Absolutely loved our experience, the whole day was amazing and Adam our tour guide was by far a gentleman. He was very helpful and English was perfect. The cheese tasting was so cute and loved the vodka. Loved how Adam went through the history of the town and people and was patient with us all. The thermal springs are the high light of the show, an experience for every one. Great if you have children. The mountains were amazing and loved all the shops and different things to do. Wish we got to go and the sleigh ride or jet skis but didn't bring enough cash

Definitely recommend this experience, Adam the guide was excellent from start to finish. He explained everything in detail and at every stage. He sent text recommendations for Zakopane and was so helpful throughout the trip. The trip itself was excellent, its a full day with plenty to see and do. A must do trip if in Krakow.

It was a small tour group. Patryck, our driver/tourguide was very prompt. We had enough time except for the wooden village. We wish we could have taken pictures there instead of 10 minute toilet break. But all in all it was a 5 star experience for us. Highly recommended!

I don't know why this tour is not promoted enough. Fantastic experience, best trip we have been on. plenty of snow and those baths are out of this world.
