We were met by our driver and guide Stan at our hotel, I think there was 7 people on the tour on the day we did this 11.06.2025. Stan arrived at the time he had agreed on the day previously over whatsapp.
The drive took about 90 minutes with a stop on route for people to use toilets etc and we continued to do the tour stopping at the villages along the way for cheese and vodka tasting. We arrived at Zakopane and were all given tickets for the Funicular railway which is one of the most scenic I have been on. We also had about 3 hours of personal time here to look around the resort, get food etc, 3 hours was plenty of time. We all met back at Stans van and then on the way back to Krakow we stopped to look at the Olympic ski jumps and Stan filled us in on some personal stories about his love for the sport.
We stopped at a really cool church on the way back to Krakow for pictures and to stretch our legs and it was quite amazing. Tucked away on a mountain side.
Overall a great day sight seeing with some excellent company. The guides make days like this and Stans knowedge of the area and laid back attitiude and openesss to questions really helped make it an enjoyable day.
If I were in the area again, I would look up Krak Tours and see what other things they offer.
