Great day! Very easy to navigate independently. - Our driver Diego was an excellent guide. While both the hike and village didn’t need a formal tour guide (both sites were very straight-forward one way in and out, so a guide was not at all necessary), Diego still answered all of our questions and arrived at pick up points as soon as we needed him there. He also drove smoothly and safely, and he had a great music playlist during the car ride. The hike was tiring but very worth it. There were countless small children and elders who trekked the whole way up and down, so I would say the hike is relatively easy, but definitely pack lots of water and wear good walking shoes. It’s paved the whole way, but there are “shortcuts” you can take up through staircases - but note that those shortcuts are very steep and rocky, with limited handrails. Because we were tired from the hike, we opted out of the cheese portion of the tour, but we were still able to go into the village and walk around the shops. Overall, we really enjoyed the day!

Great trip in nature - Morskie Oko - We had a lovely time on our hike to Morskie Oko. The scenery was beautiful and the path easy to follow. Our guide Michal kindly collected us from our hotel we had a very interesting conversation while traveling, which made the journey fly by. Would highly recommend this trip.

Nature at its best - Very good experience. Thomas, our driver, was on time,courteous, and a very nice gentleman. Trek to the lake was wonderful,with a paved path and forest and mountains all around. It took us 5 hours to go and get back with an hour at the lake. Must do if you enjoy 16 km treks and want to explore nature. Lake surrounded by the mountain was amazing. Zakopane is a small town, with buzzing tourists. Overall a very enjoyable day.

Very nice tour and journey with our guide Janek - As a solo traveler, I always find issues joining organised activities as they require always 2 people at least. I contacted Legendary Krakow and in a day they added me to an existing group. We ended up being only two, but the agency still did not cancel the tour, and I am very happy about it because the tour was amazing and well organised. Our guide Janek was punctual and well prepared. He was also flexible and together we planned the schedule of the day. I enjoyed the tour but also the journey as Janek is a very nice guide and explained us a lot, but we also went to other topics like food, culture, geography etc... I totally advice this tour!

5 Star Trip to Zakopane! - We booked a trip through Legendary Kraków agency to visit Zakopane, Morskie Oko, Gubałówka, and Thermal Spas and I would recommend it to everyone who wants a great experience. Wiktor was our guide for the trip and he was truly amazing. We got picked up at our hotel in Kraków in a nice comfortable van and it took about 2 hours to get to Tatra National Park/Tatry Mountains with the mission to hike/walk to Morskie Oko. To reach Morskie Oko depends on your speed, it took us 3 hours at a normal pace. And WOW it was worth it, it was the most incredible view and appreciation for nature. We took the horse and carriage on our way back and it took only 30 min lol. Wiktor was patiently waiting for us in the parking lot and next took us to Zakopane market for some shopping and gave us tickets for the train ride up to Gubałóka for the beautiful mountain views. Next, he took us to the most adorable little bacówka (mountain hut) where we tried local cheeses, one popular in particular - oscypek. It's a smoked cheese that gets grilled and served with a delicious cranberry jam and we also got to taste homemade bimber (moonshine). The owner of the shop was the sweetest lady that truly enjoyed giving a nice experience to the customers. Wiktor knows the fun local areas and made this a very fun stop! Our last stop was at the Thermal Spas. It was really nice to wind down in the warm pools after a long day of hiking and exploring. It was the cherry on top! I want to thank Legendary Kraków and Wiktor for making this trip an amazing experience, very fun, and for being so pleasant and accommodating. We will definitely book more trips with them in the future! - Malvina & Gabby

Fantastic! - Our experience with Maciek was fantastic. He arrived on time at the meeting place after we continued to Zakopane. We stopped to taste the typical Polish cheese and in the meantime Maciek explained everything. Maciek was kind and smiling. Thank you very much.
