The Zakopane mountain tour was a great day out with lots of variety, stunning views, interesting history and wonderful relaxing hot thermal springs, tasting traditional smoked goats cheese at a shepherds hut and plenty of time to either shop or relax! We had a great tour guide all to ourselves who was very friendly and helpful.

What a brilliant day we all had. Would fully recommend a trip to the Zakopane mountains. Wojciech was a brilliant guide and we had the perfect amount of time at each stop. The goats sheep tasting was a really good addition to the trip aswell! Of course we all loved the thermal baths, with a swim up bar. A perfect memorable day for my friends hen party. We can’t wait to go back.

The tour is really very nice! in a whole day you can admire the beauties of the Polish mountains (on the border with Slovakia) and its characteristic villages. Very interesting is the visit of the family that produces goat cheese, which can also be tasted (very good !!). The day ends with a little relaxation at the spa. Punctual and precise organization, we are really very very happy. We recommend it without a doubt
