We visited on one of the hottest weekends in June and I was concerned that it was going to be a bad idea 38 degrees going to the mountains and thermal baths I shouldn't of worried. The mountains were beautiful and thermal baths so refreshing even with the water being 32-38 degrees will definitely visit again, the only disappointment was travelling to and from guide Fabiana was lovely but the mini bus was too hot and he wasn't very free with the air con and had to be told by a lady who said she was going to faint.
Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the mountains, the thermal baths, and Fabiana's guidance. We're sorry the temperature in the minibus was uncomfortable. We appreciate your comments and will share them with our transport team to help improve future tours. Best regards, **Thousand Miles**

This is a MUST tour while visiting Krakow 😻 Had such a lovely day with a lot of activities in Zakopane and Chocolow, in one day you get to see polish village, mountain, try polish cheese and vodka and relax in thermal baths so it is such a unique experience. Nothing would be so great without our guide Haroune, he really took care of us all and shared valuable information to know. Definitely recommend him 💖

We had a fantastic day from start to finish. The minibus was modern, comfortable and very clean. Our driver, Łukasz, was professional, friendly and made us feel safe throughout the journey, while our guide, Magda, was organised, engaging and very knowledgeable. She shared lots of interesting information about the local area, Polish culture and the places we visited, which really added to the experience. The itinerary was well planned, with stunning views from the Gubałówka funicular, enjoyable free time in Zakopane, and the cheese and vodka tasting was a fun addition. The highlight for us was definitely the Chochołowskie Thermal Baths, which were the perfect way to relax after sightseeing. The only small point is that we had around 2 hours 40 minutes at the thermal baths rather than the 3 hours advertised. It didn’t spoil the day, but it would be good if the advertised time reflected the actual schedule. Overall, everything was very well organised, hotel pickup was seamless, and the day ran smoothly from beginning to end. We would happily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kraków who wants to experience Zakopane and the thermal baths in one enjoyable day.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the tour and that Magda and Łukasz made your day so memorable. Thank you for your note about the thermal baths timing. The schedule may vary slightly due to traffic and operational conditions, but we appreciate your feedback and your recommendation! Best regards, **Thousand Miles**
Great fun, a full day out with many experiences. Easy pick up/drop off arrangements with a friendly team of driver and guide “Haroune”. Spectacular scenery and fabulous spa facilities. Something for everyone.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed such a fun and varied day. It's great to hear Haroune and our driver made everything smooth and welcoming, and that you loved the scenery and thermal baths. Thank you for your recommendation! Best regards, **Thousand Miles**
