The staff very well
The companion although speaking in English worried that we understood all the indications. It is curious the outdoor pools with snowy mountain background. They are not 100% relaxing baths, but you can rest in the hot tubs.

Worth the 15 soils!
Worth the 15 soles. The "natural pools" are well fought in the high season, but allow a relaxing bath anyway. Very hot water.
Negatives: access and lack of wardrobes for changing clothes and bathing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable Zakopane experience
Our Zakopane tour was the highlight of our trip.
The views of the Tatra Mountains are breathtaking and feel like something straight out of a postcard. The funicular ride was a fantastic experience, with incredible panoramic views and plenty of time at the top to take photos and soak in the scenery.
The cheese and vodka tasting was great. We loved learning about the traditional smoked cheese, tasting it fresh with cranberry sauce, and sampling local vodkas. It was a great way to experience local culture and traditions.
The thermal baths were the best and a perfect way to end the day. After a full day of sightseeing, relaxing in the warm outdoor pools with mountain views was pure bliss. The facilities were clean, well organised, and incredibly relaxing. We could easily have stayed there all day.
What truly made this trip exceptional, however, was our driver Piotr. He went above and beyond in every possible way. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and he made sure everyone was comfortable, informed, and having the best possible experience. Nothing was too much trouble - from adjusting timings, offering helpful tips, answering questions, and his positive attitude and attention to detail turned a great tour into an unforgettable one.
If you’re considering a Zakopane tour this is the one. Amazing sights, great activities, seamless organisation, and a driver who truly made the day special. Highly recommended!

Great day in Zakopane and Thermal baths
Our experience was only positive. Our driver Piotr was very friendly and knowledgeable. Despite the challenging weather and road conditions he stayed positive throughout and he made the drive feel safe!
For the price we paid it was a great day with lots of different and enjoyable experiences throughout.

Fantastic trip to the mountains and baths
Piotr was brilliant driving in the poor conditions and explaining everything to us as we went along.
Views from Zakopane were stunning despite poor visibility due to snowfall and the short trip for cheese and wine was a welcome break from the lengthy drive.
At the spa Piotr explained what to do, where to go and made sure we all had a fantastic time.
A must do when visiting Krakow!
