The Perfect Guided Tour to Zakopane and the Thermal Baths - We had a wonderful day with Bogdan as our guide from Kraków to Zakopane and then to the thermal baths. I was there with my girlfriend in a group of eight people, and everything was perfectly organized. Bogdan was kind, professional, and very knowledgeable, making the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable for everyone. It was a truly happy and memorable day. Highly recommended!

Antoni was Very friendly and chatty and the whole group came together and had a great laugh. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone travelling to Poland.

Day trip to Zakopane - If you are visiting Zakopane, booking with Antoni is an absolute must. From the moment we hopped into the mini-van, it was clear we were in the hands of a pro. Antoni doesn’t just drive you from A to B; he immerses you in the soul of Zakopane, sharing fascinating insights into the unique architecture, local culture, and history. The highlight was the vodka and cheese tasting (photos attached) —a genius touch that turned a group of strangers into friends. Antoni’s local tips made our free time in the village productive and exciting, and ending the day at the thermal baths was the perfect finishing touch. Whether you're a couple, a family, or a group of friends, Antoni delivers a world-class experience. Don't think twice—just book

Trip from Krakow to Zakopane with a visit to Gubałówka Mountain and Chochołowskie Termy. - The tour was perfectly organized: everything was on time, comfortable transportation, and a well-thought-out itinerary. The climb to Gubałówka offered incredible views of the Tatra Mountains—it's truly worth seeing! The atmosphere in Zakopane is very cozy and vibrant. I'd especially like to thank our tour leader,Bohdan. He proved himself to be a true professional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the history and unique features of the region. Bohdan provided engaging information, answered all questions, and created a very pleasant atmosphere in the group. Thanks to him, the trip was easy, comfortable, and in a great mood. The Chochołowskie Thermal Baths were a wonderful end to the day—relaxing in the warm pools after a hike in the mountains was simply perfect. The trip left only positive emotions. I definitely recommend this tour and especially our tour leader, Bohdan!

Zakopane, cable cars, vodka & cheese tasting & cable cars. Great tour guide - Today I went to Zakopane for the cable cars & the thermal baths, it was an amazing day. There is lots to do, we also booked snowmobiling last minute and it was amazing, definitely recommend. Our tour guide was Filip & he was fantastic, very informative & communicated very well. He was very friendly & spoke very clear English. He brought the group free donuts as a surprise since it’s fat Thursday, which were great. Definitely recommend this trip!

Zakopane/thermal baths Guided Tour - The tour was absolutely amazing as it was but our tour guide Filip made it 10x better. He played good music whilst we was on the way back he explained everything to a great standard. it was very easy to talk to him as he spoke english very clearly. he always asked after every activity was it all okay and did we enjoy it which was really nice. also because it was on “Fat thursday” which is a tradition in poland he got the groups a bunch of donuts which we could eat which i thought was really nice. every part of the tour was perfect. the timing was great we didn’t get rushed around and also the views were absolutely stunning.
