A guided hike through the streets of Zakopane - the Highlander capital of Poland. Immerse yourself in the fascinating history, enchanting architecture and breathtaking panoramas. Your guide knows the region’s history like the back of his hand, and will show you nooks and crannies most tourists overlook.

We randomly came across Stanislav and decided to have a cave tour with him. We did not have any caving experience before but he really made the adventure safe but exciting! Definitely a professional! My girlfriend was also very happy about the photos he took for us!

Stan is the best mountain guide of Tatra because knows perfectly these mountains and also is a ski instructor and a member of the Voluntary Tatra Mountains Rescue Team. He recommended us the route of the lakes and it was the best choice. The views were beautiful. If we go back to Tatra Mountains we will repeat with his guiding service ¡Thanks for all and see you soon!! Albert and Barbara
