Review of Krakow’s Chocholow Thermal Baths tour, with pool access, hotel transfer, optional Zakopane stop, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“the service was excellent and the experience was truly beautiful. the staff is prepared and friendly, the shuttle service is punctual, the organization is efficient. quality/price ratio is very convenient. the spas are very beautiful and fun, you get lost in the games, the slides, the warmer tubs, the hydromassages and much more. during the three hours I reserved some time for dinner at the restaurant and the food was truly delicious. Michal, my driver/companion, is a truly reliable and sociable person, who gave us all the information exhaustively and was impeccable.”
