Zakopane

I booked this trip with trip advisor prior to arriving in Poland. Mirek was our tour guide and was brilliant from start to finish. He sent regular whats app messages regarding pick up location, food choices and general information prior to the trip. On the trip Mirek was friendly, informative and funny. He made the trip for my son and I. We would highly recommend.
