Sightseeing, spare time
The thermal pools in Chochołów are one of the largest facilities of this kind in Poland. The health properties of the water have a positive impact on the skin and overall well-being. Pool bars allow for a moment of relaxation with a drink. Families traveling with children will also find something for themselves because every entrance ticket we offer at Chocholow Termal Baths grants access to all zones (except the sauna). Don't forget to bring your phone and capture unforgettable moments! (IF OPTION SELECTED)

Traveler reviews
Absolutely horrendous!
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY stay well away from Thousand Miles Tour Company booked through Get Your Guide. My friend & I (both ladies over 60) were left completely stranded by Thousand Miles when they left us behind about two & half hours from our hotel in the pitch black, taking all of our personal belongings including money, credit cards, passports, medication, our hotel room key & many other things with them in our bags on their bus, We didn’t know if we would retrieve our property & were due to fly home the next day. Whilst the company responded to my complaint saying I signed an agreement regarding wait times they have not been able to provide a copy of this. Claiming they had a time schedule to keep to meaning they could not wait for us or try to find us & yet they had time on the home journey to stop for the driver to have a cigarette! Being completely abandoned & stranded was an horrendous & terrible experience which will stay with us forever & considering the world we live in, is so very frightening to think of what could’ve happened. I am posting this so women stay safe in this world & do not find themselves in such a dangerous & vulnerable position because of this company. Please, please use an alternative. STAY AWAY,!
BEWARE OF BAD TREATMENT - BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE
Appalling treatment by this company. I have screenshots to show their “pilot” as they called him messaged me the night before adjusting the pickup time from 9 am to 8.05 am. I messaged him back twice to advise that I could not make 8.05 (prior commitment) and would be at hotel for pickup at 9 am. No further contact from him apart from message at 07.29 this morning. I didn’t pick the message up til 08.00 (prior commitment) and got to the hotel pickup point at 08.20 by which time they had left without me. Contacted the office to rearrange trip and they WOULD NOT rearrange NOR give me a refund. Beware! I have the messages on my phone to prove what happened and when but they pretty much said I was lying!
Countryside of Poland (Zakopane)
What a fantastic experience! Fabian exuded professionalism and was incredibly composed. The whole thing was well considered. the mood of the music, the temperature of the vehicle—which was, incidentally, driven by Konrad, a skilled driver—and the timing of each spot. I will unquestionably suggest Fabian and Konrad together as a tandem for the tour.
Brilliant Zakopane trip
We really enjoyed our trip with Kaya & Michael. Well thought out and ran smoothly, but did not feel rushed. I felt we had a great personal experience and Kaya spoke excellent English with humour 😀
Nice little trip but not what I expected
Beware! if not choosing the baths option... it means you sit for 3 hours doing nothing at the resort while the other people go to the pools. I thought that it would a separate tour so the people going to the pools would go there, and others would go back to Krakow.. no... The guide Simon was lovely and did everything he could to make our tour great. He tried to get us back to avoid sitting around for 3 hours but it was not in his control. I loved the little village and the cheese and "vodka" tasting and Zapone was amazing.. shame it wasn't great weather when I was there but I loved it anyway.
