100% recommend! Great mix of hearing history and spectacular vistas.
G4191SQelizabethm, Nov 2024
Monika (Tour Guide) did a fantastic job in running the tour. We used public transport, which helped me gain confidence in using it on my own later on my vacation. It was a perfect mix of hearing the rich history of the area and walking/hiking on a walking path. The views are spectacular. Also visited a famous Polish artist(Wladyslaw Hasior) museum with unique artwork speaking to his view of religion, society and government. Visited a cemetary where local distinguished Zakopane citizens are buried, recognizing Polish celebration of 11/1 All Saints Day. Last had lunch at a local restaurant with delicious local cuisine. Would 100% recommend this tour!
