GroupVerified bookingFeb 20265/5In your own words: Write a very positive review about the Krakow to Zakopane Day Trip with Chochołów Thermal Spa, Cable Car, and Transportation Included. Our guide was Antoni. In ChatGPT's words: The day trip from Krakow to Zakopane with admission to Chochołów Thermal Spa, cable car, and transportation included completely exceeded our expectations! It was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of our trip to Poland. The organization was impeccable from the start: comfortable transportation, punctual schedules, and a very well-structured program, which allowed us to enjoy every moment without rushing or worrying. The scenery along the way is simply breathtaking, and Zakopane has a unique charm with its typical architecture and cozy mountain atmosphere. The cable car provided absolutely incredible views of the Tatra Mountains — a memorable and perfect moment for photos. The Chochołów Thermal Spa was the ideal balance between relaxation and fun. The thermal pools are excellent, very well maintained, and set in a wonderful natural setting. It was the perfect end to an already fantastic day. A very special mention goes to our guide, Antoni. Extremely professional, friendly, and always available, he made the whole experience even more enriching. He demonstrated a deep knowledge of the region, sharing interesting information and curiosities along the way, always in good spirits and attentive to the group. We felt accompanied and well cared for at all times. We 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Krakow. It is a complete experience, combining nature, culture, adventure, and relaxation—and with a guide like Antoni, it becomes simply unforgettable!MMartha P

CoupleVerified bookingJan 20265/5Lovely full day out with our guide Mirek and driver Stan. The admission was roughly £70pp - a very good price considering that this includes the seamless transfer from Krakow and back, multiple stops including a Chochołów village, cheese & vodka tasting, Zakopane (with funicular ride to Gubałówka mountain) and also the thermal baths (so much fun and great experience!). Breathtaking part of the world to see and visit, especially at this time of year in the snow. Mirek was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and funny. Would certainly recommend to people to book this trip for a full day outing! Dziękuję!SSilvia B

Immerse in Zakopane's rustic charm
As your journey begins from Krakow, prepare to be mesmerized by the scenic splendor en route to Zakopane. Upon arrival, be greeted by meticulously scrubbed wooden houses, showcasing the unique architecture of this mountainous haven. Next, be treated to a sensory delight at a local cheese factory, witnessing the making of Oscypek, the smoked sheep cheese that has been a part of Zakopane's heritage for centuries. Enjoy the flavor of this exquisite cheese, complemented by the sweetness of cranberry jam. A sampling of Polish vodka adds a spirited kick to your tasting experience.
From mountain peaks to healing pools
A thrilling cable car ride will transport you to the top of Gubałówka Mountain, where you can soak in panoramic views of the majestic Tatra Mountains. Stroll along the vibrant Krupówki Street, the heart of Zakopane, brimming with regional restaurants, souvenir shops, and local product stalls, offering you a slice of the local life. After exploring Zakopane, descend to the Chocholow Thermal Pools. These geothermal pools, filled with healing waters, offer the perfect end to your adventure-packed day. Immerse yourself in this rejuvenating experience before your comfortable return journey to Krakow.
