5.00Nice day trip from Krakow. Great communication for pick up from our hotel. Our driver was very nice and a safe driver. We were in a van with 8 people total. Zakopane is worth visiting while in Poland.
An unforgettable day!

5.00Very interesting experience and very rich in places to visit. Daniel, our guide, is a very prepared person, patient and attentive to the program of the trip. Daniel has been very empathetic to all of us. We enjoyed the well thought out breaks between stops, especially the time needed for both shopping, photos and lunch. All without breathlessness.
