5.00This was the highlight of our holiday. We were picked up by the wonderful Mateusz (Christopher/George!) and from the get go he was wonderful, welcoming and funny. We were in a group of 7 and it was one of the best days I have ever had!!! We all got on so much and had a laugh! Mateusz was so organised and clear about everything. First stop was the wooden village which was interesting and you were able to buy souvenirs such as the local cherry vodka. We then went to the Shepherds hut where we were given the local cheese with jam and the lovely cherry vodka. Zakopane was beautiful, make sure to go in to the old town rather than stay just where the funicular is. But that is a must do and is really quick even where there are loads of people. We had a good amount of time here (still not enough) and it was lovely. The final stop was the thermal spa which was quite literally the best way to end the holiday. We had a good amount of time here but again never enough! It’s a long day but worth it. Most of the group met up for dinner that night as we had so much fun. The day was full of fun and belly laughs! I will never forget the sausage!!! Mateusz thanks so much. An unforgettable experience that’s worth doing yo get a bit of a feel if somewhere else in Poland rather thank just staying in Krakow and surrounding areas.
Perfect day
