We had a fantastic day in Zakopane. Our guide Mateusz was very knowledgable about each location we visited and made it a brilliant experience. We visited several local areas in Zakopane on the way to the thermal baths and were able to try traditional cheese and vodka as well as having free time in the mountains to grab some lunch and have a go on a gravity slide. The thermal baths were very relaxing and a perfect way to end our city break.

Our guide (Adam) was very knowledgable and made sure everyone had a good time, we also received many recommendations for Zakopane and Krakow. Stunning views topped up by relaxing time in thermal baths were definitely worth the price.

The experience is amazing and Matthew was a great guide! The views are the best part they really are incredible and it's so cheap for drinks up there! Only downside is the bus is VERY small and they sell all the seats. It was very cramped I couldn't sit near my partner and couldn't even sit on the seat fully as I was squeezed on the back row with 3 other adults. This was the only downfall. But overall the best day of our holiday!

Immerse in Zakopane's rustic charm

As your journey begins from Krakow, prepare to be mesmerized by the scenic splendour en route to Zakopane. Upon arrival, be greeted by meticulously scrubbed wooden houses, showcasing the unique architecture of this mountainous haven. Next, be treated to a sensory delight at a local cheese factory, witnessing the making of Oscypek, the smoked sheep cheese which has been a part of Zakopane's heritage for centuries. Enjoy the flavour of this exquisite cheese, complemented by the sweetness of cranberry jam. A sampling of Polish vodka adds a spirited kick to your tasting experience.

Stroll along the vibrant Krupówki Street, the heart of Zakopane, brimming with regional restaurants, souvenir shops, and local product stalls, offering you a slice of the local life. After exploring Zakopane, descend to the Chocholow Thermal Pools. These geothermal pools, filled with healing waters, offer the perfect end to your adventure-packed day.
