Perfect combo tour to Zakopane and Salt Mines. - 100% don’t miss out on this tour and options. Safe, reliable and personal. Thomas was flexible and friendly with many bonus facts. We felt relaxed and comfortable as an entire family. The secret cafe was super! The chair lift option is worth the beautiful view of the mountains and the Salt mines tour was a smooth process being escorted to the correct tour line and easy meeting place afterwards to be dropped to our hotel.

Great Day Trip! - Thomas was a great guide! It was a great trip up to the Mountain of Zacopane! The tour was fully private and we got a chance to see the sights and markets and even take a nice chairlift that had the best view! Highly recommend for a day trip if you are visiting Krakow.

JUST BRILLIANT - We have been to Krakow a few times now, this guy Tomaz is brilliant, took us to Zakopane, organised tickets to go up the mountains, a very informative chap indeed, on a previous trip took us to Auchwitz and the Salt mines, nothing is too much trouble for Tomaz
Ps ask him to take you to see the storks and then the wood carver
First class in every way, will also pick you up from the airport 👋👋👋

Zakopane Review - This is likely one of the best tour guide you can ever have, every bit of time spent was worth it. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. Gives detailed information and history of places you will get to visit. So many lovely and nice places covered in one day. You will get a feel of the country side and locals. All questions were answered, tour guide is also very willing to assist you as much as possible. Greatly recommend.

Fantastic Tour! - We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Thomas. We were lucky enough to have a private tour and Thomas went above and beyond to make sure our trip to Zakopane was unforgettable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kraków!
Thomas also offers a range of other types of tours to the mountains so be sure to check those out too!

Beautiful mountain views! - This trip was more than what we expected!! Definitely a must do, to see Poland and all the views. If you do this trip definitely do the ski jumping area (even in the pouring rain!) Our guide was excellent and very attentive.
