Great day out on Zakopane & Thermal baths tour.
Great day away with Krakow Top Tours. Bus arrived on time. Guide was excellent. Explained everything and arranged an unexpected Toilet break for some of the passengers. Bus driver was calm and experienced in the extreme fog we encountered during our day.
Everything was included in our ticket. Nothing extra to pay. Would highly recommend this company for a great day out. Professional and caring.

Fantastic! Do this tour!
What a fantastic day trip, would highly recommend! Tomas, our driver and guide, was brilliant. He picked us up on time (had the most comfortable car!) was really friendly and professional. The scenery on the way to Zanopane was stunning and the stop offs on the way were perfectly timed and v interesting. DO NOT MISS THE GRILLED CHEESE! phenomenal! Thermal baths were great too although slightly crowded (was a weekend though!) Basically, the whole tour was amazing for start to finish, all credit to Tomas and of course beautiful Poland! Thank you!

Expensive but worth it
The excursion was as advertised, but flexible. I needed to come back somewhat earlier, so we shaved time off certain parts of the trip. The driver, Daniel, was very pleasant and knowledgeable. There was nothing to criticize, although it was fairly expensive for one person--about $300, including a good tip.
Operator response
Thank you for your honest review! 😊 We're glad Daniel was pleasant and flexible to accommodate your schedule. We understand the cost can be higher for solo travelers, but we hope the quality and personalized service made it worthwhile.

Great excursion
Picked up at 9 by Thomas
Friendly guy and right balance of information as oppose invading the journey and the subtle sight seeing as you drive
First stop cheese
Two hours then in zakopane
Then hour up the mountain
And finally to the thermal baths for 3.5hrs
3.5 hrs sounds a long time but tbh there multiple pools so it flys by
Had meal in restaurant there and have to say one if the nicer meals I ate over my weekend
Long day out at 9 back 8.30
Overall good trip with nice driver and clean car
