1. Elblag Canal Tour from Gdansk
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 4 reviews
The Elblag Canal, also called the Elblag-Ostroda Canal, is a 150-years-old canal in Poland that runs from Elblag to Ostroda. At over 80 km in length, it is the longest navigable canal still in use in Poland. It is also one of the most interesting canals in Europe. Elblag Canal’s uniqueness arises from its peculiar choice of engineering to tackle a particularly difficult section of the route where the water level rises by 100 meters. This particular section is located between Druzno Lake and Piniewo Lake, a distance of about 10 km. Because the difference in height was too large, it was impractical to build traditional locks. Instead, an ingenious system of inclined planes was employed where the boats are lifted out of the water and placed into tracks and dragged across dry lands.

Seldom I get to meet someone who is soulfully connected to their community, knows its history, understands its culture, has insights into its present conditions and actively cares for its harmonious and beneficial future. This is the kind of person I experience the operator of this tour to be, and this in itself was an inspiring experience in itself - deserving the 5 star review. As for the castle - it is amazing! The enormity of it, as well as the preservation state is impressive. Even though not built by the Poles, it is a significant element of the complex Polish culture, giving particular insight into the nature of relation with their western neighbours, the Germans. On the first glance, it is a symbol of pride, of defeating a seemingly superior yet oppressive force and a landmark of self-confidence and hope - much needed by the Polish people. But looking even deeper I hope it could become an inspiration for a new era of the Polish-German relationship - where these two nations could combine their complimentary qualities, letting go of the past grievances - taking German focus and Polish spirit to create something beauty of which will stand the test of time even more than the Malbork Castle. As you can see, I did find aunexpected value in the experience and likewise invite those of you reading it not only to enjoy this tour, but to always look beyond the obvious :)

3. Wolf’s Lair Private Day Trip from Warsaw
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Every history enthusiast should visit this place, as Wolf’s Lair is a complex of huge and tremendous bunkers, located in a picturesque land, full of woods and lakes, called Masuria. A secret complex of multi-storey bunkers, completely hidden from the world, was the witness to the most important moments of the Second World War. Despite being blown up during the retreat of Germans in January 1945, the Wolf’s Liar is still very impressive. The colossal concrete bunkers spread on the huge area show the military impetus and power of the Nazi Germany. Hitler wasn’t the only one to quarter here – many of the most important people of the III Reich, like Goering, Bormann, Keitel and Jodl, had their bunkers in Wolf’s Lair. On our way back we will visit one of the three places: Mamerki, where you can see more bunkers, a medieval castle, or a beautiful, baroque church with spectacular interior. The choice is up to you!
Inclusions: Lunch, Air-conditioned vehicle, Private transportation

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.

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.

First met up on airport, ordering online, altough our flight was delayed, we have someone meeting us upon arrival, then quality of car, and most of all, real genuine nice driver, so i am thinking maybe ask for pickup from hotel a few days later, though beeing from Sweden, that wouldn't happen, but off course there he was. I've tried airport transfers 3-4 times a year all around europe last ten years. Many good, some ok, but this has to rate one of the best in europe! Really reccomend,

We had a private tour to austwitz With Poland travel. We were picked up from our hotel in jelenia gora in a private, comfortable, modern van and were driven four hours to austwitz by our polite and friendly driver Michel. Our driver spoke very good English and we had a couple of stops for breaks on the way there and Back. Going to austwitz is very worth it. Visiting the birkenau camp I was surprised to find It’s such a beautiful and peaceful location where such evil and atrocities happened, makes me aware that all those poor beautiful souls are at rest now, thank god. I fully recommend this company. From the secretary Natalia who is very professional and clear in her emails, to the very good driver and transport.
