Winter capital of Poland
Zakopane Private Day Trips - Excursion to Tatra Mountains
The charming city of Zakopane, located at the foot of the Tatra mountains, is visited all year long by many Polish and International tourists.
Founded in the 16th century on seasonal shepherd settlements it has evolved into an impressive city through the years.
Iddylic views of the mountains, ever so close to nature, unique architectural style, lots of hiking tracks and ski slopes – all of which make Zakopane the most popular destination if you’re looking for a place to relax and escape from buzz of the city.
On the route to Zakopane we’ll stop in Chochołów – the wooden village. People still live there in the original wooden houses built by the Polish highlanders, which are under the patronage of UNESCO. You will get a chance to go inside one of them to experience how people used to live. After that we will visit a Bacowka (traditional shepherd’s hut) where you will have a chance to try famous regional cheese – Oscypek and see how it is prepared.
The Zakopane tour starts out with a breathtaking panorama of the Tatra Mountains, viewed from the top of the Gubalowka Hill, and a fanicular will take you there.
Next you will explore the local old-school bazaar and Krupowki Street – filled with restaurants, local stores and regional goods, as well as gift shops. After lunch we will head back to Krakow, passing the famous ski jump and entering a quaint wooden church on the outskirts of Zakopane.

Posted on Jenny Mwangura First Class Tour, if we come again we’d use this company for all of our trips. After two disastrous and stressful days of organizing our own trips in Krakow on the third day we booked with this company. Everything about the trip was outstanding. David and Yvonnia our driver and tour guide were friendly, knowledgeable, professional and organised every aspect of our trip. We did the 4 in 1 trip to Zacopane, snow mobiles, smoked cheese tasteing and the thermal spa. It was great to have the minibus to leave our belongings in between activities. If you are going to Poland book your excursions with these guys you won’t be disappointed we had the best day out ever ! Thank you so much.Posted on Lewis , Jonny , Sarah Ballykeel Youth FC Our trip to Auschwitz was planned so well! Our driver was called Janek, he was so friendly and very informative about different landmarks etc on the journey! Our tour guide was brilliant!Posted on Di RR Extremely knowledgeable on local history and local areas and beyond. Used before this time for airport transfers. ( very prompt) and a trip to Auschwitz, where they arranged tickets and transport and some extra info along the way. Janek our driver was an absolute star. Nothing was too much trouble. I would thoroughly recommend, and I’ll use again on future tripsPosted on Daria Krakowfy is excellent. They organize everything and on top of it, they have really nice staff. All goes smoothly, on time and very friendly. Especially our driver Janek needs to be pointed out. He was not only driving us all (6 persons) being tired and hungry and freezing very safely from Krakow to Auschwitz and back, he also gave us extraordinary restaurant tipps and a extra explanations about monasteries and specialities on our way. He also knew quite a lot about the site of Auschwitz and the surrounding area connected to that KZ. We would like to thank him one more time for that interesting hour with him. The guide in Auschwitz was also well chosen. Halina answered all asked and unasked questions regarding that incomprehensible site. Thank You all very much!Posted on Luke Mcdonnell This is out 2nd time useing this company and was another amazing trip all there drivings all very polite and helpful would highly recommend.Posted on Andrea Parker ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Zakopane day trip with Krawowfy We had a fantastic day trip from Kraków to Zakopane with Krawowfy. Everything was well organised and completely stress-free. Communication with Kamil from the very start was exceptional. Our driver Johnny was outstanding — friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. He made the journey enjoyable, kept everything running smoothly, and his local insights really added to the experience. Zakopane was absolutely beautiful, with plenty of time to explore, and the thermal baths were a real highlight. Our whole group loved the day and it was one of the best parts of our trip. I would highly recommend Krawowfy, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Johnny as your driver!Posted on Mandy Bowie Amazing service from Krakowfy.

I have to say how outstanding the communication with Kamil was (who booked & organised everything) before the trip, & how amazing our driver Bartosz (Bart) was. Personal service all the way. No queuing for tickets, or hanging around waiting anywhere. Thank you so much for sorting everything at such short notice Kamil & for reassuring me, & thank you to Bart for just being amazing on the day.
