a wonderful trip

A wonderful trip, we had great winter weather and saw beautiful mountain views. Gubałówka is fantastic, and you can eat and drink regional drinks there. I recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys activity and the mountains!

Zakopane and Thermal Pools

We booked up with relative ease, only slight issue was upon booking our hotel wasn't listed and no info on what to do in that scenario. Turns out they contact you beforehand to confirm the pickup point. Zakopane was a lovely place, interesting architecture and stores. Had a fantastic breakfast there. The thermal pools left a bit to be desired, the tour when booking mentioned free cheese and vodka as part of the experience which wasn't so. And the pools were okay, but by the time you got there, you didn't have much time as we got 2.5hrs in Zakopane and 2.5hrs here after all the travel. Bohdan our driver however was superb. Friendly and informative gentleman he kept in contact with us throughout, gave us information on what we needed and was always prompt. He was a fine example of a good representative. Overall I'd recommend Zakopane, but perhaps not the pools.
