Wildlife & Nature Experience in Krakow

We had a marvellous experience with Bartek. He helped us design an itinerary that involved many different experiences (which we wanted) and then was great at sharing local knowledge & stopping off in slightly off the beaten track places (which we loved). Definitely recommend him. Sharyn

This part of Poland, south of Krakow into Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains, is beautiful all on its own. But when you have Bartek, a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, showing you all his favorite places, it’s magical. Highly recommend this tour.

Our trip to Zakopane with Bartek was terrific. Highlight was the hike through the Tatra National Park. The cheese tasting was lovely and the ride up the cable car was a great way to see the mountains. We also stopped in a traditional little village to have a look around. Bartek was knowledgable and very accomodating, he even helped book our restaurant for dinner for when we returned to Krakow. Would definitely recommend visiting Zakopane with Bartek as your guide!

I highly recommend taking a tour or a trip with Bartek. He was warm, punctual, and very knowledgable. He picked my partner and I up from our hotel and drove us to a hiking trail in the Tatras mountains. The ride was very pleasant and we immediately felt at home and comfortable with Bartek. Once we embarked upon our hiking trip, we felt as if we were hanging out with an old friend who was sharing with us information about the area as well as casual conversation and laughter. After reaching the top of the hike and stopping for lunch (Bartek kindly translated the menu for us and spoke with the staff in Polish), we headed back down to the car. Bartek then took us to a funicular gondola with sweeping views of the mountain range; he gave us time to ourselves to ride up, shop around, and ride down. He very generously offered us as much time as we would like and encouraged us not to rush. He also helped us secure dinner reservations by calling several recommended places on our behalf. We were truly sad to say goodbye to Bartek when he dropped us back off at our hotel because we had such a pleasant and comfortable experience. I HIGHLY recommend taking a trip with Bartek and enjoying his peaceful energy, wealth of knowledge, and generosity. 5 stars!!
