A great day in the mountains - Thomas arrived on time with a clean and spacious van and made sure we had a good time on our trip, and was willing to change the itinerary to suit our needs. He was meticulously roasting our smoked mountain cheese and served it with some flavored vodka. What a treat! The ride up the mountain was pleasant and afforded us fantastic views and an opportunity to drink some great beer. Highly recommend!

Excellent Day Trip - Highly Recommend! - We took a day trip from Krakow to Zakopane in late April with Tomasz and had an awesome experience. Tomasz provided excellent information about each of the stops along the way and was a good host and guide. The area was beautiful and well worth a visit. We would highly recommend Tomasz who took care of everything along the way and allowed us to enjoy a wonderful relaxing day.

Great experience with Artur - Excellent experience delivered by, Artur. He was on time and very polite and communicative. He gave us many facts about the sites we visited and the history associated with it. He made sure we were taken care of at each of our stops. He never rushed us and gave us sufficient time to explore. Very attentive and great to talk to during the drive. I would highly recommend the tour as everything is taken care of for you, and if possible request Artur to be your driver/guide for the tour! Thanks again, Artur!

Fairytale day trip in the snow - Excellent day trip to Zakopane, Thomas was a great guide made our trip even better. Delicious cheese tasting, we brought so much to take home. Beautiful wooden church in the middle of nowhere and amazing views after taking the funicular of the mountains and Zakopane. Highly recommend day out. Thank you Thomas.

This was our favorite day in Poland - Tomasz made our day both relaxing and fun. This was our second trip with him and we will use him again. His knowledge of the places we visited enabled him to not only share interesting information but also helped him navigate the best places to park, hike, eat, and explore. He gave us several choices of what we could explore on our way to Zakopane and made each experience pleasant and culturally rich. He is so relaxed, good-natured, funny, and intelligent, so we had good conversation, but he was sensitive to give us space. He obviously enjoyed making our experience wonderful.
