Long description

Escape the city and head towards the stunning Tatra Mountains with a private Krakow to Zakopane transfer. Whether you are planning a day trip to the mountains or simply need comfortable transport between Krakow and Zakopane, this service ensures a smooth and relaxing journey.

Instead of adjusting to bus schedules or crowded trains, travel in a modern vehicle with a professional driver and enjoy the scenic route south of Krakow. The mountains gradually appear on the horizon as you leave the city behind and head towards Zakopane.

This option is perfect for travellers who value flexibility. Explore Zakopane at your own rhythm – stroll along Krupówki Street, take in panoramic views from Gubałówka, visit thermal baths or simply admire the mountain landscape before returning to Krakow.

The service focuses on comfort, privacy and freedom of movement, allowing you to design your own mountain experience without the structure of a guided tour.

Good value for a large group. The minibus was clean and comfortable, the driver professional, and everything ran on time.

Everything was on time and the driver was professional. However, the town of Zakopane itself was a bit disappointing – we expected a more peaceful, countryside atmosphere.

I had to go straight from the airport to a meeting in Zakopane and needed a reliable and quick transfer. This service met my expectations.
