My boyfriend and I had an absolutely incredible trip to Zakopane, and we couldn't recommend it highly enough! Every part of the day was so well planned and gave us the chance to experience the very best of the area. The traditional smoked cheese and local vodka tasting was a real highlight and such a fun way to experience the local culture. The cable car ride treated us to breathtaking mountain views, and finishing the day at the Chochołów Thermal Baths was the perfect way to unwind and relax. A huge thank you to our fantastic bus driver, Lucaz, who made the journey smooth, comfortable, and stress-free from start to finish. We'd also like to give a special mention to our wonderful tour guide, Magda. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and informative, sharing so many interesting facts about the region throughout the day. Nothing was too much trouble for her—she was always happy to help, answered everyone's questions with a smile, and made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Thanks to Lucaz and Magda, this wasn't just a day trip—it was a truly memorable experience that my boyfriend and I will always remember. If you're thinking about visiting Zakopane, don't hesitate to book this tour. Five stars all the way!
very good day the best trip I've done in Krakow would highly recommend the cheese tasting was amazing I would book it again just for that alone, zakopaine was a fantastic town and a must on you next visit to Poland we had over 2 hours in zakopaine and I wanted more, the thermal baths where fantastic, the guide made the day even more enjoyable (magda) she was super friendly and super knowledgeable of everything she was telling us so if you get her you have hit gold
Tour guide Magda 5 stars, experience 5 stars, tour company 4 stars. They advertise 3hrs at the hot springs but only gave us 2.5hrs, which was closer to 2hrs factoring in changing clothes & walking to/from bus parking. I think they should eliminate the small village house tour stop and add the time to the hot springs. 4hrs at hot springs would be even better, everyone was commenting they wish they had more time there. Its half the reason we book. Zakopane was amazing views and we enjoyed the gravity slide too. Cheese & vodka was a unique and special tasting making for a fun stop with a nice view.
Thank you for your detailed review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the experience overall, especially Magda’s guiding, the Zakopane views, the gravity slide, and the cheese & vodka tasting. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the time at the hot springs and the itinerary structure. We understand how important this part of the day is and will pass your comments on to the team for consideration. Your insight is very helpful in improving future tours. Kind regards, Karolina

Such a fun day out. You visit all these cool spots, get great views and try some delicious food. The thermal baths are a good way to end the day, but be aware that you'll find many kids there.

Thank you for your review! We're so happy to hear you had a great day and that Haroune was friendly and helpful. We hope to see you again soon! Kind regards, Karolina
We had a lovely day! Both our guide Kacper and the driver Lukasz were very helpful and attentive and made sure everyone was looked after. The only grumble was the car/van had very very little leg room. We are both tall and made the journey a bit uncomfortable but apart from that we had a really good day. Thank you
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you had a lovely day and that Kacper and Łukasz took great care of you. We also appreciate your feedback about the leg room and will take it into consideration. We hope to welcome you again! Kind regards, Karolina
