Ski touring for beginners in the Polish Tatras

Our plan was for snowshoeing, but unusually warm weather meant snow cover was too light. Helena came up with a hiking route as an alternative, supplied all of the equipment and was the perfect guide. We were lucky to find such a well-suited guide as her, so thank you too, Explore-Share.

Had a great time hiking with Helena. She is always laughing and smiling. She has in-depth knowledge about the Tatras having grown up in the area. Can highly recommend her for guiding.

Helena is an amazing guide who is a consummate professional, very knowledgeable, pays attention to every detail and most importantly has a very positive which allows every client to reach inside a little bit more for a very enriching experience. Her passion about mountains is evident. I would highly recommend going on an adventure with Helena!

Explore-share should be clearer about what is and what is not included in the trip fee.

We really liked snowshoeing. Guide was wonderful, snowshoeing wasn’t easy but view was amazing. I really recommend that’s experience!

Really great experience doing a snowshoe hike in the Tatra mountains - I was fortunate enough to have sunny weather after a few days of light snow so conditions were amazing. I just did it on my own and Helena was super accommodating and made small changes to the route on the fly to make things more interesting. To be clear if you book this experience you are booking a professional mountain guide so the route they take you on can easily be adjusted to your group requirements and where to go for best conditions . Helena was extremely knowledgeable of the area - both in terms of her knowledge of the local trail networks and in chatting to me about the history, culture and geography of the Tatra mountains as we progressed along the hike. The route we went on was about 400m elevation (which I was comfortable doing) and the view from the summit was incredible. Would definitely recommend the experience if you want a great way to explore and view the Tatra mountains

Helena was a super personal guide for the tour. She aligned the trip to our wish (e.g. starting time, finishing nearby the thermal pool) and made a wonderful day for us. Guiding just the two of us made the whole trip very personal and flexilbe which we recommend for others as well. Thank you.

Absolutely amazing experiance with very friendly and knowledgeable guide.

thanks my trip was great - Helena is a great guide and we had a lot of fun together, she told me a lot about the culture and nature of Zakopane :) thanks for organizing everything for me. Best, Lisa

Helena was an awesome guide, making every effort to make sure it was a good experience! She rented all the equipment and even picked me up from my hostel! She has a lot of experience with mountain sports, as well as great knowledge of the area. While we were driving to the Tatras, she gave a short driving tour of Zakopane, explaining some of the architecture and history. We snowshoed for about 4 hours on a BEAUTIFUL day. She really enriched the experience with her knowledge of the ecology!

Helena was previously booked so I was guided by Beata. Beata was highly accommodating, passionate about her mountains, architecture and people, and went above and beyond what I had paid for! She was particularly careful to keep me safe at all times as the mountain top was icy and slippery - but there was no problem. Beata was so kind in showing me around Zakopane as well and introducing me to friends and family - even asked me join her friends on a day trip out of Zakopane to see some other beautiful areas around the area. Beata was at all times curious as to what it was I loved to do and see. Truly an amazing and unforgettable experience! Beata was wonderful! Thank you for the experience, challenges and memories.
