“What a sweet and kind tour guide! Really informative and interactive with the group and funny sense of humour. Really liked the suggestions he gave for us regarding places to eat in Zakopane and even Krakow. The only downside was how busy each activity was and it meant that we had to rush round a bit to get to everything - this of course couldn’t be helped by the tour guide but I think for future travellers, this should be a disclaimer as for myself and my group this felt very overwhelming at times.”

“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 😊”
