Zakopane Tour with Hot Bath Pools and Hotel Pickup

We had a excellent trip to Zakopane. Our tour guide Eri was very friendly and he told us our itinerary for the day. We stopped at the shepherds hut for vodka and sheep milk cheese which was delicious. Then we went on the cable cart up the mountain, this was fun. The thermal baths were very relaxing. A really enjoyable day. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful day with our tour guide nothing to much trouble Natalia was a really good guide very helpful and fun to be with .would recommend.

Great experience! Tour guide Mike was knowledgeable, professional and courteous. He also has excellent taste in his music selection, which was nice on a long drive. Van was clean, Mike provided drinking water and small snacks. This would be a recommended trip for anyone seeking beautiful landscape and relaxing pools. (Food was also good at venue)

We thoroughly enjoyed our day, beautiful scenery. Our tour guide Hubert was amazing and talked us through each part of the day. We enjoyed trying the cheese and vodka and exploring Zakapone. The thermal baths were very relaxing with lovely views of the national park.

We completed the Zakapone Tour on Friday April 1st 2022. We were picked up close to our hotel (in the old town square) at 9am by our driver Eri who incredibly friendly and helpful both in terms of organising the pick via Whatsapp the day before and also when we arrived. We picked up fellow travellers Zara & Nicola and Jeff and his wife (sorry I forgot her name!!) from their hotel on the outskirts of town. We could not have asked for better company and we had a lot of fun with everyone. The tour started with an hour and 15 minutes drive to a small village were we tasted smoked cheese and were allowed to sample some high strength vodka (don't worry it is optional and it is a very small shot glass). While we don't really like cheese it was actually quite nice and it was a quaint little wooden hut with a smoke pit in the middle. From there we headed to Zakapone which was another 45 minutes and it was a spectacular drive as it was snowing the whole day. We took the cable car up to the top of the mountain and unfortunately due to the snow the views down over the city were not too clear but it was still a spectacular location. There is a cafe up there but the staff are not very friendly, but it is fine if you want a quick coffee.... We then spent the rest of the time in Zakapone in the town centre (looks like a town but is actually classed as a City). There are loads of nice shops and plenty of restaurants and I would advise out of the 2.5 hours there to give yourself at least an hour to dander around as it is very pretty. After that we headed up further in the mountains to what I would describe as a Leisure Centre on top of cliff. It was absolutely incredible overlooking all the trees and forests which were covered in snow. This leisure centre is just unreal, I have NEVER seen anything like it. There are 3 floors and a mixture of indoor pools and jacuzzi's, but more importantly 3 x outdoor pools which are piping hot but hey are outdoors so it was -3 degrees and snowing which was an amazing expertience. You are lovely and warm but aware that it is absolutely freezing at the same time. We spent 2.5 hours there and I could have spent all day it was that good! After that we drove back and got to Krakow at about 7.30pm in time for dinner. I want to thank Eri for his excellent navigation, his happy go lucky attitude and he also bought us water and croissants for the way back in case we got hungry which I thought was a lovely touch. I would highly recommend this tour, it is worth every penny!

A day that is definitely worth it. The downside was the sheep weren’t out due to weather and the cheese & vodka tasting could’ve had a little more explanation. It just felt like a quick stop that was a little pointless as we didn’t even know there was a shop until we were pulling away. Zakopane was beautiful but we didn’t feel like there was not quite enough time to explore, have a drink and eat. It felt a little rushed. When we arrived at the hot pools we were told we had 2.5 hours which was probably a little room much and the extra 30 minutes would’ve been better in the village. Other than that we loved it. The pools were AMAZING especially as it was a chilly day with snow

The views over the mountains were amazing ! We were lucky with the weather as it was a gorgeous sunny day! The hot baths were nice and relaxing to! Had a great day

We had a great day with our tour guide, Rose! I would 100% recommend doing any tour with her. Rose was incredibly nice and made us feel welcomed very quickly. If you’re even thinking about it, you gotta go!

Amazing experience, we were contacted the evening before to confirm collection place and time (right outside our hotel) and greeted by the nicest guy ever! He took full ownership of us ensuring we had the best time possible and throughout the day sent us recommendations for restaurants and places to check out. I would recommend this to everyone visiting Poland, it really made our trip!

Had a great time and monika was so helpful! The thermal baths were a highlight as was the small town with huts
