Private pick-up, Zacopane quad biking, cheese tasting and thermal spa. - Fantastic day out, all organised efficiently. Private taxi to Zacopane from the hotel, arranged quad bikes as there was no snow. Followed by local cheese tasting. Finally, a fast track through the queues, paid for at Chocholowskie Thermal Spa.
It was amazing from beginning to end. We can highly recommend for any trips and excursions whilst in Poland. Very friendly and informative. Thank you 😊

Great day out. - Had a lovely day out with Kamil, nothing was to much trouble and he was very knowledgeable and flexible as to what we wanted to do and how much time we wanted to spend at each place we visited.
If you want to make as much of the day as possible then this is the tour you need to take.
The mountains and baths were wonderful and even on the drive to and from Zakopane, Kamil was full of information on the arears we drove through.
Would highly recommend.

A must see! - This tour was amazing, we did it as part of a 2 day itinerary that Kamil helped build for me and 2 friends, taking into consideration our interests and the weather. He took us to 2 churches, a sheep’s cheese hut, and Zakopane. It was such an awesome suggestion, and Kamil was very personable and attentive to whatever we needed. The cheese hut has smoked sheeps cheese and Kamil barbecued the cheese over an open fire for us and brought us a flight of different flavored vodka. He was able to tell us all about the area and each part of the experience. This is a very well put together tour and is very unique to the Polish culture. It was nice to get out of the city for a day. Zakopane is a beautiful village and mountain, and Kamil took care of every detail. I was extremely impressed with this tour company and the total experience. Kamil is the best tour guide I have had an experience with in all of my travels. A must see!

A most wonderful tour - Definitely worth doing. Kamil was friendly, knowledgeable and very engaged. Keen for us to experience as much as possible - we loved the villages and the mountains, the museum and the cheese smokery. Kamil also let us out near a beautiful tiny church in Zakopane where we were able to admire the architecture. In all the tour and the company are thoroughly recommended.
