Krakow Tours in August 2026

Great hotels (cleanliness, location), a mix of adventure, culture, and unique experiences in a fun, small group setting. A good balance of structure and free time to get a great taste of the areas visited.

The itinerary was well planned . The tour director Villi went out of his way to make sure all in the group are well taken cared of and happy-No one was left alone. . Was very flexible. We were always priority on going to special spots . No waiting on line . We will surely do another Insight Vacation trip . Thank you .

We very much enjoyed the small group tour. Tomas, our tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable of every stop within the itinerary. We will definitely book with Collette again. It is impossible to to elaborate on our "favorite memorable experience" as each day was filled with such experiences. Always on my "bucket list" was to visit Auschwitz and Birkenau. How anyone can say that the Holocaust didn't happen, must visit the museum.

This is a whistle stop tour through Eastern Europe concentrating on the history, culture and architecture of the capitals. A great introduction which will leave you wanting to come back for more.

Our very informed guides described and showed us the architectural and political contributions of the Hapsburgs and life in Eastern Europe during and after WW2. The damage to glorious architecture of the prewar period has been miraculously restored in the cities and towns we visited. Our guides movingly described the painful years during WW2, and life under communism. Our visits to a former Gestapo headquarters in Budapest and to Auschwicz and Burkinau were sobering. Our evening boat ride on the Danube to see the lavishly lit Budapest from the water was exhilarating. It was a most educational, thought-provoking trip.

Great overview of Poland - it was an amazing country that may not get cited beyond Krakow and Warsaw. People were friendly and welcoming. Most hotels were centrally located with proximity to the old towns or town centers, allowing you to enjoy exploring on your own. Plenty of restaurant choices with choices of Polish favorites or international options. We enjoyed all of the optional excursions and meals, and they do allow you to decide whether to enjoy them or explore sites/museums on your own. Tour director and driver were great.
