A great experience ce - This trip was on the maybe list, I am so pleased that I took this tour. It was booked via my hotel and the tour was great. The driver, Piotr was on time and a good communicator. He even returned my hat that I’d left in the car the day before, thank you.. After the tour, Piotr dropped me at the station and gave a good explanation of how to find the bus to Zakopane.
Thank you for a great tour..Highly recommended
