- nicolaswM538QG0 contributionsAmazingMe and my wife loved it,what an experience,will be visiting Poland again next year,such a beautiful place,unbelievably well organised trip to Zakopane,thoroughly enjoyed it.Written 13 December 2024
- Emma J0 contributionsMust do trip when visiting PolandPrior to the trip, Niko kept me well informed of the pickup time and location. The coach arrived on time and from the get go Niko was very informative and made sure he was available for any queries throughout the day. The cheese and vodka tasting session was a great start to the day and the trip to zakopane and the thermal baths lived up to all our expectations! Niko also sent us his recommendations for places to eat which were very useful. Each activity ran smoothly and they made sure we got back at an early enough time where we could still enjoy our night. Special mention again to our guide who made the experience seamless and very enjoyable for us :)Written 13 December 2024

- josephcD1262FR0 contributionsZakopane Day Trip with OlafHighly recommend this trip to those visiting Krakow, especially if Olaf is your host. We felt quite lucky to have the day we got, with the snow and no rain. Well planned day and very informative from Olaf whilst travelling around to each location. As well as this, Olaf sent over a huge recommendation list for when we got back to Krakow on places to visit and where to eat - greatly appreciated!Written 13 December 2024

- A3217YTniamhc0 contributionsGreat day all roundThe tour was great. The amazing view loads of time to view your surroundings. The tour guide Magda was very good. Giving relevant information were needed and made sure that we weren’t delayed at any point. Although its was a long day it was a great experience.Written 13 December 2024
- daisymF420WF0 contributionsDefinitely recommend!We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this day trip. The oscypek was absolutely delicious, the views in Zakopane were breathtaking, and the thermal baths provided a wonderfully relaxing experience. Magda, our tour guide, was excellent—extremely informative and efficient in keeping the itinerary on schedule. The only minor drawback was that the trip, advertised as 11.5 hours, ended up being slightly shorter at 11 hours. While this is a small detail, it would have been nice to have a little extra time either in Zakopane or at the thermal baths. Overall, we highly recommend this trip. It offers fantastic value for money, allowing you to experience a variety of activities in just one day.Written 13 December 2024

Our driver and guide John were great at communicating before and during the tour. We chose to only do the funicular which has great views of the Tatra mountains and not have the spa included which meant we had spectacular views of the sunset in early January from the top of the funicular and walked in the snow to watch the ski lift. We went independently for a lovely local lunch a short walk away from the main tourist/souviner street. Highly recommend!

My wife and I went on a full day trip through Thousand miles Krakow (based in the city centre in the old town) and had a fantastic day out. We were contacted by Monika the day before to confirm pick-up time and location. The minibus was on time with a fantastic and polite driver throughout the day also. Monika broke down the trip’s activities which included a couple of stops (one for a quick toilet break) and the other was to try some fantastic local shepherds cooked cheese with cranberry jam along with a sweet vodka shot, really nice stop. From there we headed to Zakopane for 2 1/2 hours to go up a mountain on a cable car. Unfortunately it was snowing and haze so we did not get to see the great views however it was still very nice. The hot chocolate at the top is a must!! After coming back down we visited a restaurant Monika recommended which for two big portions and two drinks came to 124 zloty (equivalent to £25! Absolute bargain!) from there we left to go to the fantastic water resort that has indoor and outdoor thermal baths (in a thermal bath outside whilst it was snowing was amazing!) we were there approx 2 hours before the trip back into the city square in Krakow. The trip as a whole was great. Monika was brilliant from the moment we met her until the moment we parted ways at the end. So helpful, informative, always wants to help and make sure we have a great time.
The trip as a whole we definitely recommend without question! Thank you very much to Monika and thousand miles Krakow!

First time in Poland for my daughter and I. Maciek was our guide. We loved it! Highly recommend between vodka and cheese tasting, the thermal baths were great and the top of Zakopane is beautiful as a postcard! Thermal baths have a spa section also that you pay a little extra for but def worth it. It is on the top floor, adults only!. If you can get Maciek, he is very entertaining and enthusiastic and adds some extras!! Great experience!

Hello!
Thank you for choosing to spend your first visit to Poland with us and for taking the time to share your wonderful experience. We're thrilled to hear that Maciek made your tour especially memorable with his enthusiasm and entertaining style. It sounds like the combination of vodka and cheese tasting, along with the scenic beauty of Zakopane and the relaxing thermal baths, truly made your trip exceptional.
We're glad you enjoyed the spa section of the baths as well—it's indeed a little extra treat worth indulging in! Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're so pleased that you and your daughter had a great time.
We look forward to welcoming you back on another adventure soon. Thank you once again for your kind words and high praise!
Warm regards,
Fabrice

The tour itself is really well organised, even thought it is a very long day as Zakopane is quite a long distance from Krakow.
Our pick up was right on time, the driver was great, maneuvered the traffic and narrow roads with precision and was very courteous.
Zakopane is a lovely (although very busy place to visit during the summer/school holidays). The smoked cheese and vodka tasting were a highlight and a lovely experience and the Bukovina Thermal baths were a nice way to finish off the day.
My disappointment was the guide. If you are on a tour bus for so many hours, why don't you tell the people about the places we are driving through or going to visit when we get there? telling people that you sent them a link to read is just lazy.
Also, when we got to Zakopane we had to queue up with everyone else to get on the chair lift, this queuing up eats into your tour tour time and no-one enjoys queuing up for over 40 minutes to get up in a chair lift and then you need to queue up to come back down - what is the point of booking the tour when you just need to do things like everyone else and you have no priority? You need to do your own research and queuing up? I could have caught a public bus or taxi and had the same experience instead of booking the tour.

After receiving this opinion about our trip to Zakopane, we concluded that unfortunately we could not agree with it.
Our driver, Patryk, is one of the best, he guides trips well and always collects a lot of good opinions from satisfied customers. After explaining with him, we can come to the conclusion that our guests could have had a problem through the language barrier, because our trip to Zakopane is always in English. Patryk made this tour thoroughly and explained everything in detail. In addition, our driver also asked if the guest needed additional information (we are always open to questions and telling interesting facts about places).
We must also point out that our trip to Zakopane is a bestseller and also very popular, so we are really sad for the dissatisfied guest.
It is also worth mentioning that the city of Zakopane is really very popular and adored by tourists, which is why there will always be a lot of people here.
Thank You for your review!
Kind Regards,
Julia

An incredibly good driver (he speaks excellent English, drives a car well and will tell you about good places for a photos) and a very beautiful place!
Not only did I taste the insanely delicious fried cheese right on the farm (I advise you to take a closer look at the homemade jam there. I really regret not buying it then!), So I also managed to catch two rainbows in the mountains at once :) The city has a very cozy atmosphere and a large number of local business immediately becomes noticeable - you can find unique things. Would highly recommend this tour!

Me and my husband took few days break to Poland and we decided to visit the Zakopane optional hot baths and oh my god they were out of this world!!! Reason why we book this trip as my husband suffered a heart attack last Christmas and we wanted a nice city break away to relax and here at the baths is what we both need the relaxation was nothing I ever dreamed of before. I want to thank our tour guide Olaf who was so pleasant and so kind the whole journey out he made our experience more relaxed and so enjoyable
Would really recommend this tour.

What an incredible place this is! We were impressed from the start, they are incredibly organised and picked us up even earlier than the time stated and we couldn't have asked for a better person than Monika to pick us up. She made us feel very at ease and was so friendly it was a pleasure meeting her! Then we got on the bus to which Hubert was our tour guide who was equally friendly and went through everything with us. Zakopane itself is just an incredible place and we absolutely loved it! All in all the day was superb and I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking to book a tour with them and would even use them again in the future if we are back in Poland again. Thank you very much again 😊

Ref.: group tour to Zakopane, funicular, and thermal baths. Both, the local agency Thousand Miles, and the platform through which I booked the tour, Guide to Europe, have been absolutely professional in every sense. Customer attention was impeccable; they cleared all my doubts and made every effort to meet my needs. They tour was exactly as described on the website, with no disappointing surprises. I was punctually picked up and dropped off at the settled address, at my apartment. The guide Maciek was excellent, same as the drivers. He is very enthusiastic, and made us enjoy the whole tour although it rained all day long. In a few words, a first rate tour.

We had a great trip - Pawel, our guide and his colleague the driver were absolutely great. They were responsive to our questions and requests. Pawel was extremely patient when trying to herd a group of middle aged ladies through the turnstiles of the funicular railway and dealt with humour our troubles with technology and bar codes. The views from the mountain were spectacular. We then went to the thermal baths which was the highlight of the day. Swimming outside in the thermal pool was truly magical! Would recommend for this experience alone!

I gave 5 stars as Gosia was a brilliant guide and had a great overall day. Only criticism was if you are collecting guests from outside the city centre then either make them meet in the city or pick them up first. Another 30 minutes on each end of a long journey for airport pickups seemed excessive. Zakopane was beautiful on a lovely summers day. Thermal bath at Bukovina was an enjoyable and relaxing way to spend 2.5 hours. Views from the funicular was very pretty. Its a full 12 hour day out with almost 50% of time travelling in all.
