We had such a great day on the Zakopane trip from Krakow! From start to finish, everything was really well organised. Booking was super easy, communication was great, and our collection was right on time.
Our guide, Magda, was brilliant. She was really friendly and knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting history about the places we visited, which made the trip even more enjoyable.
Chocholow was lovely and peaceful, and the stop for cheese and vodka tasting after was a fun experience. The vodka definitely got everyone a little more lively.
Then it was on to Zakopane and up the funicular, which was one of the highlights of the day. The views were absolutely amazing and definitely worth seeing.
We finished the day at the thermal baths, which were perfect for cooling off in the heat. It was quite busy, but there was still plenty to enjoy, including lots of slides and areas for the kids. Sitting at the swim-up bar with a drink was a pretty nice way to relax too!
We had a fantastic day and would definitely recommend this trip!

We enjoyed the day. I gave it four stars and not five stars, because of the crowds. The crowds at the attractions would give Disney a run for the money. But nevertheless it was a pleasant day and would do it again.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad that you enjoyed the day overall and would choose the experience again. Popular attractions in Zakopane and the thermal baths can become particularly busy during peak periods, but we’re pleased the trip remained enjoyable despite the crowds.
Kind regards,

Really fun experience. We loved the vodka and cheese tasting! I wish we had a little more time in Zakopane but it’s worth it to see the views!

The highlight of our trip to Krakow. Our tour guide Mirek, and driver Lukas were amazing. Communication prior to the trip was fantastic and pick up was on time. We were picked up at half 8, and were back at our hotel by 8pm. It’s a long day, but totally worth it, highly recommend!

Magda and Lukasz were very nice and very friendly. The bus ride was quite comfortable. Pickup was a little early, but each person was picked up very close to their accomodation, which was a big plus. We definitely enjoyed the tour. Don't spend too long up on the hill though, because there's lots to see in Zakopane itself

What a fantastic day! Despite the rainy weather, we had a spectacular time exploring Zakopane. Our guide, Fabian, was knowledgeable and helpful with lots of local knowledge and recommendations shared. The restaurant he directed us to didn't disappoint!
The baths were a super way to end the day, despite how very busy they were.
This was the perfect way to end our Krakow visit and we would highly recommend it to others.

This was a phenomenal tour. We stopped in a log cabin town and saw a legit wood carver, stopped for a vodka and traditional cheese tasting, and stopped in Zapokane for a gorgeous mountain view and lunch. Our last stop was at the baths, which was essentially a water park village, lol. I was concerned about security as a solo traveler, but their wristwatch-locker setup was totally safe and I left my valuables with no problem. Swimming was so relaxing.
Mirek and Lucas were also phenomenal hosts. Thank you for a great experience!!
