Tour Reviews
Cracking day out to Zakopane and Richard the driver/guide was very professional and very good, defo recommended
We are delighted with all the care and attention that Dominika and Marcel had with us during the entire trip. The Communication was unambiguous, and they were available at all times to answer any questions and adjust the necessary details. Excellent professional conveyed peace and security. We had a wonderful tour. I highly recommend it because I want everyone to have a wonderful time in Poland as we had.
The pick up to begin with was on time and the comfort for the journey was first class. As for zakopane it's self what a beautiful place to visit. We started our visit with our trip on the funicular railway not knowing what to expect at the top and we were blown away with the spectacular views and the amount of amenities and stalls available aswell as the amount of different activities you would be able to do. We then went for a walk around the town centre that was beautifully well kept with lots of different stalls, shops and restaurants to visit. then on our journey back our driver took us on a slight detour so that we could stop at a look out point with spectacular views.

Our tour today was fantastic! The driver was very witty and on time and the drive itself was comfortable. It was snowing really hard so the roads were a bit dangerous but our driver was very cautious and made sure we got home safely. Zakopane was indeed very busy and with a lot of tourists, but we had plenty of time to see everything we wanted to see. On the way to Zakopane we made two additional stops which were very interesting!
You get a good amount of time to enjoy zakopane I recommend getting tickets for the funicular! The little market at the bottom of the funicular is very nice, as is the market at the top! There are some really nice traditional stalls selling handmade products. I went when the weather was warm and will go back when it is winter as I imagine it is super pretty in the winter months. There is a lot to see, I recommend also going on the little Ferris wheel as you see some good scenes.
