Fantastic experience. The locations I’ve seen on this trip were magic. Magda was an excellent guide and cared a lot about the group and has a very good music taste! Really enjoyed the trip and I recommend it!

Amazing day tour!

It was such a fruitful and informative day trip. Niko was very helpful and patient guiding us from destination to destination, and super knowledgeable when sharing information about polish culture and historical stories of landmarks. Cheese tasting was such a good touch, the cheese was so tasty!! 10/10 would recommend for anyone visiting Krakow and want to have a fun, educational and relaxing day away from the city.

Fun day and great guide

Our guide Niko was lovely, knowledgeable and made the trip a fun experience! The full version of the trip takes about 10.5 - 11 hours, includes an Oscypek and vodka tasting, plus approximately 5 hours of free time including thermal baths. The baths are huge, but do get very busy.

Worth doing it

Very nice guided tour. Magda was helpful and very nice and habe interesting facts, but kept it short so it did not become tedious. I felt very safe with our driver Konrad. I personally enjoyed the cheese tasting, the peek of the mountain (the view) and relaxing in the hot springs. What I did not like was the heavy commercialisation everywhere. I mean really lots and lots of junk shops and cheap, fast foods (Like icecream, fried potato Spitals,..)

Amazing time!

We had an amazing time on the trip today, it felt well paced and gave us enough free time to explore without feeling rushed. The traditional cheese and vodka tasting was really fun and the trip to the thermal baths at the end topped it all off! Our host Fabian was very knowledgable and kept us all interested and entertained along the way with some stories and facts about the places we saw along the way. Thanks again we had a great time and will 100% reccomend to friends!

Day trip to Zakopane and Thermal Baths

We had a great day with Fabian who really went above and beyond to make our trip informative, interesting and fun. The day we had with cheese and vodka tasting and ending with the time at the thermal baths was excellent value. Would definitely go on another tour hosted by Fabian.
