Maciej was an excellent tour guide. We had plenty of time to enjoy Morskie Oko and go to top of Gubałówka. We also enjoyed conversing with Maciej and learning more about Zakopane, Morskie Oko and Poland in general.

Our excursion was great! Hubert was very punctual and friendly. He offered us to stop for a coffee, choose the music and the temperature of the car's air conditioning. The car was very clean and comfortable. In addition, Hubert adapted the schedules so that we could enjoy each part of the excursion and was constantly checking the weather conditions so that we had the best possible views from the Zakopane funicular. He made great recommendations for lunch and to take hot chocolate. We would repeat with no doubt!
