Zakapane and the country side is beautiful but wouldn’t go again. Our tour guide, Michael was good. Our bus was too crowded. If you sit in the back row of the bus like I had to you can’t see anything as there are no windows for the back row so a waste of money. The company should not place people in the back row since you can’t see but there is no way to control what seat you get on the bus since it’s first come first serve.

Great tour to Zakopane with nice little stops to have cheese and vodka, see a couple UNESCO sites and ride the cable car up to the mountain peak. Our guide Mateusz was great, very knowledgeable and in very good spirits.

Zakopane was very beautiful and worth seeing however the drive was a bit uncomfortable, the driver was silent throughout the drive and we were a small group, felt a bit uncomfortable as that usually you are introduced to one another. Just an awkward long drive of silence both there and on return

Lots of cute stops in and around Zakopane. Lovely wooden homes and oh! The Cheese! Delicious experience different to Krakow. Great tour but would recommend in winter or summer to enjoy the mountains better. You get three hours to explore city life. Overall a great experience with lots of free time to explore the town, this tour does not go into the mountains - great for young and old.
