Great experience with Artur - Excellent experience delivered by, Artur. He was on time and very polite and communicative. He gave us many facts about the sites we visited and the history associated with it. He made sure we were taken care of at each of our stops. He never rushed us and gave us sufficient time to explore. Very attentive and great to talk to during the drive. I would highly recommend the tour as everything is taken care of for you, and if possible request Artur to be your driver/guide for the tour! Thanks again, Artur!

Fairytale day trip in the snow - Excellent day trip to Zakopane, Thomas was a great guide made our trip even better. Delicious cheese tasting, we brought so much to take home. Beautiful wooden church in the middle of nowhere and amazing views after taking the funicular of the mountains and Zakopane. Highly recommend day out. Thank you Thomas.

This was our favorite day in Poland - Tomasz made our day both relaxing and fun. This was our second trip with him and we will use him again. His knowledge of the places we visited enabled him to not only share interesting information but also helped him navigate the best places to park, hike, eat, and explore. He gave us several choices of what we could explore on our way to Zakopane and made each experience pleasant and culturally rich. He is so relaxed, good-natured, funny, and intelligent, so we had good conversation, but he was sensitive to give us space. He obviously enjoyed making our experience wonderful.

Private tour to Zakopane - the highlight of our trip to Krakow! - Tomasz was an outstanding driver and guide for our visit to Zakopane. We had great conversations on the way and he was very informative when we stopped at various sights. The architecture of the homes in Chocolow, the sheep's cheese tasting we did, the wooden church the highlanders built were some of the highlights. When we got to Zakopane, he gave us plenty of time to walk around, grab some lunch, and just take in the sights. The weather was absolutely perfect, so the highlight of the trip was the funicular ride up to the top of Gubalowski hill to see the mountains and the village below. An outstaing private tour and a very memorable day. Highly recommended.

An absolutely perfect day in Zakopane - Tomasz was an outstanding driver and guide. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. We had great conversation about many subjects including the building architecture in Chocolow. The stop for some local sheep’s cheese was great and our time in Zakopane was not rushed. He took care of everything for us so we could just enjoy the charm
Of the countryside and the town. The highlight was the ride up the funicular to the top of Gubałówka. The view was spectacular. This tour is definitely worth it and I would highly recommend it.

An incredible day of stress free exploring - I would highly recommend booking this tour. We booked the private tour and loved every second. Tomasz is an incredible guide with the right balance of informing you about the history or story about an area workout droning on and on. He makes the trip so easy by taking care of the driving, the parking, the tickets and orienting you so you know where to explore. Then we got to relax all the way back to the hotel and enjoy the countryside views out the window.
