5.00Great day out. Everything was well organised, Zakopane is beautiful and the thermal springs were great too. Our guide Joanna was great fun and couldn’t have been more helpful and informative. Thoroughly recommend this trip.

5.00Overall a great day, our tour guide was Jacub and he was excellent, stunning views, finished off with a relaxing dip in the hot springs. My only thoughts on improving it slightly, would be to add 30 minutes to the wooden village visit and take 30 minutes from the hot springs, I think 2 hours is enough there and an extra 30 minutes in the wooden village would allow time for museum visit
Bucket list ✅🇵🇱

5.00Fantastic experience to visit the small villages, a full day planned without stress!! Our guide (jakub) was thoughtful, super nice and helpful. The trip was very pleasant precisely because the guides updated us step by step on the little information of the different villages crossed. Absolutely relaxing spa, with numerous outdoor pools. The stop for cheese and local vodka tasting in this small cottage was the icing on the cake!
Great trip!

5.00We were collected from the hotel, and Joanna (tour guide) met us at the first destination. Previous to meeting us she had arranged everything, and kept in contact. Joanna is fun, knowledgeable, full of enthusiasm and energy which is infectious. She made sure everyone knew where to go and what to do. Even when the tour had finished she sent loads of recommendations for places to visit and eat whilst we are staying in Krakow. Highly recommend using Joanna for tours!!! 😀
Amazing time
