Our favourite day of our trip to Krakow - This was our favourite day of our trip to Krakow. Our host/driver/guide, Maciek, was so helpful, friendly and interesting. He picked us up from the door of our hotel and took us into the mountains, stopping both to explore a beautiful traditional village and then to allow us to have a coffee and some breakfast. He then let us choose which of the two ski resorts to visit, and sorted out our ski equipment and ski pass. Afterwards, he took us to a shepherd's hut to taste some amazing cheese. And then we went into Zakopane, and took the funicular up onto the mountain. We ate and explored. Maciek then took us back to our hotel and chatted with us the whole way home, telling us about different aspects of Poland and Polish life. I so enjoyed talking to him. By the time we got back, it was past 8pm - a very long day for our guide, but he didn't show any sign of weariness. Stupidly we forgot our ski suit in the van, and Maciek and the team were brilliantly helpful at getting it back to us. Legendary Krakow is a fabulous organisation with fabulous staff - if you're considering doing an excursion with them, then don't think twice about it. Go for it!

Skiing and Zakopane visit from krakow - We've had a great day with Hubert today, we visited a local village on the way to skiing and were told about the houses there , we then had 3 hours skiing which Hubert sorted everything for us. On the way to Zakopane we stopped for cheese tasting which was really nice , Hubert told us about how this cheese was made and why it was special, we also bought some to take back with us. We then headed to Zakopane and went up the mountain where there were lovely views and then enjoyed a walk down the main street and had something to eat. We had plenty of time to explore and Hubert checked in with us regularly to make sure we were doing okay. He also told us lots of history and gave recommendations for restaurants and cafes. There were only 4 of us on the transport too which made it more comfortable for a long journey. We went for my fiance's birthday and he said it was the best birthday🎈 I would definitely recommend if you want to be well looked after on a trip and not worry about missing transport.

Francesca - Amazing! - It's been an incredible experience! Janek, our guide, went above and beyond my expectations: not only he is extremely knowledgeable but his love for Polish culture is profound, explaining all the aspects the group was curious about. Definitely the best guide during our stay!

Giuliano - tour to skii, cheese tasting and Zakopane - Amazing tour! We went skiing and Janek helped us find an instructor as we hadn't booked one. Then he took us for cheese tasting and to wonderful Zakopane, which is simply breathtaking! Janek is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He made us trip a bit better. Thanks, Janek! Hope to see you again soon!
