Our guide, Piter, was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout the entire trip. The transportation was clean, comfortable, and felt very safe. We especially enjoyed the stop for cheese and vodka tasting, which added a unique touch to the experience. Zakopane offered stunning mountain views and a charming atmosphere. Every part of the journey was thoroughly enjoyable, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.
