We had a really amazing experience on this trip. One part of the tour was cancelled as it was closed due to maintenance, but they let us know in advance and we chose to reschedule but they also offered a partial refund. Our driver Maciej was great, on time, and had a good sense of humour. He really gave us the time to explore everything, we never felt rushed, and he even allowed us some extra time to see the centre of Zakopane when we got stuck in a long queue to return down the mountain as it was Independence Day and very busy! He also pointed out a couple interesting things on the journey that you might have missed otherwise, and kept us informed of our timings. He drove well too and I felt safe the whole way. It was quite a busy day but each destination was totally worth it and it was all beautiful - the walk in Slovakia is stunning and the thermal baths were much more entertaining than I had thought. I would definitely recommend to anyone, and was a highlight or our trip :)

One part of our tour was cancelled however that did not change how amazing the experience was. Our tour guide Gregory was extremely friendly, helpful and knew all that there’s needs to be known about Krakow/Zakopane. Would definitely recommend this tour great value for money and an overall awesome experience.

One of the best trips ever ❤️ driver was brilliant well done victor, full of information ..very nice lad..the day was amazing would recommend %.if in krakow try take in this day out. Extra layers needed extremely cold but did not put a damper on the day loved it will remember for sure

Driver was very sweet and enthusiastic throughout the journey. Trip was relaxing and the view was breathtaking. Was worth the money in my opinion:)

I had a solo trip to Zakopane and the Treetop Walk in Slovakia. Thomasz was a good, safe driver and had a good sense of humor. I enjoyed my tour.
