A great experience - We Were picked up by our driver with no problems. He told a lot of good stories and answered all of our questions. He told about the sights we were seeing. The schedule left plenty of time for us, to see what we wanted to. On The way, there was time to eat The traditional cheese, with a shot of vodka. The day was well arranged, our driver was very good and entertained with information and stories.

Amazing tour! Highly recommed - We had an unforgettable experience with Krystian as our tour guide. He was the perfect host, providing great facts and making the tour both fun and informative. Krystian took us to Zakopane, where we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and unique culture. The visit to the thermal spa was incredibly relaxing, and the cheese and vodka tasting was a highlight, offering delicious flavors and a great time. Krystian was attentive throughout the tour, ensuring we had everything we needed and making the entire experience truly memorable. Highly recommend!

A fantastic day in Zapokane! - This is a great tour for families, couples and solo travelers like myself. I was picked up by Krystian at my hotel and he told lots of stories and gave a great history of the area and answered all of our questions. He took us to a charming wooden house village, up on the funicular, we tried smoked cheese and a delicious vodka and ended the day with soaking in the hot spring waters. On the way back, he even stopped to show us a Jewish cemetery, as he knows im a holocaust educator and would find this interesting. A great day and I highly recommend! There is something for everyone and a knowledgeable guide takes the stress out of trying to do this on your own.

Zakopane - A very good trip to make. Nice view from the top over the city below and the mountains. There was a market on the top and lots of food places. Our guide Olaf took good care of us and had a lot of information about places we passed on the way to Zakopane.

Olaf from Thousend Miles made this experience perfect! - Our guide Olaf made this experience perfect for us who were there. Without him, I'm not sure if the experience would have been as appreciated as it actually was. Olaf contacted me in good time the day before the experience and answered any questions I had. In the morning he contacted us to see if we were awake and had a good breakfast before departure. During the journey he told about historical and local anecdotes. He accompanied us and translated when needed, and he had a very good mood that put everyone at ease. We had opted out of the thermal bath this day and spent more time in Zakopane. In retrospect, we felt that a visit to the thermal bath would have been a good option, but it was very nice to go up to the top with the funicular and then stroll around the streets of the city. It was very nice and we would like to recommend it. Please ask for Olaf as your guide and driver, you won't regret it!
