“We had an unforgettable day in Zakopane thanks to our amazing guide, Mirek. From the start, he was warm, funny, and full of energy. His passion for the region really came through in the way he shared stories, local traditions, and hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Mirek struck the perfect balance between informative and entertaining — we learned so much while laughing constantly! He made everyone feel welcome and taken care of, going out of his way to ensure we had a great time. From stunning views to delicious local treats, every stop was thoughtfully chosen. Mirek made Zakopane feel special, and we’re so grateful…”
