Itinerary
Visiting Zakopane is a perfect opportunity to learn about the wooden architecture of Podhale highlanders, and to see the beautiful villas in Zakopane style, which was inspired by the folklore of this region.
It is impossible to visit Zakopane and not go to Gubałówka (1123 metres above sea level) – the best known peak of the winter capital of Poland, as well as one of the best viewing points, from where you can see the Tatra Mountains, Zakopane and the entire Podhale region. You will ride the funicular to the top of Mount Gubałówka and spend 1 hour here to admire commanding views of the Tatras and Zakopane.
You will visit the most popular street Krupówki, which is a peculiar market of the city and its central point. Krupówki street is crowded with tourists who visit shops and go to restaurants located along the street. On this street you can find many traditional highlander items to buy, such as clothes and souvenirs, but also to eat. You will have some free time to spend over here.

Stanislaw was an excellent guide, providing interesting information about the area. He made sure we had a relaxed enjoyable tour.
Visited Poland Krakow June 25 for the first time had an amazing experience. Tickets for TAURON Arena to see Scorpions Coming home tour 60 years for my Hubbys 60th bday in August who is a big big fan . Show was amazing the band looked really good for there age. Went to Zakopane thermal spa (views of mountains amazing) with Karrow direct tours. Our tour guide was Dominic who gave some interesting information on the area we visited up in the Zakopane region . Collected and drop off at our hotel. Start was an early one but worth it.
Really good day trip. Bart our tour guide was great and friendly. Zakapane was beautiful, it was very busy at the top of the mountain
The mountains were beautiful and the cheese tasting fun and delicious! Michal was entertaining and helpful with suggestions of restaurants in Zakopane.

Pawel was nice and Professional. The combination of mountains, cheese tasting and thermal springs was good. We really enjoyed it. Only negative: the transport bus had small seating between rows- the bus was full and we were in the back row-any one over 5’3” will have very cramped legs.
Too much time at the shopping area and the jacuzzi area. Need more time to visit the nature and mountains
Totally recommended, very attentive and helpful guide. The mountains are magical! They give away shots of Polish vodka, in addition to adding water and snacks along the way. There are several stops to buy something and go to the toilet.
Was a great day out, in my dreams since we were never picked up and didn’t get to go. We were advised by Viator the night before (when I was worried about the booking that everything was fine) then in the morning when we were awaiting pick up I was advised again everything is fine but they have between 9am and 9:50am to pick you up. 10am came and went and we were still waiting. We were advised to contact tour provider if any issues, when we done this we were very kindly informed that the tour has already left and didn’t know why we weren’t picked up. On asking if someone could take us and even just refund the difference of what was missed we were advised this wasn’t going to happen. As an ‘apology’ by the tour guide (please note not Viator) we were offered a day trip to the zoo or a transfer to the airport the following day. Viator are still to actually acknowledge that this is partly their fault as it was through them that the trip was booked!! Be careful with who you are booking with if it is something you really want to experience on your trip
Great trip lots to do and see well organised by your operator value for money. Interesting to see old houses and customs and cheese sampling
Our tour guide Krystian was absolutely fantastic. He was so friendly and full of life it really made our trip. The trip in itself was incredible too. The views in zakopane were phenomenal and the thermal spa was lovely.
