Zakopane

A brilliant day in Zakopane We had a lovely day from start to finish. Kuba was a fantastic guide—friendly, helpful and full of useful information. Everything was very well organised, and we really enjoyed the cheese and vodka tasting and the beautiful views of the Tatra Mountains from Gubałówka. A great experience that we would happily recommend, and we would definitely come back!

Krakow - Zakopane: Funicular, Cheese and Highland Highlights

I visited Zakopane last year but I couldn't resist to revisit it this year, as I travelled to Krakow for my holidays. Amazing view, so beautiful and picturesque atmosphere. Our guide Dawid was great, funny and explained everything so good. I highly recommend the trip guys, everything was absolutely worthy. Poland is so beautiful, I hope I can visit other cities there too🤍❤️

Pleasant day out to Tatra mountains

We went on this trip with Poland is beautiful tours at the end of August, collected on time from our hotel by Dawid. Comfortable mini van and it was an enjoyable day at a price lower than some other operators for what appeared to be the same itinerary that many companies offer. Be aware that Zakopane and Gubalowka at the top of the funicular can be very busy at peak times.

PERFECT EXPERIENCE ZAKOPANE

The trip went exactly as described. The pickup was perfectly on time and at the exact location we requested. Our driver was incredibly polite and friendly. The vehicle was comfortable and clean. The explanations in English were perfect, and the driver made sure we understood everything. The stops were well-chosen, and the cheese and drink tasting was presented with great courtesy. They checked in on us throughout the trip to see if we needed anything. The instructions and information upon arrival in Zakopane were perfect. Recommendations for places to eat sent via WhatsApp, as well as advice and details regarding the funicular, were spot-on. The scheduled pickup time was met with total punctuality; the service was excellent, and the driver was very friendly. We were dropped off at the same location where we were picked up. Highly recommended: perfect timing, friendly and polite service, excellent explanations, and constant care for the travelers. We would definitely do it again!

Zakopane

Beautiful day, they picked us up from our hotel, we made the first stop at the village with the wooden houses, the second stop we tasted the typical cheese and vodka, and then continued to Zakopane where we had a great time and had time available to visit it. Highly recommended experience

An experience not to be missed

An amazing full day trip, with so much to see and experience. Our guide Lukas was brilliant and made our experience fun, informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Loved the cheese tasting experience done with Lukas, tasty and fun. The Tatra mountains were stunning and the shops and facilities there were great too. Definitely recommend this trip, one not to be missed.
