Review of Krakow’s Zakopane day trip, with Tatras views, Gubałówka funicular, oscypek tasting, village stops, and practical travel tips.
“Our driver, David, was excellent; I felt very safe with his driving. And he had good knowledge.”
Review of the Krakow to Zakopane day trip with Gubałówka funicular, oscypek tasting, Chochołów, and Chocholowskie thermal pools.
“This experience is a must try when you visit Krakow, this is my 2nd time doing this experience and it has been amazing. The thermal baths especially are not to be missed and the Zakopane views of the mountains are also very beautiful.”
Review of the Geneva to Gruyères tour with Cailler chocolate, cheese tasting, fondue, medieval streets, and a scenic GoldenPass train ride.
“David, our tour guide, was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive to our needs. I could not recommend this tour more highly”
Review of Geneva’s Gruyères day tour with Cailler chocolate, Gruyère cheese, fondue, medieval village, and GoldenPass train scenery.
“I was in town on business and had one day for touring. This trip had it all. There was a tour of the Cailler chocolate factory. We had lunch at a local farm on the side of a typically alpine mountain. It was idyllic, cows with bells, a father/son team making cheese, fondue, etc. Absolutely amazing. We followed up that feast with about 90 minutes touring Gruyere, a medieval village. The views were amazing, and the group signing in the middle of the town was enchanting. We then rode a train through the mountains to Montreaux, and ended the day driving through the grape-covered hillsides of Lavaoux. If you had…”
Review of a Krakow to Zakopane day trip with Gubałówka funicular, Chochołów village, oscypek cheese, mountain views, and free time.
“This is a fantastic day trip and well worth doing. Our driver and guide Thomasz was excellent and we could not have booked a better trip. The communication from Him before and during the trip was excellent, we loved the vehicle, it was spacious and spotlessly clean, very comfortable to travel in and high off the road to make the most of the spectacular views. The journey from Krakow to Sakopane is painless, the roads are excellent and the scenery gets more spectacular as you drive on. The stops were interesting and Zakopane itself is breathtakingly beautiful. A fantastic trip which I would highly recommend.”
Review of Asturias' Bulnes funicular tour, Picos de Europa scenery, Cabrales cheese cave, cider tasting, price, timing, and practical tips.
“excellent value for money and our host was very informative a full packed day and we would definitely do this trip again- english translation was very good.”
Taste Cailler chocolate, Gruyère cheese, fondue, and mountain views on a full-day tour from Lausanne with a panoramic train ride.
“This was a fantastic, fun day trip from Lausanne. The driver and guide was so friendly and helpful. He showed us the key spots at each stop and gladly took photos for the group, including one in Gruyeres with a fantastic view that we would have missed on our own. He even managed to squeeze in an extra stop with us being ahead of schedule. The scenery on the ride there and back was absolutely breathtaking and we loved tasting the cheese and chocolate. We really felt like we did a lot in just one day and absolutely loved it!”
Review of Krakow’s 9-hour Zakopane tour with Gubałówka funicular, oscypek tasting, Chochołów, ski jump, and mountain views.
“It was a very nice experience. Mido, our guide, was precious, making sure that we were comfortable at all times and giving us all the insider tips! He was very kind and gave us tips also for the rest of our trip. Would recommend him wholeheartedly!”
Review the 12-hour Picos de Europa tour from Gijón, with Bulnes, the funicular, Cares Gorge, Cabrales cheese, and cider tasting.
“The trip was very well organized and executed. From the pick up, to the destinations, and the return- it was all very well done. Santiago, the tour guide, made sure everyone was accounted for and was very responsible and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this for solo travelers who want to get to the Picos and don’t want to drive or figure out transport. The cheese tour was good too- a good way to unwind from the excitement of the Picos de Europa.”
