Great views - Tour guide was very informative
The trio was fantastic very busy but worth doing.
The guide said it was the start of the season for skiing so that’s why it was extremely busy.
You had to push to get on the mountain train as queuing was out the question, no system for people to get on, just a free for all.
Views amazing especially with it snowing.
Worth doing just for the views alone.

Wonderful experience! “Poland is Beautiful” is definitely a good choice. - This is my second review for this outing, but I can’t say enough good things. Our guide and driver Tomasz Borkowski was awesome! Not content to just drive us to Zakopane and say “here are the Tatra Mountains”, we stopped at a UNESCO designated town of houses 100-200 years old built without nails (!!), and also personally served us local cheese right where it’s made. Zakopane is quite beautiful, and even though crowded—beautiful weather, weekend day, so lots of locals as well as tourists—we had a great time. There are lots of tours to this site, but definitely think this is “the one”.

Marvelous adventure from Krakow - It was an incredible day of exploration and trying new things. We booked a private tour and it was well worth the little extra expense. Tomasz took care of the transportation and tickets, so we were able to enjoy a fabulous day without any worries of how to get there, where to park and where to buy tickets. Tomasz, with his sense of humor and knowledge of the areas, was another gold star in our travels.
If we had had the time, we would have booked another tour with Tomasz.

Worth a visit! Highly recommended! - I had the best day in Zakopane. It’s very beautiful and so much more than what I expected. The view, the cheese and the atmosphere were really nice. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone; it’s around 1.5 hr away from Krakow but it’s so worth it. I will be back!

Book with complete confidence a must do tour with a superb guide. - Excellent tour supported by Thomas who continually went the extra mile, book with confidence.
We were contacted by E Mail to confirm the pick up time at our hotel. The vehicle was very clean and our guide Thomas was relaxed , informative and super friendly. The trip offers so much with stops commencing after the first hour at numerours points of interest. So many highlights from this well organised and not to be missed day tour whilst in Krakow. A must do tour with a superb guide, who clearly values his clients.

Fab - Fab day out exploring Poland’s culture and traditions. Well organised, collected from the hotel on time and guide pointed out local attractions. Only comment was the minibus was quite cramped. We sat in the back as we were last on and it was very squished in the back for four adults. Would use again but pay extra for a private tour
