What to expect
Your day begins with a pickup from your hotel or accommodation by your personal driver for the day, followed by a scenic drive to Zakopane, where you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of Traditional Polish oscypek cheese with a cranberry jam, along with traditional nalewki — handcrafted Polish fruit and herbal wodka.
Next, explore the vibrant heart of Zakopane: Krupówki Street. You'll have free time to browse local crafts, taste regional snacks, or simply enjoy the mountain air and festive summer energy of this charming town.
And the true jem of the day is a visit to Morskie Oko, a crystal-clear glacial lake surrounded by the Tatra peaks. From the entrance to Tatra National Park, you can choose how to get to the lake:
1) Walk the scenic 8 km paved trail (about 2 hours one way)
2) Or take a horse-drawn carriage (available for an additional fee), a relaxing and traditional way to travel through the forested valley
At the top, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Morskie Oko, perfect for photos and a mountain lunch at the lakeside shelter.
This tour offers maximum comfort and flexibility, with a private English-speaking driver and a summer itinerary designed for nature lovers and cultural explorers alike.
