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 Google Dag Morten Lysell Very good, came on time and was very good guide. I recomend this company👍🏻👍🏻Posted on Google george ferfecki Took the Dunajec river rafting and Zakopane tour. Everything was excellent. Our guide Janek arrived on time, was very knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. He took us to several places with magnificent views and food. A great trip!Posted on Google Raymond Gutierrez We were 2 weeks away from our trip to Krakow and we hadn't booked a tour to the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum. English-speaking tours were running out fast and our family was worried. Within 48 hours of contacting the Krakowfy team, they were able to secure a tour group for us. From the start, Kamil provided exceptional service with updates and answered the many questions we had. He even provided a list of places to visit and eat in the town of Krakow. Janek, our tour driver, was friendly, provided a bit of history along our private transit, and helped organise the tickets and liase with our tour guide at the museum. His prompt organisation allowed us to be among the first to enter the museum for the day and ahead of the other larger groups. Anna, our tour guide, was very informative and patient with our group as we had a member who was in a wheelchair. It is definitely a worthy tour to understand the atrocities that took place. Special thanks to the entire Krakowfy team who made the day one we wouldn't forget!Posted on Google Ruben Antenen A warm, fluent English-speaking host, punctual from the start, who kindly enriched the route with a few spontaneous stops. He is wonderfully eager to share stories and impressions from his travels. The driving rhythm has a character of its own. Ideal for passengers who welcome company along the way.Posted on Google Victoria Swift We visited Auschwitz-Birkenau with Krakowfy and everything was exceptional. Communication beforehand made planning very easy, and on the day we had a very pleasant private transfer with Janek. Everything was well organised during the visit which helped as the museum entry is a bit chaotic. I highly recommend using Krakowfy for this trip as it saves any queueing, super early pickups, potentially cancelled tours etc which others have experienced. Well worth the money. Thank you!Posted on Google Madis Pettai We have had really nice and enjoyable trip with very proffessionsl and super friendly full day tour with our guide Kamil to Zakopane and surrounding area.

Very friendly drivers.Posted on Google 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 Google Jonny, Sarah, Laura-Jayne Ballykeel Youth FC Our trip to Auschwitz was planned so well!
