★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10,720 reviews · 11 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $54Our pick

Travel from Krakow into the Tatra foothills for a Gubalowka funicular ride, highlander cheese and regional alcohol tasting, free time in Zakopane, and three hours at Chochołow Baths. Guides such as Bart, Mirek, Simon, and Niko are praised for clear communication and good humor.

“The tour operator, and Niko - fantastic! Very chatty, and an easy to communicate with. Only downside was that hearing Niko on the bus was difficult, would suggest a better sound system when making announcements. However communication was spot on, and easy to chat via WhatsApp. The tour itself was very average, and could have done with less time in the mountain villages, as the stops were nothing special.”
