Warsaw Tours and Trips

I thought the itinerary for this trip was good. Warsaw, Wrocław & Kraków are lovely cities. I would suggest that Auschwitz is added to the itinerary as the majority of the group had booked the trip to visit there. Even with the links provided by Explore, and booking far in advance, one member of our group ended up having to leave the hotel at 2:30am to queue for hours to get tickets. I think if Explore organised this, it would make things much easier for everyone. The traditional Jewish dinner with music was an absolute highlight for me, make sure that stays on the itinerary! The Salt mine was incredible & the Gnome hunting was also fun. While our tour leader was a lovely person, this was her first time doing the trip, which meant things were not always what I've come to expect from an Explore tour leader. She seemed a bit disorganised at times, we didn't get a proper introduction and she didn't always communicate to the entire group. At one point we were having a walking tour and I didn't even realise, I had been told it was later and that this was the walk to lunch! I'm sure though with a few tours under her belt this will change. The local tour guide we had in Wrocław was excellent, very funny. No complaints about the accommodation. The place we stayed in Wrocław, which had been changed last minute, was a bit quirky but not unpleasant. A note about the food, the portions are very large, so you might not spend as much money on food as you would expect. I would recommend this trip but just be aware that some of it is very emotional at times, due to the nature of the places you visit. For the free time in Warsaw, I would suggest visiting the Rising museum. I also did the optional excursion to the Ksiaz Castle in Wrocław which was well worth a visit.

I felt it was a good solid pace with a lot of nice variations in location. My only wish was perhaps start at Auschwitz instead of ending on it (a bit depressing) if possible.

This trip was packed with so many great experiences and places! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to see as much Poland as possible. Be ready to walk at a leisurely pace in many truly awe inspiring places where history was made. The tour guide and driver were exceptional at their jobs and we all felt very taken care of the entire time.

The tour of Poland was well organized and included excellent sightseeing and exploring. Our Trafalgar rep - was wonderful, kind, helpful and full of information. Poland is such a a beautiful country! I highly recommend this tour.

This itinerary was amazing. We saw and did so much. Our Tour Guide, was the BEST. There were so many surprise and delights from the best rose petal jam paczki to the shots with gold flecks in them in Gdansk. The food was very good, the cities were just gorgeous. We could never have done and seen so much on our own.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip through Poland. The tour guide and driver were excellent. I see that they have changed the upcoming itinerary to include an extra night in Zakopane which is terrific as I did feel that one night wasn’t enough. This trip was packed with history and culture, a lot of walking, and a lot of information, which could be challenging for some people, but personally I loved it.
