Testimonials and opinions

  Let me first thank you and the ExcitingPoland organization for all the planning and attention to detail to make our second visit under your coordination and care “perfect!”  Everyone... read more from your organization that we encountered was extremely friendly and professional and all our excursions went off without issue.

I must share a special note about Mateusz – what a very intelligent, passionate and fine young man.  His time with us went beyond a guide and became a true friendship.  His time and care with my parents became one of their highlights.

Now that we have discovered our family in Poland, your country will continue to be a periodic destination for us and we will continue to tap the resources of ExcitingPoland again and again.

Best Regards,

  We were delighted that Grzegorz Bartecki was able to put together an exceptional two day tour to find and visit my husband's grandfathers birthplace in Lutotow. The two day tour... read more included informative visits to Lodz and Krakow as well as finding and exploring our native homeland.  It was so much better than we ever expected and something we could NEVER have done on our own.  Our excellent driver and guide helped us find the old synagogue that still remained in the town, and we talked to local residents who pointed out original houses on the intact market square.  I think everyone who has family from Poland, especially those of us with Jewish heritage would benefit from Grzegor's care.

  This was the best tour we’ve taken, our first with ExcitingPoland. We chose Pearls because it was highly reviewed on TripAdvisor and it didn’t disappoint. It was well planned and... read more organized. Witek our guide/ driver was knowledgeable, prompt, friendly and had a sense of humor. The local, licensed guides were,too. Of the 16 provinces in Poland we saw 8. Tours, sights and activities were varied - walking, rafting, organ concert, cable car ride to mention a few. The hotels were all well located and the breakfast buffets were great! Dinners were also excellent. Communication with Grzegorz, the tour manager was excellent pre- tour and we received the most detailed itinerary before the tour. The bonus was there were only 7 of us on the tour and we all had a great experience and have fond memories of Poland.
