Additional Information

Explore Zakopane, nestled within the Tatras. This location is widely celebrated for its unique culture that reflects the lifestyle of the highlanders in the Podhale area. It’s also regarded as Poland’s prime skiing destination. Krupowki, Zakopane’s most renowned street, teems with traditional markets that sell memorabilia and offer local delicacies like Oscypek, the smoked cheese.
In the settlement of Chocholow, marvel at the age-old wooden houses crafted by highlanders, and indulge in the massive thermal baths complex situated there. Immersing yourself in its warm waters may help unwind and de-stress. These naturally sourced waters, siphoned from roughly 3600 meters beneath the earth’s surface, are believed to provide various health benefits.
The order of attractions is flexible to the group’s preferences – you can start with Zakopane and then proceed to the thermal baths in the evening, or vice versa.

Zakopane and Chocholow Thermal Baths. - Maciek picked us up on time and was very friendly. His driving was excellent and he informed us of our itinerary en route.
Maciek accompanied us to the gondola and gave out our tickets, explaining how to get to the centre after we'd been up the mountain. Afterwards, he gave us the choice to visit the practice ski jumps which we hadn't seen expected. At the thermal baths he arranged the collection of our bands and gave recommendations which pools and spa facilities to use.
All information was given clearly and Maciek made sure that everyone in the group was happy and understood everything. An excellent day trip.

Thermal Pools - A very chilled, relaxing few hours in the thermal baths. Plenty of different pools and areas to relax or swim in. There is an adults only zone outside with a swim up bar with plenty of drinks available.
There’s also a few places to eat with a good selection of foods.
Everything that you can purchase in the pools is done by tapping a wristband that you are given, so no need to carry wallet or phone around, this also lets you into your locker.
Our driver, Maciek, was a really nice guy who explained everything as we arrived to make sure we got the most out of our time there.
Thank you 👍🏻

Worth every penny and a great company! - This tour was worth every penny.
Really friendly tour guide, very polite with safe driving ( 1.5/ 2 hour drive to and from). Unfortunately I cannot remember the tour guide/ drivers name but he Is a credit to the company.
Everything is sorted for you, you just have to turn up to the meeting point! The thermal spa was a great experience and the evening experience to me was more than enough.
Will be recommending them to family and friends.

Change of scenery - Incredible view of the mountains! Nice decor. A real change of scenery. Too bad, a little disappointed by the village of Zakopone, less typical than we thought and too touristy. Very good getaway to the thermal baths, great for relaxation with a breathtaking view. Thanks to our driver Maciek, very kind and careful. Great driver!

Zakopane is stunning. Avoid the baths - Highly recommend zacopane gorgeous view of the mountains and plenty of food and drink places and shopping. A must if your in Poland. Funicular up the mountain is ace. Driver was fantastic we did private car he was very knowledgeable (hubert) and great company. Very long journey from krakow 2hrs but worth it. Thermal baths aren't worth going to in my opinion as it was a glorified swimming pool that's heated. Have to hire towels. There's saunas and steam rooms but you can get that anywhere now. Great views again but that's it. Not worth the money.
