Private Full-Day Zakopane and Thermal Baths Tour from Krakow

About This Experience

Poland is beautiful runs this as a private tour, so no other travellers share the vehicle with the English-speaking driver and tour leader. Pickup is from your hotel in Krakow, with departures listed at 08:30, and the whole day lasts about 11 hours.

In Zakopane the plan gives you about two hours on Krupówki Street and the regional market, with free time to eat at one of the restaurants serving highland food. The Gubałówka funicular ticket is included; the ride climbs about 300 m in roughly 3.5 minutes to a ridge facing the Tatras, and about an hour is set aside up there.

The longest stop is the thermal baths, where your ticket covers 2.5 hours in the water. The listing does not name the complex, so ask which one your date uses. Chochołowskie Termy is closed from 19 to 30 October 2026 for building work.

On the way you also stop briefly in Chochołów, an old village of wooden houses, and at a hut where you taste smoked sheep's-milk cheese (sold as oscypek). Food and drinks beyond the tasting are paid by you.

The listing marks the tour as wheelchair accessible, including the vehicle, and infant seats are available. The price is about $238 (900 PLN) per person for two to 15 travellers, or 1,000 PLN for a solo traveller. It holds 5.0 from 27 reviews on Viator.
