Visit to a traditional bacówka – tasting of Oscypek and local vodka

A visit to a traditional highlander hut (bacówka) offers an authentic taste of the culture of the Tatra Mountains region. Here, you will see how local Oscypek is still produced using traditional methods passed down for generations.


During the visit, you will enjoy a tasting of freshly prepared oscypek, paired with a shot of local highlander vodka. This simple but iconic combination reflects the hospitality and culinary traditions of the Polish mountains, offering a true insight into regional life beyond the tourist trails.

Stop in Chochołów

Chochołów offers a unique glimpse into one of the best-preserved examples of traditional highlander wooden architecture in the region of the Tatra Mountains.


The village is famous for its uniform wooden houses, many of which are still inhabited and carefully maintained by local residents. Walking through Chochołów feels like stepping back in time, as the entire settlement reflects the authentic construction style, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage of the Polish Highlands.

Lunch Break at Krupówki

Free time for lunch on Krupówki offers a chance to experience the vibrant heart of Zakopane. This lively pedestrian street is lined with traditional restaurants, cafés, and regional stalls, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy authentic Highlander cuisine.


During your break, you can explore local flavors, soak in the atmosphere of the most famous promenade in the Polish mountains, and enjoy time at your own pace in one of the country’s most iconic tourist destinations.

Pęksowy Brzyzek National Cemetery

A visit to Pęksowy Brzyzek National Cemetery offers a unique insight into the cultural and historical heritage of Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains region.


This historic cemetery is the final resting place of many prominent artists, writers, climbers, and local figures who shaped the identity of the Polish Highlands. Set in a scenic and atmospheric location, it combines artistic wooden gravestones with a deep sense of regional tradition and history.

Thermal Relaxation

At this stage of the tour, you will head to the Chochołowskie Termy, the largest thermal complex in the region. This is the perfect place to unwind after a day in the Tatra Mountains, soaking in warm, mineral-rich waters while enjoying views of the surrounding highland landscape.


Chochołowskie Termy offers a wide range of indoor and outdoor pools, thermal baths, and relaxation zones, making it an ideal stop for rest and recovery in a truly scenic setting.


It’s a chance to slow down, relax, and experience the calmer side of the Polish Highlands in comfort.

About Tour Guide Michael M.

Professional Licensed Guide | Historian | Krakow Insider


Hi! I’m Michael, a licensed Krakow guide and a dedicated historian. My mission is simple: to show you the "real" Krakow by connecting its grand, royal heritage with the raw, untold stories of its streets. Whether you are visiting for the first time or looking for deep-dive historical expeditions, I provide a professional, high-quality experience tailored entirely to your pace.


Why explore Krakow with me?


Expert Knowledge: As a historian, I don't just give you dates; I give you the "why" and "how" behind the events that shaped Europe.


Beyond the Surface: I specialize in unique niches—from Cold War nuclear bunkers and medieval alchemy to the profound historical ties between Poland and Hungary.


Stress-Free Experience: I handle the logistics. I’ll help you navigate local transport, suggest the best authentic eateries, and ensure we avoid the tourist traps.


Licensed & Verified: You are in safe, professional hands. I guarantee punctuality, deep research, and a friendly, engaging atmosphere.


Krakow is a city of layers. Let’s peel them back together—from the golden altars of Baroque churches to the hidden fortresses of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
