Review of Krakow’s Zakopane day trip with village tastings, Gubałówka funicular views, and three hours at Chocholow thermal baths.

“from start to finish, this tour was excellent and very well organised. Kamil got in touch the day before to let me know the details of when and where we would be getting picked up. A WhatsApp group (genius idea) was then set up with all members of the group which Kamil posted an itinerary, recommendations of where to have lunch as well as in Krakow and what the samples of cheese and vodka were that we tasted along with any photos taken. The scenery en route to all locations was stunning. the funicular views were fantastic (although a little disappointed to how commercialised the top of the mountain and…”

Review of Krakow’s Zakopane day trip with Tatra views, oscypek tasting, Gubałówka funicular, and Chocholow thermal baths.

“We booked the Zakopane day trip from Krakow with some hesitation — but it exceeded every expectation. The village of Chochołów was absolutely postcard-perfect. The smoked cheese tasting in the shepherd’s hut was delicious and felt wonderfully authentic. Zakopane is a true gem, and the ride up to Gubałówka offered breathtaking views of the Tatra Mountains. Enjoying tasty local food with that mountain backdrop made the experience even more special. The thermal baths were the highlight — the perfect, relaxing finale the day. The small group and modern, comfortable van made everything feel smooth, personal, and very well organized. And a very special thank you to our driver, Daniel. He…”

“Excellent trip from start to finish! Joanna the guide was very knowledgeable, informative, fun and friendly, as was Matthew the driver. Loved every aspect of the trip especially being on top on the mountain at Zakopane and in the hot springs! The only issue we had was that the minibus is very small/narrow inside and we were cramped on the back seat! It was fine but feel that they need a more spacious bus! It was still an amazing day and I’d highly recommend this trip to anyone! Tip - don’t sit on back seat if you can, we were last pick up so had no choice! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank you…”

Our guide David was very helpful, navigating the winter roads with ease and giving us insight to the different locations we visited which were all so worth the trip! We got to try local cheeses and drinks, try some cool hats and hold some axes. The views from Zakopane were amazing and there's so much to see and do, with lots of different places to eat. Fantastic experience as a whole.”
