From Krakow: Zakopane Day Tour with Tasting & Funicular Ride

We had a really great time on this trip. The views throughout were beautiful and everything ran smoothly thanks to Magda. She shared loads of useful info and gave some great tips. Timing was spot on at each stop, and we never felt rushed. The local cheese and wine tasting was also a lovely touch. Big thanks to Magda and our driver Slavek for making the day so enjoyable.

Olaf, our guide, was super approachable and knew so much about everything we saw. He made the whole experience more interesting with the way he explained things.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was put together really well. Just a heads-up though, there isn’t really a chance to take a proper walk out in nature during the trip.

Helpful? Yes

We went for the tour that included cheese and alcohol tasting along with a funicular ride. From the moment Olaf picked us up to when we were dropped off, everything was top notch. During one of the stops, we came across a procession and found out it was for Corpus Christi, which was such a nice surprise. We also really enjoyed seeing the wooden houses. The tasting session was a real highlight, cheese served with cranberry sauce was absolutely delicious, and the quince vodka was incredibly smooth and refreshing. The funicular ride offered stunning views that were honestly breathtaking. We also had some free time in Zakopane, which we really enjoyed. Olaf made the whole day even better with his professionalism, deep knowledge, and great sense of humour. Big thanks to him. We'd absolutely recommend this tour to anyone heading to Krakow.

Our guide, Maciek, really got everyone involved, even had us dressing up, which was a fun touch. He was full of interesting info and super approachable. I do wish we’d had a bit more time to wander around Chocholow, though.

Helpful? Yes

It was a lovely day out. Everything was well planned, and our guide was really kind and always ready to help.

Helpful? Yes

Had an awesome day! Peter, our driver, was full of useful info and had a great sense of humour, which made the trip even better. He also gave us handy tips like bringing cash and good places to eat. Really enjoyed it!

Helpful? Yes

The cheese and vodka tasting was really enjoyable. Our guide Marcos and driver Mikael were great, friendly and very attentive. We were a bit let down by how many souvenir shops there were in such a beautiful place, but I guess that’s just how it is. We had booked a French tour, but it actually ended up being in English with a small booklet translated on our phones. It was better than nothing, but it would be clearer if they just said the tour is in English with a booklet to avoid any confusion.

Helpful? Yes

Everything was just perfect. Our guide, Olaf, was super helpful, easy to talk to, and really friendly. He shared some great insights during our countryside tour without ever being overwhelming or boring.

Helpful? Yes

I don’t feel this is worth the price since there’s not much to do once you reach the top after enjoying the view. The 4.5-hour duration felt way too long. On the plus side, Bart, our guide, and his driver were both excellent.

Helpful? Yes

The trip went smoothly and was just like described. Our guide had a great sense of humor and a knack for funny moments. It was a really fantastic trip and definitely worth the price.

Helpful? Yes

Had an amazing time and would definitely come back to visit this place again.

Helpful? Yes

We had a great day out, our guide Pawel kept us well informed. He was punctual, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly throughout. The cheese and generous vodka tasting of two flavors was fantastic. We had plenty of time to explore Zakopane. The funicular ride was enjoyable, and we highly recommend the 40-minute flat walk along the ridge to the Butorowy Wierch Chair Lift that Pawel suggested it was a nice 20-minute round trip bonus. Along the ridge, there were plenty of bars and souvenir and food stalls, so there was lots to see and do. We also had time to visit the local Gubalowka brewery and wander around the charming town of Zakopane. Overall, it was an amazing experience.

Helpful? Yes

It was a really lovely trip from start to finish. Everything ran smoothly, and the scenery was beautiful all along the way. The pace was just right, giving us time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Definitely a great way to spend the day outdoors and take in some fresh air and nature.

Helpful? Yes

The cheese and vodka tasting was really enjoyable! Sadly, because of the weather, we didn’t get to see the mountains, and the cable car wasn’t running due to maintenance. Exploring the town was nice, though, I just felt that four hours of free time there was a bit too long.

Helpful? Yes

Really nice excursion and well organized. Lucio was a very friendly and cheerful guide. The bus was a bit tight with limited space.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide Olaf was fantastic. He knew so much and had a great sense of humor. We gained a really valuable understanding of Zakopane’s history, and he was a very careful driver too. It was a captivating day, made even better thanks to Olaf, who we’d definitely recommend.

Everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish.

Magda, Slawek, and Piotr made our trip really exciting! If anyone’s looking for a fun, relaxed, and informative escape from the city to the mountains and Zakopane, this team and tour are a must. As for recommendations, this is definitely one of my top picks, my personal “Krakow first choice” whenever I’m back here.

Helpful? Yes

It was an amazing experience with stunning views and tasty tastings that really let you enjoy the mountain lifestyle of the Tatras. The trip took us through untouched nature and charming wooden villages. The positive experience was also thanks to the driver, who made the bus ride very comfortable, and our guide Marco, who spoke clear English that was easy to understand even if you’re not fluent. He created a lively, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere, all within a perfectly organized setting. Definitely not to be missed.

Helpful? Yes

The trip was fantastic! Marco, our guide, was amazing, and Greg, our driver, was great too.

Helpful? Yes

It was a really educational trip, and I learned a lot about the terrible events that took place here. The headsets made it easier to hear the guide clearly, but because of that, we didn’t get much chance to read the many information boards around the camp.

Helpful? Yes

Peter was an excellent guide. My partner and I really enjoyed the day together.

Helpful? Yes

There were so many amazing views throughout the day, and it never felt rushed. Lucio was a fantastic guide. I’d definitely recommend this trip. Some spots accepted card payments, but it was useful to have some cash with us too.

Helpful? Yes

It was a nice, full day trip to Zakopane. However, in our opinion, the guide didn’t really add much to the experience, which was a bit disappointing compared to what we expected.

Helpful? Yes

We had an amazing day in Zakopane, including stops at a genuine Polish village and cheese and vodka tasting. Simon was our guide, and he was fantastic! Very informative and great at keeping everything running smoothly. He made us feel comfortable so we could just relax and enjoy the day. I’d definitely recommend both Simon and this tour company.

Helpful? Yes

Really enjoyed the day, it was a great experience. I felt like I did a full day in Zakopane, so next time I’ll spend a whole day at the thermal baths. The pace wasn’t rushed, and there was plenty to see.

Helpful? Yes

Marek and Tom were really welcoming. The tour was extremely well organized, and we felt informed every step of the way, which made everything run smoothly. It was a fantastic trip, and we’d definitely book with them again.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was supposed to be in French, but nothing was actually translated. We were lucky to find two people who spoke a bit of French. Using a phone didn’t help since the guide couldn’t understand it. There were no translated instructions, no schedule, and no clear meeting point. As for the site itself, it’s just as beautiful as places in the French Alps, but with fewer shops. It’s mostly a spot for craft sales.

Helpful? Yes

It was a really beautiful place and a lovely day overall. Our guide Mierk was super helpful and friendly. The cheese was great and the vodka was surprisingly tasty. I’d definitely recommend this 10 out of 10.

Helpful? Yes

Marek, our guide, was really kind, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable. He kept things fun and entertaining throughout the day. It was a pity the fog blocked the views, but we still had a great time exploring Zakopane.

Helpful? Yes

It was such a lovely day trip! Pawel, our guide, was incredibly helpful and genuinely kind. The views were beautiful. All in all, an absolutely wonderful day!

Helpful? Yes

The day was great overall, really enjoyable. I had expected to be on a bus with others just going to Zakopane, but it turned out we were the only five not doing the thermal baths. The tour I booked didn’t include them, so that part was a bit disappointing since it didn’t fully match what I’d signed up for. Still, it didn’t ruin the day just not quite what I expected.

Helpful? Yes

Really great trip got picked up on time from the hotel in a comfortable minibus. The driver, Peter, gave us lots of useful info about the tour and had a deep knowledge of both Polish and European history. He talked us through the places we passed in a really engaging and interesting way. It made the ride even better. All in all, a great day and definitely worth the money. Peter was an excellent guide and driver.
