was just around corner from our hotel and was on time. Zakopane is a beautiful place would definitely recommend this trip. Definitely value for money.
Lisa_P, Nov 2023
Picked up at the time they said. Tour guide spoke good English and was very informative. Would book with this company again.
Joni_S, Oct 2023
Wonderful and informative tour. Our tour guide educated us and showed us many spectacular buildings and icons in Krakow. I spent a little too much time taking pictures in one of the churches but our tour guide was able to call me and get me back on the tour showing a lot of patience. I would refer this tour to anyone.
Jason_k, Sep 2023
Our Driver Thomas well presented and friendly chap collected us ahead of time I had done this tour last year,but wanted to do it again without the thermal baths,saw more sites than last time,pity I can't eat cheese,but the Polish vodka went down a treat,views are to die for,the day just flew by,would definitely do it again.
