5.00We were in a group of 8 which was lovely. Ivan our tour guide, driver & saviour was excellent! Everything was managed perfectly time & location wise. Ivan would give us a clear explanation of every event & then then agreed some free time for us to explore. He gave us mini tasks which helped enrich this whole experience. Loved his music, clarity and sense of humour! Finally Ivan was our saviour as we had left a bag of gifts in the minibus and we were able to arrange retrieving this by meeting up the following morning. It was excellent we had his details to contact him. Thank you Ivan!

5.00If you get chance to do this trip please do it. It's a full day trip but worth it. We went up into the mountains, tasted cheese and drank vodka. Went in a cable car to see magnificent views! And so much more! This trip was made so much better by our lovely guide, Milos, he was so informative and certainly knew his stuff! Such a lovely man and a credit to your company! Would not hesitate to book this again next time we come here

4.00Enjoyed the guide; informative. The smoked cheese and vodka were good. View point nice. Zakopane full of cheap souvenir stalls. No crafts, no aspect of Highlander culture in sight; excepting the dress of the horse and buggy drivers . Crowded on a weekday. Walked away from the tourist throng to get a break from the mass of tourists.If only a few days in Krakow, would pass on this tour

5.00It was a fantastic tour to Zakopane! Our guide, Milosz, picked us up right on time and provided plenty of interesting information throughout the trip. He was an excellent guide with a great sense of humour, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Milosz did a wonderful job explaining the different places we visited and gave helpful recommendations on what to see in Zakopane. The cheese and vodka tasting was a highlight, and we also really enjoyed the visit to the wooden village. The cable car ride up to Gubałówka hill offered beautiful views and was another great part of the tour. Overall, a very well-organised and memorable day—highly recommended!

An Amazing Adventure with Mr. Szymon
Dhaval M,May 19, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00It was truly a great and unforgettable adventure with Mr. Szymon. He was very friendly and approachable. He took the time to explain everything about the places we visited on the way to Zakopane. One of the best memories was stopping at the Bacówka – the traditional shepherd’s hut. The smoked cheese was absolutely delicious, and the vodka was even better! In Zakopane, Mr. Szymon shared interesting insights and recommended some excellent restaurants. On our way back, the views were simply breathtaking. The whole experience was absolutely worth it, especially with Mr. Szymon as our tour guide. Thank you for such a wonderful day!
