Thomas was an excellent...

5.00Thomas was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. He was very reliable and we enjoyed the time we spent with him. Unfortunately it was a rainy day so we never really got to enjoy the real beauty of the mountains in the area, but he toured us around and showed us very interesting stuff.
Brillant Guide

5.00Tomasz our guide was brilliant. Very informative and made us laugh. He truly loves his jobs which makes you feel at ease and you think your spending a day with a friend not a tour guide. We seen all the sights we wanted and more. Thank you Tomasz for a great day. Would highly recommend

5.00Our guide Marcin, who customized our tour adjusting our stops according to the weather(intermittent heavy rain). Enjoyed the scenery, learning about Polish history, and experiencing the countryside in the comfort of a private car. Especially enjoyed the stop to sample the sheep cheese
Great experience, highly recommend.

5.00Amazing guide, amazing day, so highly recommend. We had an amazing experience with Tomasz as our guide. He was so knowledgeable. He looked after us from start to finish, honestly was such a great day. Zacopane had such stunning scenery which wasn’t dampened by the rain on the day! Tomasz was so attentive for the whole day and was an excellent guide with so much knowledge. Was a long day, but so worth it, would definitely come back and book and do other tours with this company, very professional and friendly. The food and drinks on the tour were excellent….the sausages were so good!!
Fantastic day

5.00We travelled to Zakopane with Prime tours and had a fantastic fun filled day. On our way to Zakopane we stopped at the wooden village of Chocholów and visited a small museum and a sculptors workshop. In ZakopanePrime tours had a sleigh ride organised for us this was the highlight of the day. A ride up through the snowy woods and a flaming torchlight back to a blazing bonfire were we cooked Polish sausages and drank hot mulled wine in the semi-darkness. A magical day throughly enjoyed by everyone. I would highly recommend this trip and company if you are ever in Krakow.
Excellent service

5.005 stars Prime Tours helped make our stay in Kraków fantastic with airport transfers, a trip to Auschwitz and an amazing trip to the mountains in Zakopane. Our driver Janusz was great and the service from your company whilst booking these trips via email was outstanding, we would certainly recommend to anyone.
Amazing experience!

5.00We had the best day of our trip to Poland! Our driver Yanus was amazing, so friendly and polite! He really couldn’t be any nicer. He showed us all the sights in Zakopane, we went up the funicular to see gobsmacking views, we had two hours free time for lunch and shopping then we went back to the van to be driven to our added extra, a horse sleigh ride in the snow which was absolutely surreal. Afterwards we had a bonfire with sausages and polish cheese. Would strongly recommend.
Snowy Zacopane

5.00Cannot recommend enough this private trip to Zacopane. Four of us travelled in the spacious comfy large car. Friendly driver. Loved the trip on the funicular to get the best view of the snowy mountains. Plenty of time there, found the trip to the graveyard a strange part of the itinerary. Probably of more interest to Polish who would be familiar with the residents.
Zakopane Thermal Baths.

5.00This tour was a nice way to see Zakopane and get a general feel for the area. If you’re looking to do some hiking or to do something active, this is not the right tour. This is a sightseeing tour. It’s a relaxing way to see a bit of Poland’s mountainous regions and its villages - very charming and quaint! My tour guide was Thomas, and he was great! The ride from Krakow to Zakopane was two hours, but it went by quickly because Thomas was friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, and just plain fun to talk to. He was able to share a lot of information with me about the villages we toured and Poland in general. Overall, it was a very enjoyable tour.
