Extremely disappointing
This tour should be titled: points of interest for Catholics. Perhaps my expectations were misguided, since they were based on the tour description - but the tour ended up being a sight-seeing tour of every Catholic point of interest that the guide thought everyone else needs to know about. You should know that the guide chooses your lunch venue, the guide goes shopping with you, every single moment of your time in Zakopane is chaperoned. The only free time was the tour of the castle, which was amazing. If you're looking for a tour of Catholic religious sites from Krakow to Zakopane - then perhaps this tour is for you, especially if you need someone to hold your hand and supervise you while souvenir shopping and eating lunch.

Excellent private tour
Private tour is the way to go! It is so much better to see these sites at your own pace. Tomasz was a great guide and took custom requests on places to see - great way to explore a new country if you’re curious about other sites off the beaten path.

Excellent tours! We did the Zakopane tour one day and did the private Auschwitz tour and Salt Mine tour another day. Our family group had a 13 year old up to a 72 year old and everybody loved them. Christopher is immensely knowledgeable, funny and entertaining. He also helped us with hotel and restaurant reservations. His recommendations were terrific. I would recommend these tours to anyone, worth every penny!

Beautiful scenery and relaxing thermal baths
Christopher was a fabulous guide for my tour to Slovakia and Zakopane. We stopped at a restaurant with delicious food for lunch. Along the way, he shared interesting historical facts and ensured we had the best views of the castle, beautiful mountain scenery and historic buildings for pictures. He’s a wealth of knowledge and the sights were amazing. I also thoroughly enjoyed my relaxation time at the thermal baths. There’s a section for family and children and another adults only section in the sauna that’s quiet and European style. It was a peaceful and serene experience with scenic mountains in the background.

Christopher is a great guide
Thank you Christopher for our tour to Slovakia and Zakopane. We like to think that to understand a country you have to do more than just see with your eyes. This tour is more than just mountains or a castle, and we truly enjoyed learning from you.

SLOVAKIA PRIVATE TOUR with ZAKOPANE: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.
How much does SLOVAKIA PRIVATE TOUR with ZAKOPANE cost?
+
Prices start at $389 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 SLOVAKIA PRIVATE TOUR with ZAKOPANE 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 SLOVAKIA PRIVATE TOUR with ZAKOPANE worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6 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 SLOVAKIA PRIVATE TOUR with ZAKOPANE?
+
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 SLOVAKIA PRIVATE TOUR with ZAKOPANE 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 SLOVAKIA PRIVATE TOUR with ZAKOPANE?
+
Around 2 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 SLOVAKIA PRIVATE TOUR with ZAKOPANE 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 SLOVAKIA PRIVATE TOUR with ZAKOPANE?

Not included: Orava Castle entrance fee (approx. 10 EUR per pers) If wanted; Meals; Other places may be visited additionally or instead on Your request (Dunajec Rafting, Ther; and Please tell us about your special requirements.
