1.Zakopane: Cable Car, Chocholow Baths, Cheese & Vodka

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10,720 reviews · 11 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $54Our pick

Leave Krakow early for Chochołów, Highlander cheese and regional alcohol, Gubałówka funicular views, and free time on Zakopane’s Krupówki Street. Your English-speaking guide, often including Bart, Mirek, Simon, Niko, or Haroune, keeps the day moving before three hours at Chochołowskie Thermal Baths. Bring swimwear, a towel, and flip-flops.

“It’s a long day but a great trip. We had Bart and he was spot on. Was conscientious and stuck to strict timelines which I liked. The thermal baths was lovely and everything was explained well. Great trip but it was the organisation and running of it from Bart that made it a success.”
