We were a group of four. The tour was for approx. 7 hours in the car. They sent us a large enough car so it was very comforting. Our driver gave us pit stops on the way when we requested and our guid in Krakow gave us some stop at the cafe and souvenir shops for us so we had some free time and learned interesting historical facts about Krakow. Very interesting and comforting experience in total. Breakfast and dinner is not included so I recommend that we bring some snacks on the tour.

Fascinating trip back in time to WW2, the appalling treatment of the Jewish people by the Nazis and the takeover of Poland by Communist Russia. Quite sad but heartening to hear about their brave attempts to fight off the aggressors. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable . Great lunch break with excellent food.

On this tour you will discover 2 aspects of Warsaw, so that your experience is not limited to the postcard-like streets and squares of the Old Town, but will go beyond it. The guide will be waiting for you next to the Sigismund Column (Kolumna Zygmunta) at the Castle square and your tour will start in the Old Town. The guide will tell you stories and anecdotes about Warsaw, founded at the beginning of the 14th century, focusing on the historic buildings of the Old Town. After the first part you will take a tram to cross the river and you will discover a different Warsaw on the right bank of Vistula - a bit it neglected, a bit artistic. You will see that this part of the city has a completely different spirit. The guide will show you hidden treasures in the backyards, some street art and popular bars. In one of them you will try Praga’s specialty - “pyzy”. The final point of the tour will be the former vodka factory “Koneser” where you can visit a unique vodka museum after the tour.

Lodz is not an obvious city. An industrial past and perhaps still finding its future. But yet it is probably one of the most thought provoking cities I've ever been to. My guide was superb, Incredibly knowledgeable and easy company and also really brought the history to life. The story of Lodz is a haphazard series of events that it would be easy to loose the thread of but things were so well explained and organised,, that this never happened. Piotrkowska has a unique grandess and quaintness at once. Lodz may be a rough diamond but it is real hidden gem that was brought to life. Great tour and brilliantly delivered. With thanks for a great experience.
