5.00Fantastic trip with Marco and Mirek. Kept us in high spirits despite the weather being disappointing. We were offered a free lunch box due to the funicular being out of service which was very much appreciated. Would highly recommend both for organisation, cost and service.
Def a must

5.00Perfect pick up and drop off. Michal was very entertaining. We had our vodka and oscypek fix in Dolina Chochołowska. The village Chochołów was little disappointing- just walk back and forth along the road. Zakopane was crowded and full of merchants trying to sell you handmade souvenirs. Nothing made in China! Have some cash handy as the highlanders do not take cards. Good food! Kapuśniak with ribs would be my recommendation. You can pay with cards in restaurants. We were lucky to see the skyline of Tatra mountains from Góbałówka. The hot springs were the high point of the trip since it was a very cold day. We enjoyed swimming in the outdoor pool and soaking in a jet stream smaller indoors pool.
Simply spectacular
