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 â all of which make Zakopane the most popular destination if youâre looking for a place to relax and escape from buzz of the city.
On the route to Zakopane weâll stop in ChochoĹĂłw â 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 shepherdâs hut) where you will have a chance to try famous regional cheese â 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 â 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 Andrea Parker âââââ Excellent Zakopane day trip with Krawowfy We had a fantastic day trip from KrakĂłw 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 â 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 youâre 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. I would highly recommend đPosted on Izzie Dayas Janek our driver was amazing, very informative on what was happening during the day.

Thank you so much have a great new year!Posted on Paula McKeag We are two very happy customers after taking the Zakopane tour with snowmobiles. Everything was perfectly organisedâfrom the funicular ride up GubaĹĂłwka Mountain and the breathtaking views to the cheese tasting and visit to the wooden village of ChochoĹĂłw. The snowmobiles in Tatra mountains were an absolute thrill and the highlight of our trip. Thank you so much, Janek, for making this experience truly unforgettable from beginning to end!Posted on Despina Argyridou Incredible experience! Our driver, Janek, was very kind, friendly and talkative with us, we had nice conversations with him about many different topics!! Later, our tour guide, Joanna, was also very explanatory and kind with us, she gave us a lot of information about the whole history of Auschwitz- Birkenau. It was a sad but unique experience!Posted on Wil Woodrow I was a little worried about booking a trip with a company I didnât know in another country. However, the service I received from Krakowfy was excellent. Our driver, Bart, was punctual, polite, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Overall, it was a first-class service, and I would have no hesitation using this company again.Posted on janet Royle Our private tour to Auschwitz was wonderful with Krakowfy. Our driver Kamil messaged the day before confirming our details. He was outside the hotel at 6am as booked, the car was comfortable and bottles of water provided. Kamil was very pleasant and very knowledgeable about Poland. The journey was very smooth and when we arrived we did not have to queue to enter but were taken straight through with our guide. Kamil was waiting for us after Auschwitz to take us to Birkenau and again waiting on us for our return journey. I would highly recommend booking with Krakowfy for a pleasant and stress free tour.Posted on Caroline Whelan Fantastic company we had a great day out picked up on time our driver was very knowledgeable we really enjoyed our tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau
