    Avoid – underhand, unethical and extremely poor service

    We had a very negative experience booking a tour with Tours of Cracow - Doin Spolka Z O.O. (Floriańska 24, Kraków). Our booking was handled by Ewelina, and the entire experience with that company was disorganised, stressful, and extremely unprofessional. After we had already paid for the tour, the date of the trip was changed. We accepted the new date in good faith on the clear understanding that all other arrangements would remain the same. However, only around 11 hours before the trip, we were informed that the pickup time, pickup location, and drop-off location had all been changed. The original booking included pickup directly opposite our accommodation. Instead, we were suddenly told to meet at a location over a 20-minute walk away, which is a significant and unacceptable change from what was originally advertised and agreed. When we raised concerns and requested a refund, it was refused outright. Ewelina told us that her manager would not help us, yet we were never given the opportunity to speak with anyone else, which makes us strongly suspect that she may have been the manager herself. We attempted to call to resolve the situation, but our call was ignored, leaving us forced to deal with the issue through text messages late at night with only hours before we were expected to leave. At one point we were told we would be offered a discount due to the inconvenience, but this was never honoured. After this promise was made, our follow-up message was simply ignored completely. Changing key details after payment, refusing refunds, promising compensation that is never provided, and then stopping communication entirely is underhand, unethical and completely unacceptable customer service. We strongly recommend that others avoid booking with this company. Our experience was extremely frustrating and felt misleading from start to finish.

    Phenomenal day trip, Oskar was great!

    Oskar was amazing. I booked the day trip super last minute. He reached out via text and was very communicative! Pick up was a breeze being right in front of the hotel. Quick drive up to Zakopane with gorgeous views along the way. Throughout the entire trip Oskar stayed in touch with each group and took us on an amazing tour!

    Magical

    The Zakopane mountains were so magical in December. Lots to see & a few things to do. Plenty of places to have food. You do have to pay 5 zloty to use the toilet. The thermal baths were brilliant especially the outdoor one, music pumping & pool bar.when you first go in you receive a wrist band you can pay for towels & drink with this. You pay at the end off your session. Amazing day trip throughly recommend. The only downfall was the communication with our rep, before our trip. They did change our day to the next day and they were late. My advice stick to the day you choose,

    Great tour Great guide Joanna

    Excellent trip a must do if in Poland great driver and guide Joanna very knowledgeable and friendly. Great cheese and vodka tasting. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side and could not see the mountains. The swim up bar was excellent and the tour well organised. Would recommend.

    Zakopane day trip

    We went on Easter Sunday and it was one of the only tour options we were able to find going to zakopane. We were very pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed the experience, we didn’t feel rushed at all and had plenty of time to explore Zakopane town and also the funicular up to the mountain, although a lot of the stalls weren’t open which we were anticipating we still really enjoyed walking around and going to the various restaurants and we strolled over to the upside down house in the town. The mountain cheese was lovely and we ended up having two shots of the polish vodka! Really enjoyed the spa too the swim up bar was enjoyable and overall was a great day out!

    Kraków: Explore Zakopane Tatra Mountain and optional Thermal Bath: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.

    How much does Kraków: Explore Zakopane Tatra Mountain and optional Thermal Bath cost?

    +

    Prices start at $105 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Krakow usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Kraków: Explore Zakopane Tatra Mountain and optional Thermal Bath take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Krakow is not rushed.

    Is Kraków: Explore Zakopane Tatra Mountain and optional Thermal Bath worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Krakow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kraków: Explore Zakopane Tatra Mountain and optional Thermal Bath?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Kraków: Explore Zakopane Tatra Mountain and optional Thermal Bath suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kraków: Explore Zakopane Tatra Mountain and optional Thermal Bath?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Krakow can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Krakow and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kraków: Explore Zakopane Tatra Mountain and optional Thermal Bath start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Krakow within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Krakow?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Krakow experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Complete Cracow Bike Tour (small group of maximum 15 people!), Krakow–Zakopane: Cable Car, Chocholow Baths, Cheese & Vodka, Krakow to Auschwitz Birkenau Guided Tour with Transfer and Ticket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Krakow?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Krakow?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Kraków: Explore Zakopane Tatra Mountain and optional Thermal Bath?

    +

    Included: Thermal bath ticket ( 2,5 h ) - Applies to thermal pools option; All Fees and Taxes; and Ticket for cable car in Gubałówka Hill. Not included: Breakfast; Private transportation; and Towel. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
