Zakopane mountain tour
Adrian was an excellent guide very pleasant informative and helpul, excellent service

Good experience. Some improvements suggested.
Overall good experience. The driver was also the guide. Our was a small van. It was disappointing that they decided to add thermal baths for additional cost and even though it was an option we had to drive back through around to pick the people up that decided to go to the baths. They were plenty of other tours that offered the baths. Why pick the one that didn’t and then make it harder on the people that wanted the tour without? Over all we had a great time. I loved the mountain and chapel and even enjoyed the ski jumps more than I thought I would. The driver/guide was very helpful and eager to please. I wish he would talk a little more about history or nature or any facts about the places we were visiting.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed feedback! 😊 We’re glad to hear that overall you had a great time and enjoyed the mountains, chapel and ski jumps. Just to clarify one point, guests who chose the thermal baths were not picked up by making a separate detour or driving back for them. The thermal baths are located directly on the route from Zakopane back to Krakow, so we simply picked them up along the way. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding more historical and nature-related information and will take this into consideration. 💚

Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.
How much does Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $22 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 Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 39 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 Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting?
+
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 Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting?
+
Around 14 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting 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 Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting?
+
Included: Cabble car ticket; Local cheese and vodka tasting; Hotel Pick-up and drop-off; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 357 listed pickup locations in and around Krakow. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting offered in?
+
It is offered in Norwegian, German, Swedish, Finnish, Portuguese, Greek, English, Croatian, Italian, French, Spanish, Polish, Danish and Dutch. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting?
+

Is Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Cable Car, Cheese & Vodka Tasting wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
