The guide was very interactive and friendly
Great Tour! Definitely adventure outside the city. Tom was a great guide.
Had an amazing day trip to Zakopane. Our tour guide was Tom. He was brilliant very informative, gave us loads of recommendations of where to eat and what to see when in Zakopane, and was very funny and made sure everyone had a great time. Zakopane was beautiful and we would like to go back for some hiking some day. Loved the stop off after for cheese and vodka haha. Brilliant day out, highly recommend.
Tommy was great and informative
Tom was a great guide very informative and we saw everything we wanted to on the trip pick up point and drop off were first class Thanks, Tom
Tom was excellent guide , very informative and helpful. Prompt service
Great day out, the time spent at zakopane was just right if not a bit too long maybe 2 hours 30 everything was done personally. Group size was good, couples and and a few solo travellers. Lots of talk about Polands history and politics so wouldn’t recommend if you don’t like that. It does open your eyes to a lot of history of Poland and informs a lot about polish people. Tom was a great guide, really chatty and informative.
Tom excellent guide Made the trip extra special Bridget and John
Had an amazing day with Tom. Zakopane and the mountauns are stunning and i would highlight recommend a full day tour. He was friendly, funny and informative. Told us so much about Poland. It was a pleasure spending the day with him.
Meeting point was great and Tom was on time. Tom was a great guide and driver. Group was small, which I think made the experience much better. He took us to great places. Gave us a great taste of local culture and food. Was given plenty of time to spend in village and on the mountain. Tom was great and would highly recommend this tour with Tom. Excellent for the price. We had a great time and an experience we won't forget.
Bart was wonderful! Smooth pickup in the morning (send pictures) and easygoing day with lots of communication about where/when to meet. Small group made the experience more intimate. Never worried we would be left behind (as other tours).
Great tour got to see lots of rural countryside away from krakow on my holiday. Really convenient came straight to our door and our tour guide tom was great. But you do gamble on seeing the mountain in winter
Great day out made special by our tour guide Tomek!
Not the best weather, but very interesting trip with guide Bart. Beautiful places, worth it to visit again.
Liked the guide, the weather was disappointing, but everything was organized very well
Had a great day, Tom our tour guide was brilliant. From pickup to drop off we were told the history of Poland which was very interesting. As a group we all had an amazing time, we met some lovely people. Zakopane was beautiful, the traditional shepherds hut was a lovely touch on the way back, you must visit, you will not be disappointed & hopefully you will get Tom.
Had a fantastic time even though it rained all day. Our guide Tom went above and beyond and was extremely informative on every question the group asked whether it was regarding the tour or not. He took us on scenic routes so we got the full experience outside of Krakow
Tom was an excellent guide. He was so proud of his country and heritage. He was very well informed and made our trip very enjoyable
Tom was an amazing tour guide . We did not feel rushed and he made sure we covered all the interesting spots . Would highly recommend him .
Amazing day . Thank you Tom for all the information about Krakow and making sure it was an unforgetable experience.
Tom is an extraordinary guide. Throughout the entire trip, he was attentive to every guest, clearly striving to ensure that everyone had a wonderful time. He possesses a vast wealth of knowledge—the kind that can only be acquired through in-depth study. Geography, history, traditions, jokes—he knows it all. Moreover, he is an incredibly pleasant person—jovial, warm, and approachable. He is the kind of person you would love to meet again; in fact, the next time we plan a trip to beautiful Poland, Tom will be the first person we contact. He approaches tourism as a human connection, rather than as an industry driven solely by profit.
Well, our driver Tom was amazing . Would highly recommend booking with him.
Tom our tour guide was outstanding. Spoke good English. Definitely return and hopefully c Tom again on another trip.
Tom was an excellent guide with stories about everything we saw. Excellent English and great itinerary.

Tom made the whole experience so enjoyable, and it definitely wouldn’t have been the same without him! It was fascinating to learn about the history of Poland, especially from someone who is clearly so passionate about his country and loves sharing its stories. The itinerary was really well planned, and the whole trip was a fantastic experience. I would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting Poland!
I would 100% recommend this tour, when you think Poland could not get better it absolutely did. Zakopane was just stunning and the next time we visit Krakow, we are definitely going to look into spending more time in Zakopane. 🛖🤍 Although it was about an hour and a half away, the bus journey went really quickly as the views and scenery were amazing all the way there. 🏔️ A special shoutout to our tour guide Tom, who was very passionate and knew a lot about the tour. His English was perfect and he made our experience unforgettable. So thank you Tom! 🫶We stopped at a few places on the way there and back, tried some polish cheese and cherry vodka Anyway I won’t spoil it too much because it was a lovely surprise the whole thing, and definitely worth the money. 💰
This was one of my best experiences in Poland. I joined this tour because it is hard to get there by public transport. Tom had arranged a very nice schedule for us to experience every spots in the trip and learnt much more about the history of Poland. Remember to ask him for his secret restaurant list!
Tom is an excellent guide, very recommended! The pick up at the hotel and timing was super. Zakopane itself is a little bit too turistic. The other more typical visited places were good
We had an amazing time on the mountain and Zakopane tour! The scenery was absolutely stunning, and it was a fantastic way to experience the beauty of the Polish mountains and explore Zakopane. Our tour guide Tom was brilliant throughout the day, really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He made the whole experience enjoyable, shared some great information about the area and made sure everyone had a great time. Everything was well organised, and the tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Very much enjoyed the wooden village we passed through, Tom explained how they clean the houses twice a year and it definitely shoeed on the houses that was'nt cleaned! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Poland. Thank you for such a memorable day!
Tom our guide was really good as sharing his knowledge on the way to zakopene. We were lifted at the hotel and returned back to it so we had no bother finding pick up places. Tom left us at zakopene showing us the entrance to use and gave us pick up time. We then had time on the mountain and also time to look round the wee village. Included in the trip was a visit to the shepherds hut where we tried home made cheese and washed down with vodka. I would recommend Tom as a guide as he made the trip very pleasant.
Very good driver, very welcoming and helpful, gave greta stories and information throughouy
I had a great day on this trip with Tomek our guide. Tom had loads of useful information for us and I loved his insights he shared about living in Poland. We saw to great mountain homes and churches en route and Zakopane was nice, though we could have been luckier with the weather. But I had a good explore and tried a lot of local foods and fruity vodka. Highly recommended.
Very pleasant trip from start to finish. Great communication from tour company via WhatsApp. Plenty of time at each stop. Drivers were extremely helpful and very pleasant. Woukd have no problem booking with the company again.
Great guide, learned alot about zakopane and Poland it's self, gave good location for food as well

Great day trip.Our guideTom was highly organised, a fantastic driver and had plenty of useful information to share with us about Krakow, Zakopane and Polish culture and history.
We had a wonderful experience to Zakopane with Tom of Krak Tours. Hotel pick up qas on time and Tom was brilliant telling everyone what will happen today, where we will go and how long each stop will be. Tom was informative on Krakow, Zakopane and most of all, Poland. We got to Zakopane and had 3 hours to our selves. Beautiful place, lovely market stalls and amazing hot chocolates. After Zakopane, Tom took us to The Shepherd's Hut for Polish cheese and vodka. Beautiful scenery and great vodka. Overall, it was a great day out and made much more interesting with Tom as our guide
Great day out with Bart today to Zakopane. Picked up on time, shared lots of information and history on the journey. Would highly recommend:-)
What an amazing trip from start to finish. Our tour guide Bart made the whole day fun and informative. He’s a wealth of knowledge and showed us some great sights along the way and got everyone on our trip involved. The Mountain View’s are excellent and the Shepard’s hut was very unique. If you’re looking for a fun filled day with great scenery then this trip is for you. I’d highly recommend booking with BART as he goes out of his way for you to feel comfortable and have an enjoyable experience.
Bart is the best guide. I can recommend him!
