Beautiful - Wonderful experience. The whole area is breathtaking. Must be seen. We went when there was a lot of snow but I bet it’s just as stunning in the summer.

Wonderful day trip to Zakopane with the added bonus of some ❄️ - We had an amazing time booking this tour last minute for our last day in Krakow. The communication beforehand was brilliant and Kamil the guide was friendly, funny, informative and all around great from start to finish. We started with a visit to one of the wooden houses where I picked up a lovely handmade Christmas ornament (take cash!), then on to tasking oscypek and quince vodka (now addicted to oscypek 😂) and bought some to take home (cash needed again). Then on to Zakopane for the funicular ride which was amazing with the snow and views from the top. Perfect amount of time to go exploring, have food and explore the markets. We took Kamils suggestion of where to eat and we’re not disappointed. The views on the bus on the way to Zakopane were also amazing. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone debating it, such good value for money and you will not be disappointed. Thanks Kamil & to the lovely driver for a great day start to finish.

A full day and a great day! - It was a great day starting with a stop in the quaint town of the wooden houses. The next stop at a shepherd’s hut and tasting the cheese and cherry liqueur followed by time in Zakopane to explore views from the mountain and walking through the town exploring its shops, restaurants etc. we stopped at two other highlights in the area before heading back to Krakow. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. It was a great day!

Great Day Trip with Beautiful Views - We covered a lot of ground on this day trip, starting with a stop in the wooden village, visiting a wooden church, seeing the Tatra Mountains, and ending with some leisure time in Zakopane. Our guide Michael was very informative, funny, and easy to be with. I appreciate his flexibility and additional inclusion of taking the ski lift since the cable car was not working. We also lucked out with perfect sunny weather and great views of the changing fall foliage. Highly recommend.

A wonderful day seeing the Polish highlands - Our trip was focused in Krakow, with a visit to Auschwitz early in the week. This trip to Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains was an excellent way to get out of the city and see the Highlands. Enjoyed the opportunity to stretch our legs during the drive. I enjoyed the cheese (bought some to take home), and driving thru Choctow. Our guide Michal was extremely kind and patient, as I have breathing issues and was struggling a bit with the attitude, and my travel partner walks with a cane. He revommended places to eat, and we were very excited to see that one I had investigated prior was on the list. Bakowo Zohylino Niznio was an incredible place to eat. The atmosphere was rustic and traditional of the Highlands, food was excellent and portions generous. He ensured my partner and I made it to and from the restaurant. Was professional and courteous at all times, and to end the day he sent everyone additional recommendations for things to see and places to eat in Krakow as well. I would recommend this excursion. Michal made it especially great for us.

Worth the money and time - The tour was worth taking and a good value. Our tour guide spoke great English, was friendly, and picked us up at our hotel promptly. We had just the right amount of time in each location. The only reason I did not give this five stars because I thought our destination was a bit touristy, but that is not the tour’s fault.
