Full description

Escape the city and spend a day exploring the Polish countryside in the comfort of a private vehicle. See traditional wooden houses, view the Tatras mountain range from the top of Gubałówka Hill, and taste traditional smoked sheep-milk cheese.

Begin your tour with a pickup from a location of your choosing in Krakow. Hop onboard an air-conditioned vehicle and head towards one of the most picturesque locations in Poland, Zakopane and the Tatras Mountains.

Once in Zakopane, head straight to Krupówki Street located in the center of town. Explore the many boutiques, restaurants, and curio shops that line this pedestrian-only street. At the end of Krupówki Street, you'll find your next stop on the tour, the station for the Gubałówka Hill funicular.

Hop onto one of the cable car and enjoy fantastic views of Zakopane and the surrounding mountains as you make your way up Gubałówka Hill. 

Once at the top, marvel at the breathtaking views of the Polish Tatras Mountains. Make the most of this fantastic location and enjoy a glass of mulled wine or a refreshing drink while taking in the views.

Visit the Jaszczurówka Chapel, a wooden building located on the outskirts of Zakopane, and see Wielka Krokiew, the biggest and most famous ski jumping hill in Poland.

The final stop on your tour is the village of Chochołów. Admire the unusual architectural style of the famous wooden houses and see the Bacówkach, the traditional houses where Oscypek or smoked cheese is produced. 

Learn how this local specialty is made and sample various types to discover the different flavors created by the level of smoking.

The trip was very well planned and our guide Mariusz was very kind, informative and took good care of us. He was knowledgeable about the things he showed us and super friendly. I can very much recommend a tour with Mariusz as a guide. Zakopane is a beautiful place!

Memorable. Mini bus seat layout not good. I felt car sick sitting facing backwards, had to swap seats. Lost time when driver stopped for speeding! Interesting stops. Beautiful mountain resort. Excellent venicular ride to view point. Disastrous behaviour by members of other group involving a hospital visit. Not drivers fault. Arrived back late for birthday dinner !

It was lovely although the weather was misty and cold. As it was a Sunday, the town itself felt dead. The market at the bottom of the funicular was interesting and a mixture of rubbish and useful and beautiful items. Due to the bad weather, the stay at Zakopane could perhaps have been cut with an hour. I imagine if the weather had been good, one would have wanted to stay longer on the mountain. The group was lovely and the driver's English was very good.
