A full on trip through Poland, historical and cultural highlights of three cities plus great local cuisine. Hotels of a good standard and well located for independent sight seeing, public transport is very easy.
Highlights were the salt mine, Schindler’s Factory museum and the Palace of Culture in Warsaw.
Justyna is a great tour leader, enthusiastic, fun and knowledgeable.
It was comprehensive, enjoyable, educational, exciting, thought-provoking, well managed, comfortable - in other words, everything one could want in a tour.
Highlights of Bohemia has been my dream trip since 2019 (as my initial booking was cancelled more than once during 2020-2021 due to the pandemic and related social issues) and I'm so happy I was finally able to experience it. The trip was thoughtfully and wonderfully planned out. The coach travel was well-timed (with plenty of stops and even a couple of movies during the longer stretches). Having two nights for each hotel stay allowed the right balance of rest and travel. The itinerary was well-balanced between structured/ guided and free/ personal time and neither ever felt like too much or too little of either. The Tour Director was amazing in every way; extremely good at balancing and accomadating group and individual needs and, along with the Local Specialists provided global and local historical and social perspectives, as well as helpful suggestions for the best use of our free time. The drivers were safe and very helpful, and the coach was always clean and comfortable. Hotels were mostly centrally located, also allowing a better personal experience for those like me who enjoy wandering and enjoying local venues and persons.
