5.00Gregory, our tour guide was awesome! He knew so much about Poland, Pope John Paul, Zakopane and its history. Gregory was prompt, funny and a delight to be around. We learned all about cheese from this area, how it is preserved and even had some of this tasty treat. The thermal baths were so relaxing and fun. The views of the mountains from the pools were a great treat. We could not have asked for a better experience.
A great tour from krakow to zakopane

5.00Was great. The tour guide/ driver Gregory was very pleasant and informative with facts and history of not only where we when but all the locations we passed on the way. He was also very punctual with his arrival, the transport was very clean and modern with the air conditioning and available charging docks. The activities themselves were enjoyable, one of the more relaxing and unwinding experiences in zakopane.
Trying different couture and the pool… favourite part was definitely the cocktails at the pool tho!

5.00We really enjoyed this trip! The views of the mountains are one of the most incredible things i’ve seen and you get plenty of time to explore the local towns. Our guide, Michal, was very knowledgeable, funny and entertaining, providing us with a great transfer to and from everything and a lot of good advice on where the best places to go were. He was incredibly helpful, making sure everyone was comfortable and even provided me with a portable charger when my phone ran out of battery! We got very lucky to have him as our house and hope we would have him again if we came back. It was a very reasonably priced trip and we would 100% book again!
Michal our driver was brilliant
