Zakopane tour with tour guide Matthew

Our tour guide Matthew made the journey very well organized and efficient and made good efforts to make journey enjoyable. We were a small group of 4 people. We had sufficient time to visit each site and meeting points and all the information were communicated clearly. This was 11 hour tour including to free hours for visit to Zakopane, funicular ride up to Gubalowka mountain, local experience of tasting cheese and drink and visit to Thermal baths. This journey was both fun and relaxing and was worth the money.

Zakopane tour from Krakow

We bought the tour above via Hellotickets, but got a little bit different tour without lunch option. But that is already refunded. Huge points for: - we were picked-up at our hotel - we had a small group on that little bus - our driver Oscar was super nice and friendly - we had enough time to spend in different locations - we could taste the polish smoked cheese. Because of the weather, we couldn't get the best view from the Gubalowka view point. There must be very beautiful when it is sunny. The smoked cheese was delicious. Highly recommend.

Zakopane trip - AMAZING

Had an amazing day. Excellent communication from Matthew before, during & after the trip. Matthew was waiting on us arriving outside our hotel and the transport was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Great stops along the way to Zakopane. Zakopane is stunningly beautiful, absolutely loved it. Thanks again Matthew, we had a brilliant day.
