A truly wonderful experience. Maciek picked me up on time and we travelled Zakopane. He is an outstanding guide and made sure I gained entry safely to attractions. The mountain views were breathtaking and there was plenty of time to explore. Thank you to Maciek for making this a great trip. A really enjoyable day.
You see and hear about the ‘real Poland’ with a guide with great knowledge of their country. Our driver was called Dominik and he was The Best. His manner is so relaxed and he made us feel super relaxed immediately too. He’s a polite, clever and good-humoured guy. He didn’t give us too much information which can be exhausting on tours but he was very personable, had a ‘light touch’ (knew when and how long to talk) and was great company. We really enjoyed our day with Dominik to Zakopane and Tatra mountains. A lovely day spent with a lovely Pole. Highly recommended if you want to experience something different, outside of Krakow.
Thank you ❤️
Our tour guide Chris was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for, we saw so much and will never forget what we did that day and what we saw was honesty the best day out we’ve had forever, would recommend to everyone if your visiting Poland
Thank you Cris is an Zakopane expert 😊
