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.Maria

Everything from knowing the vehicle and driver that was coming for us to the great laugh we had with Kuba. Only disappointment was the thermal baths but nothing to do with yourselves. We had been to thermal baths in Budapest that were so much better and hotter. The Tetra mountain was fantastic. If we return to Krakow we will definitely book with yourselves againShane

We had the most amazing day with our driver and guide Piotr. Cheese tasting in the Shepards hut (we're big cheese lovers so we really enjoyed this, very tasty!) Zakopane centre and the Tatra mountains were breathtaking, then finishing the day in the thermal baths was heavenly. Highly recommend!
