Hi Laura,

Thanks for your e-mail. 

We had a very enjoyable tour. The group was relatively small (18 people) and we all got on very well.

The hotels were good to very good, centrally located and offering excellent breakfasts. The only exception was Mercure Torun Central. The bathroom didn’t have a shower curtain and there was no hot water during our overnight stay so we ended up having cold showers in a very wet, slippery and messy bathroom.

The sights were very interesting and exceeded our expectations.

The tour guide (Renata), though fairly knowledgeable, was not the friendliest and didn’t really engage with the group. She seemed to do the minimum required of her and at times was rather unpleasant with some of the group members. The other local guides we had were very good.

The driver (Wukash? I think!) was excellent.

As for photos, unfortunately it’s my husband who takes them with his fancy camera. I’ll try to forward some whenever he gets around to downloading them on the PC.
We will definitely use your company in the future if it covers destinations we’re interested in.
Best regards 

Malak

Hi Inga

We have just returned from our trip to Poland and here is the feedback.

The trip was excellent in very detail. We have no complaints at all. The itinerary was full and extensive. We managed to pack in a great deal. All the visits in the different locations were very well managed. The local guides in all places were very well informed, courteous and clear. Their English was perfect.

The hotels we stayed in were top class - all 4 star- and offered excellent facilities. The breakfasts were enormous. There were quite a few groups in the hotels and we followed some of them around for the whole of the trip.

We did not see, however, any other English groups - they were mainly French, Spanish and Italian.

Our group was small - only eight persons - 5 Americans, one Irish and ourselves. We had a small but brand newl coach and an excellent driver. We had sufficient stops for coffee and toilet breaks.

We must particularly mention our tour leader - Martha - who attended to every detail, no matter how small. Her English was excellent. Her manner was friendly but authoritative.

My wife enjoyed it particularly. She was able to practise Polish for the first time in 50 years. She was quite fluent by the end of the trip. We found the Poles very welcoming. The roads were excellent ( better than the UK) and the standard of living has increased greatly since my last visit about 15 years ago.

It would perhaps have been better if the trip cold have been extended to say 10 days. This would have given us more time in certain places - in particular Gdansk and Cracow. Still we may return for a mini break to Gdansk - long weekend perhaps with some of our children and relatives.

We heartily thank you for a wonderful holiday - packed with activities but very worth while.

Cheers

Hi Saija,

We had a wonderful trip to Poland. It was a little hectic, but we managed
to see everything and met some very nice traveling companions who were
with us on our tour.

Thanks for all your help, it was much appreciated.

We enjoyed the tour of Poland and the extra day in Krakow. The St Oliwa organ recital is hugely amusing, because of the moving organ parts. Jasna Gora monastery was intriguing and Auschwitz harrowing. The annual March of the sausage dogs in Krakow was a lovely surprise and great fun.
The courier Renata was very good, as was the driver. The small bus was uncomfortable with a lack of leg room. Sometimes it was a long wait for a loo break. The motorways were quite tedious to use because of the roadside barriers blocking the view. The hotels were alright though the buffet in Gdansk was dreadful. We ate there as we arrived so late. The Wrocslaw hotel restaurant was good, others a bit mixed.
Overall a good experience and a good introduction to Poland.

Car Rental

You can rent a car, as long as you have a valid EU or international driver's license. Most cars will have manual transmission.

Transportation

Railway mostly serves domestic routes and is used as an easy and quick way to get from the capital to major cities of the country. There are some international routes, like to Moscow and St. Petersburg, but time spent on the way will be quite long.

Buses are one of the most convenient ways to travel between the Baltic States. Eurolines will get you between Riga, Vilnius and Tallinn. One way tickets will cost £ 15 - £ 20 and approximate travel time is 5 hours between the cities. Ticket reservations in advance are recommended.

Taxis are the quickest and most convenient way of travelling round the city. You'll find them located close to the main hotels. Usually it's quite easy to catch a taxi on the street, however, it's much better and safer to order one by phone. Taxi costs in all of the Baltic countries and Poland are approximately the same and a ride in the centre of the city will cost you approx £ 5 - £ 7.  Taxis in Finland and Russia are considerably more expensive.  It is always a good idea to get your hotel to book a taxi for you and ask approximately how much the trip will cost before you get in.

We would not recommend you to take public transportation within the city, as it's usually crowded and it may cause you unnecessary anxiety about where to stop.
