5.00We really enjoyed this trip! The views of the mountains are one of the most incredible things i’ve seen and you get plenty of time to explore the local towns. Our guide, Michal, was very knowledgeable, funny and entertaining, providing us with a great transfer to and from everything and a lot of good advice on where the best places to go were. He was incredibly helpful, making sure everyone was comfortable and even provided me with a portable charger when my phone ran out of battery! We got very lucky to have him as our house and hope we would have him again if we came back. It was a very reasonably priced trip and we would 100% book again!
Michal our driver was brilliant

5.00Great experience visiting the country side! The town of Zacopane was bustling with activity — a joy to discover. The thermal baths were a welcome treat at the end of a cold day. And, of course, Michael was a fantastic guide full of amazing information and personality — we were fortunate to have him.

5.00Me and my mum went with Legendary Tours for the salt mine and Zakopane. For the salt mine we had the amazing Michal who hyped us and gave information without spoiling anything. For Zakopane we had Bon Jovi (although he kept calling himself Mayer) who guided us throughout the day and was full of local knowledge. We also used this company when we visited in 2023 and they are just as fantastic as ever

5.00Matthew was our tour guide. He was amazing. Very safe and courteous driver and very knowledgeable about where we were going, what to do and also gave recommendations of places to go the rest of our holiday. Took us to an authentic vodka and cheese place rather than a commercial one
Thermal baths and tour guide both incredible. Don't offer a service you will not fulfill to your customers is awful.

3.00The tour I booked stated clearly that it includes a vodka tasting and cheese tasting but the tour went fully without any of that and feel a bit ripped off and taken advantage off, paying for something that ultimately wasn't included.
