We met Jakub our driver outside our hotel to pick us up to take us to Zakopane and the Tatra mountains. Jakub was very friendly and Informative throughout the journey and made sure we were looked after well. We really enjoyed the little tours the best such as the cheese tasting and vodka overlooking the countryside and visiting a church and the border of Slovakia! Even though the Funicular was very busy the views across the town was beautiful and came down to walk around the town before pickup. We took a scenic route home so was able to take more pictures of the unique houses ever single person had. Jakub dropped us of at our hotel on the way back which was perfect. Jakub is a credit to the team!
