10/10 experience Zakopane tour

5.00Today we went on the Zakopane tour with tourguide Mirek and driver Lukas. It was a 10/10 experience. Mirek tells a lot of interesting (and funny) stories during the drive and we saw a lot of beautiful places all in one day. The cheese/wodka tasting was a lot of fun and the spa at the end was very relaxing. The sphere in the group was amazing as well. Would totally recommend anyone to go too :)
Couldn’t be better!!

5.00Everything about the trip was exceptional. It would be impossible to criticise. Our guide Kaja was exceptional. The driver was excellent and very friendly. All the stops were well organised and the final stop at the thermal baths was fantastic. The communication from Thousand Miles was thorough and simple. The whole experience was a delight. I’d recommend to anyone!👍😀
Well organised and enjoyable trip

5.00Definitely worth it. We had an amazing day, learning about Zakopane and enjoy the drinks, food and views! Fabian was a top guide, explaining everything clearly. Highly recommend.
A long day with time to chill at the spa stop

4.00The tour guide, Haroun, was excellent. He did a very good job of organising and keeping the group on time and was helpful and knowledgable. Overall, we enjoyed the tour but, as constructive feedback for the organisers, the stop at the ‘wooden village’ didn’t really add anything to the experience.
Amazing

5.00Pawel was a great guide, with his knowledge, clear guidelines & humour. Everyone respected Pawel & bus drivers times and this was the 1st excursion I've been on that all the group arrived back at bus on time for every stop. I would recommend to others and also for myself for any future tours. 🇮🇪☘️
Fantastic day trip - well worth the money

5.00Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. This was my first time in Poland and I wasn’t sure what to expect but can highly recommend this whole experience. Our guide Pavel and our driver (sorry, can’t remember his name!) were both fab and despite the patchy weather, they made our trip really enjoyable with some humour along the way - even factoring in toilet stops! I hope to come back and revisit the area in the future and will definitely use this company again!
