A fantastic trip—a chance to completely unwind. Highly recommended. Our guide, Magda, and our driver, Kamil, are great. The atmosphere was wonderful; we had a blast.

A nice trip, but not very exciting. The guide was very friendly but didn't provide in-depth explanations of the places we visited. The stops weren't very interesting, except for the cable car and the hot springs. The hot springs were large but crowded, especially with children.

We had a wonderful day trip. Let by our guide Michal who was excellent throughout. The spa was huge, with so many pools to choose from, both fun and relaxing. The cheese was very tasty, and the vodka was so nice we bought some to take home as well. The town of Zakopane was lovely to walk around, and we ate at Karczma Zapiecek thanks to recommendations from Michal. Michal really made it a memorable trip, he was really fun and insightful throughout, giving us recommendations, making sure we knew exactly what we needed to do at every location, and made sure we didn't lose track of time and making sure everyone made it back safely.

Booked the full day trip to Zakopane and Thermal Baths and had Mirek as our guide. He was absolutely amazing and great fun. Ran on schedule with updates the day before on pickup times etc. Had time to ourselves when we arrived in Zakopane after a few stops on the way for vodka and cheese tasting. If you're thinking about booking I definitely recommend! Highlight of the trip. Thank you Mirek and driver Matthew !
