Great day out! - Superb day trip. Peter was a safe driver providing a very comfortable journey. It was a great way to see a little bit more of the country during a typical city visit. His friendly manner and local knowledge was perfect for the trip. Time spent at each location was adequate, without feeling rushed. We both thoroughlly enjoyed the trip and would recommend.

A beautiful place to visit - The bus journey is about 1.45 hours from Krakow. Zakopane is a beautiful place to visit- took the funicular to the top, where there are a number of eateries, activities and wooden hut stalls - the view of Tatra Mountains was outstanding. Plus there was still quite a bit of snow at the top!😀We had 3hrs to explore the top and down in the town of Zakopane. We stopped at a shepherds hut to sample some smoked cheese Oscypek which was delicious. We took a quick stop to see a church built in honour of Pope John Paul ll - also 15min stop at Chocholow to see the wooden houses. Tom our guide had bags of energy and knew everything possible about the area. He’s very passionate about his country and spoke excellent English, after having lived in England for sometime. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip, however, I think I’d rather have a bit longer in Zakopane and maybe just drive pass the church and the wooden village, as oppose to having short stops.

Zakopane or china ?!? - Our tour guide was excellent very passionate about his job and informative , but I do not recommend the zakopane day trip , purely because it’s over commercialised with imported tatt , this ruins the aesthetics and quiet honestly it’s small place with not much going on , each restaurant offers the same menu and I decided to venture away in the end a bit of a disappointing day . The stops on the way were pretty but potentially lack the tourists imagination !
