2.Zakopane & Hot Springs Tour with Cable Car (Hotel Pickup)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 771 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $59Top rated

Spend about 11 hours traveling from Krakow to Chocholow and Zakopane, with a cable-car ride up Gubałówka, local cheese and vodka tasting, free time on Krupowki Street, and 2.5 hours at Chochołowskie Termy. Guides such as Adam, Joanna, and Paul are known for clear timing and helpful local tips.

“Such a great experience, it was well lead by our guide Adam who told us lots of fun facts driving around Zakopane. He ensured we were all comfortable throughout, letting us know if we needed anything to inform him and he would try his best to accommodate it. The cheese tasting with cherry and lemon vodka was up there with one of the best things we’ve done while in Poland but the thermal baths were the best thing of the day. I could not recommend this experience enough for the price 😊”
