Highlights

Escape to the Polish mountains for a day of adventure, relaxation, and Highlander traditions with round-trip AC coach transfers and an English-speaking tour lead.
Ride a glass-roofed cable car to the top of Gubałówka and take in sweeping views of the Tatra peaks before strolling through Zakopane’s charming streets.
Step into a traditional Bacówka to taste smoked sheep’s cheese (oscypek), sip Polish vodka, and learn about the centuries-old craft of Highlander cheesemaking.
Wrap up your day with a visit to Krupówki Street, where you can explore local shops or enjoy a warm mountain meal, before heading back to Krakow in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach.
Fun fact: Oscypek, the smoked sheep’s cheese you will taste here, is so special that it has PDO status, meaning it can only be made in the Tatra Mountains using traditional methods!

I really liked both Zakopane and Chocholov. The driver was very punctual and friendly. The trip lasts about 1h and 45 min.
