Review of Krakow’s Zakopane day trip, with Gubałówka funicular, oscypek tasting, Krupówki and three hours at thermal baths.

“It was good but it felt like we barely did anything. We weren’t given much time to walk around the actual center town of zakopane. I think our guide cut us short an hour. But the experience was good.”

Review of the Krakow to Zakopane day tour, with oscypek tasting, Chochołów, Krupówki Street, and Gubałówka funicular views.

“We opted for the cheese and alcohol tasting and funicular ride tour. From our pick-up by our guide Olaf, to our drop-off point, the day was of the highest quality. Whilst we were on a stop off we encounter a procession, which when we asked was Corpus Christi day. That was lovely as was our viewing the wooden houses. The next stop off was the tasting session. This was truly fantastic; the cheese was accompanied with cranberry sauce and was delicious. The quince vodka was to die for and extremely refreshing. Then onto the funicular ride, so much beautiful scenery, truly breathtaking. Free time in Zakopane was really good. Our…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 171 reviews · 11 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $102

Review of the Zakopane day tour from Krakow, with oscypek and vodka tasting, Gubałówka funicular views, free time, and practical tips.

“Guide/driver Michal was excellent. Picked up and dropped off outside the hotel punctually. Starting the day with barbequed cheese and vodka before midday puts a spring in your step. Zakopane is very scenic and the included funicular ride gives views across the valley to the Tatra mountains. The optional gravity slide is fun and gives more great views. Parts of Zakopane suffer from it's success as a tourist destination but still a great day out, especially with the glorious late September weather.”

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.”

“Nuestro conductor Kuba fue muy puntual y amable. Fue haciendo paradas durante la ruta en sitios interesantes que no estaban especificados en la excursión, como una pista de salto de ski y una granja de queso. Experiencia muy recomendable y completa, para hacer cosas diferentes y divertidas como subir al fonicular y darse un baño en las termas. Fue un detalle por parte de la empresa Welcome in Cracow seguir adelante con la excursión a pesar de que solo éramos dos personas, mi pareja y yo y quizás otro operador hubiera anulado la actividad por no llegar al mínimo de personas para realizar la visita, por lo cual tuvimos la…”
