5Great Experience – Highly Recommended
We had a wonderful experience traveling with this company to Zakopane and the thermal baths near Kraków. Everything was very well organized from start to finish. The bus arrived on time and was clean and comfortable. Our guide, Stefan, met us and explained everything very clearly and professionally. He was friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. The trip was definitely worth the money, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone interested in exploring Zakopane and the surrounding area. Everything was organized, smooth, and well managed. We had a great time!
5Great day out
This tour was great, to see all the different things Poland has to offer. The cheese was nice and the vodka was nice too. It was good to see the wooden houses, which after so many years looked so good, every year they have to protect them from the weather. The funicular was high up with restaurant and some shops. Just a shame it was raining and cloudy so we could not see a lot of the view. The thermal spa was a nice visit for the end of a great day out. Haroune was very informative and a great tour guide.
5Above and Beyond Service, 5 Star Experience
I’ve never experienced such a comprehensive and informative service until we met Olaf from Thousand Miles. He truly knows his stuff and is absolutely on top of his game. From the very beginning, we felt comfortable, welcomed, and genuinely looked after. Olaf’s knowledge, positive energy, and incredible attention to detail really made a difference. You can tell he truly cares about the experience he creates for his guests. We felt truly blessed to have Olaf and his amazing driver, Lucas, with us. They made our experience feel effortless, personal, and unforgettable.

About Krakow
Kraków, Poland's royal former capital, has a beautifully preserved medieval old town, crowned by Wawel Castle above the Vistula River.
The Main Market Square, one of the largest medieval squares in Europe, is lined with burghers' houses and centred on the arcaded Cloth Hall. St Mary's Basilica rises at one corner, its carved wooden altarpiece a Gothic masterpiece, and a trumpet call sounds from its tower through the day and night.
Top-ranked sights in Krakow: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, Rynek Glowny (Main Market Square), Wieliczka Salt Mine (Kopalnia Soli).
