Stanislaw did a terrific job of showing us around the mountains on the southern border on August 9. He was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Got us set up on the Dunajec rafting trip and then Zakopane. He also took us off the beaten path a bit to show us a few other little jems in the area.

We had a fantastic full day with Lucas as our private guide, first starting our raft experience through the national park with Poland on one side of the river Slovakia on the other. Lucas picked us up after rafting and drove us to Zakapone for a funicular ride to the top of the mountain with free time to experience the local foods etc. then returned us to our hotel in Krakow, perfect day.
One of the best excursions from Krakow

This was our fourth and final excursion during our visit to Krakow. Our driver David was wonderful. He told us a lot about the area. He was on time to pick us up and was great at communicating. He took us to a special place where we got cheese and treated us to some vodka! We would definitely highly recommend this trip.
nice to see nature

Scenery on this tour was great and it was nice rafting down the Dunajec. Guide spoke polish and I think I was the only English speaker in the group so I didn’t get any commentary. Zakopane was cute but very touristy and busy.
Awesome :)

Tomasz arrived at our hotel on time and with a very clean car. He was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our whole day. He drove us safely to each destination and helped with all tickets in each location. What a great day out. Dunajec river and Zakopane is a trip everyone who visits Krakow area must do. Rafting - The scenery is amazing, the water is calm but still exciting enough sailing over rocks and the raft guides are super entertaining. But they only speak Polish. So if you want to understand all the awesome jokes then bring a Polish speaking translator. Zakopane - We saw the most beautiful views from the cable car. and then had some free time for shopping and quick dinner. Totally recommend excursions with company Poland is beautiful
The most caring tour guide ever !

I went for this day trip on 9th September 2022. Thomas came to pick me up at my hotel on time. He was very kind and friendly. The car was very neat and clean and well maintained. there was around a 2 hour ride to Dunajec. Thomas arranged the tickets for me for the boat rafting. This is actually a 2.5 hour scenic boat ride on the river Dunajec in a wooden boat. I did not carry a rain coat with me so Thomas offered me his. Not just that, he even offered a blanket to sit on, so my bums are not hurt by being seated on the wooden plank of the boat for so long. The boat ride is breathtaking a must-do. After the boat ride, he took me to Zakopane. On the way, I went to the paid restroom where he even paid for me as I ran out of PLN. He suggested me the local cuisine to have ( dumplings and cheese) at Zakopane, but refrained from suggesting any particular restaurant, so I can explore on my own. He showed me the way across the Krupowki street and waited for me to return back in 2 hours, which was sufficient time. He then got me tickets to Gubalowka cable car and explained me how it works there. I spent an hour at the mountain top and had amazing views. While returning back, on my special request, he even drove me through the Chocholow village and explained me how those houses over there were unique. While Thomas did not narrate the history or geography of Zakopane and nearby regions like a typical tour guide, he did answer all my questions patiently with a smile. He is a very friendly person and treated me with very high respect and care and made my day memorable. Thanks Thomas for all your efforts !
Outstanding Tour

Thomas worked with and helped us select the Zakopane/ Rafting excursion. It was a very memorable day. Thomas was professional and very friendly. The day was well planned and moved effortlessly. The cruise was picturesque and something we will remember for a long time. This is a great value and excellent tour. I highly recommend it.
