Very flexible and Kasper our driver meet all our needs. The tour was amazing and highly recommend. We enjoyed every minute of it.
I would highly recommend this trip to Zakopane and especially our driver and guide Casper! First, the tour was fantastic and the drive from Krakow was easy and enjoyable! Seeing the Wooden Church, ski jump, Zakopane, wooden villages, etc would not have been easy on our own without the tour. It felt like there was a good amount of time spent at each location and it made for a seem less experience! The restaurant with the view of the mountain was great too! Our guide Casper was great and he did an incredible job sharing information about the locations while also providing a fun experience for us! He has us laughing many times and he greatly added to our experience! Next time we are in Poland we would love to have another tour led by Casper! I would say to book this tour if you want to see a lot of southern Poland in one day without feeling the stress of planning each spot on your own! And make sure to ask for Casper!
Very interesting tour with Tom’s excellent explanations.
Had an excellent tour on Tuesday with Tom. He was amazing and told us about the Polish history and culture. He was extremely polite and helpful and we would highly recommend a tour with him and will be recommending him to others. Thanks again Tom for a memorable day and great atmosphere and laughs. Mike and Siobhan.
Tom was the most enthusiastic and fun guide. Full of information and stories about Poland. His love for his country came through in his energy. He was extremely helpful. At the end of the day he gave us so much information and recommendations for places to eat and drink. Couldn't fault him. We would highly recommend him and his company Krak Tours
This tour was definitely worth it! Everything was well planned, with just the right amount of time at each stop. The places we visited and the activities were amazing. Tom was a fantastic guide – friendly, warm, attentive and always full of positive energy. He made everyone feel comfortable, and spending the day with him felt less like being on a guided tour and more like spending the day with a good friend. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!
Our tour guide Barr was fantastic, very funny, very friendly and very informative. Thank you Bart for a fantastic day
