Booked this last minute the day before as the other provider we had booked this excursion with had messed us around. Great communication from start to finish thanks to our amazing tour guide Micheal. He was informative, punctual, friendly and funny. We loved the special cheese you get with the tour. We had 2.5 hours in Zakopane and 2.5 hours at the thermal baths and then travel inbetween. Micheal kindly sent us recommendations of what to do and how to get to the best bits. Both experiences were amazing and definitely a must do if you visit Krakow.

The destination was totally worth it! The polish mountains, namely Zakopane is a beautiful place, specially all covered with snow! The guide was super nice and all was very well organized! We highly recommend this trip! Maybe we will repeat it during spring or again during winter! The free time we had for lunch was also perfect. And the stop for cheese very tasteful!

Easy to book - Excellent value for money - Fantastic guide. Patryk was attentive, informative, and an all-around great guide. The description of the experience was spot on and even exceeded expectation. We were messaged the previous day with pick up place, time and type of car - number plate. It's definitely worth booking!
