Absolutely amazing experience, everything ran smoothly and on time. Picked up by Patryk in the taxi outside our hotel and he was lovely, thankyou! Drove us to the bus where we met Adam, our tour guide for the day, kept us all informed about everything, a wealth of knowledge about the local area and everywhere we visited, very informative. Even went as far to whatsapp us some brilliant restaurants to try in Zakopane, which were delicious! Answered all of our questions and kept everyone laughing the whole journey! I would definitely recommend this trip and a massive thank you to Adam and Patryk for getting us there and home safely!

Pros: Beautiful snowy mountains like a winter movie. Sampled smoked cheese and cherry vodna which was a lovely touch. Very friendly people. Cable car ticket to top of mountain. We paid for hot chocolate at the top which changed our lives. Lots of free time to explore Zakopane. Thermal baths were so warm and whilst a little crowded were still comfortable and relaxing with a fantastic view. Cons: Busy minibus with not much room.
