It was a really good day trip out, very enjoyable and the tour guide was very informative and entertaining at the same time. For me the hot pool spa was the the best bit, but they build you up to that as the day goes on.I would definitely recommend this excursion, a full day out and very good value for money.

A really enjoyable day out despite a couple of issues that the tour company could not be blamed for. First the funicular railway was closed for servicing (during the Easter hols? Not a great decision). Second, the weather was cloudy so the Mountain views were limited. Apart from that we had a good day made better by our outstanding guide Mike. He was very funny and knowledgable throughout the day. He does not know Kevin Costner though! 😉. Driver Peter should also get a mention. Quality safe skills in some tight spots. Highlights for our family were the town of Zakopane itself, the Shepherds hut vodka & cheese and the Thermal baths which we thought were fantastic. They are so well cared for, clean and tidy. We tried different ones, including the one with the swim up bar. The facilities are like Centre Parcs but much cleaner.
