Value for money for a fantastic trip! - The trip was well organised. We were picked up on time by our guide and he made everyone feel comfortable. Everything was well timed. Great views of the Tatra Mountains at zakopane and highly enjoyable trip bathing at the Chocholow Thermal Springs. My son loved the slides!

Had a great day - Had a great day with Tomek. The van had airconditioning and it was great to have a group of just 8 people. Nice first stop at the old church about half way into the trip. Easy to connect with others when it's a small group and Tomek makes sure that everyone gets connected and become part of the group. He's extremely welcoming and has great enthusiastic energy. Once in Zakopane you get your three hours by yourself to go up the mountain with the funicular and decide how long you want to stay there or want to go to the city center. It's great that you can make your own plans out there. After the village we had two more short stops. One at the shepherd's hut to have the cheese and vodka tasting and one at the wooden village. Had a great day and thanks Tomek for making everyone feel good.

Cannot recommend highly enough - 10/10! - We booked the day trip to Zakopane as a colleague recommended it (this is our second trip to Krakow.) She deprived it as a fantastic day but it far exceeded our expectations - the views from the mountains are incredible, the cheese and vodka tasting was absolutely lovely and the thermal baths were the loveliest experience, again with the amazing views of the mountains from the outdoor pool. On the way back to the city we stopped at the wooden village which was so picturesque and historic, even more charming in reality than the pictures. Our driver and tour guide Tom were absolutely 10/10 - extremely knowledgable, friendly and professional and they really thought of everything to make the trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible (including taking requests for the music each way, ensuring we were able to get through all of the barriers and into the facilities without any issues and providing historic information in a very accessible and interesting way. ) Could not recommend this experience highly enough and we could not have enjoyed the day more than we did - thank you so much to Tom and our driver (in so sorry I didn’t catch your name!) for an unforgettable day 🖤

1 day outside Krakow - Well-organized excursion. Duration of an entire day, great evening, stopping + days in Krakow, and the historic center has already been visited. Stops are made at interesting points, and the southern part of Poland and the Carpathian region are visited, observing how the landscape and local structures change. Zakopane is an interesting but VERY touristy destination. Nice thermal baths that are great for relaxation.
