Delivers exactly as promised, def recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We did the Chochotowskie termy (just baths) tour, our guide and driver for the evening was named Kris. Here are ttje reasons why I absolutely recommend using this tour company and if you can, ask for Kris by name. 1) He was a few min early (aka NOT LATE 💯) and actually came up to us at the meeting point and asked for me by my name. No "guessing" where the meeting spot is, they will find you. 2) Mercedes Benz vehicle for transport, modern, up to date, SUPER. 3) Kris speaks english / polish, makes great conversation in the vehicle, answers any question, top guide to use for sure. 4) EVERYTHING at the termy baths was handled by Kris, tickets, entry, etc, he walked us right to the entrance, no bait and switch, no inconsistencies, you get exactly what you book. 5) IF you can afford it, go smaller, or private, do everything on your own terms. Thank you for a wonderful trip.

Day trip to Zakopane from Krakow - Jacob was a great guide, he was informative, very friendly, professional guide and made sure our group was ok all the time from pickup point to Zakopane. He is everything you will want from a guide. Zakopane is a great place to visit, cable car is a must when you go there. We ate local polish food and was great. Highly recommend this tour.

ZAKOPANE and Thermal baths - We were collected from our apartment on time and then visited Chocholow which was a beautiful village of wooden homes. We were able to see one of the local residents making some hand-made items from wood too. We then visited a little cheese shack (as vegans we didn’t try the cheese) but the stop was lovely and the cherry vodka was delicious. We then spent 3 hours in ZAKOPANE which was a a really big town with lots of shops, restaurants, coffee shops and even a little vegan cafe, which made us happy! After our shopping and tootling around (it really was a stunning town) we went back to the bus and on to the thermal baths. Again, stunning location and a really wonderful experience. We spent three house floating around in hot pools - also to note there is also an adult only pool with a swim up bar for those that like this idea - and then we headed back to the coach and home. It was honestly an amazing day, made better because we had such a fab guide. Jay was friendly, informative and made the trip flow wonderfully. Really did have the best day. Huge thank you, Jay and thanks to Krakow Direct too. Would very highly recommend.
