Was a very lovely...

Josh_D, Jan 2025

Was a very lovely experience! The views from the top of the cable car was lovely! Mateus was amazing! A quick tip for those travelling to the baths, there’s a quiet area downstairs which was a life saver! We would do again.

Great panoramic views good food and drink choices

Dean_C, Oct 2024

Lovely views from to top of the hills over looking the mountains great food choices . The cables car where not working but there was a bus option to take us to the top of the mountains.

Great tour to Zakopane and the thermal baths!

We had a great time on the Zakopane tour with Casper our tour guide, who was very friendly. He let us know what was what, and provided information on the different places we visited. We were picked up at our hotel at 8am, and it was ~1.5hrs to the first stop, which was a nice little village and church, ideal for a small stop. Then we went traditional cheese tasting afterwards for abit (very nice). After we went to Zakopane and the mountains. The cable car was ideal for visiting the top of the mountain and having a drink with the view. Zakopane is the little village at the bottom, which is nice to walk through, get food and look at different stalls. This was one of the longer stops as it’s a nice place to stay around for abit. It was also snowing when we went which made it feel even nicer, with Christmas trees still up too. It is cold though so you definitely want to wrap up in Winter (we went at the end of January). Finally we went to the thermal baths, which had indoor pools/ jacuzzis etc and 2 outdoor pools. The facilities were also very clean. We had a good amount of time here to chill, perfect for getting a drink afterwards before you head off if you don’t get one at the pool bar! It is busy however, but the number of pools meant it wasnt a problem. Overall, we really enjoyed our tour, lasting around 10-11 hours, and would definitely recommend it if you like a full day out doing stuff. It is alot of driving but that is to be expected, and the places make up for it 100%. We also stopped off there and back to break it up for us which was nice. Thanks a lot, especially to Casper for making it a great day.

Misleading

Tracy_M, Dec 2023

Booked to go from our hotel and I believe paid extra BUT was informed the night before of a pick up point. We then had to find out where that was!!! Very misleading when booking so beware!!! We were very lucky that the driver was amazing and we don’t hold him responsible at all!!!

Zakopane Trip with thermal bath

Marilou_G, Aug 2023

The thermal bath was a good surprise Our guide Mathias is so reliable and a very careful driver . He is also always on time when it comes to picking us up . Overall it is a 5 star service and we like the itineraries

Outstanding break during a hectic schedule

Herb_P, Apr 2023

We had a great driver and guide, well worth the money. Took his time and pamper our guests the whole day. Nothing like being in a thermos bath while it is snowing huge snowflakes. It was a perfect way to spend the middle of the trip and fully relaxing. With temperatures in the low 40s f. It was awesome. One of our guest got a message and it was a zone out for them. They didn't want to leave.
