Warsaw – Krakow – study tour

  We cannot rave enough on how wonderful the 'Pearls of Poland' tour organized by Exciting Poland, was! Traveling through the beautiful Polish countrysides and villages to see so many... read more gems of Polish history was fantastic! The driver that Exciting Poland provided was not only safe and knowledgeable about the roads and highways but also offered wonderful commentary on contemporary life in Poland or on any little historic tidbits which we all found interesting. He was a fine companion along the way who found interesting restaurants and was very clear about every direction and meeting time/place. He was wonderful! The city tours were led by good guides too. In particular Ewa in Warsaw was fantastic, and our driver (Grzegorz) gave wonderful tours in Zakopane and Krakow, his hometown. Yola in Gdansk and Pawel in Poznan were also interesting and accommodating guides.

After months of research, we settled on Exciting Poland and its Pearls of Poland tour. Throughout the booking process and afterwards, Mr. Bartecki from the tour office, answered every question or concern I had by email within a day. From what I could see and compare, the tour price was fair and reasonable, especially for the excellent accommodations, fine restaurants, city tours, admission tickets to museums, etc. In the end we felt that it was a fantastic bargain!!! We have already discussed "when we go back" and "next time..." and will no doubt arrange our travels with Exciting Poland.

We are very, very satisfied customers and applaud Exciting Poland for its total arrangements for our September 2015 Pearls of Poland tour.

  Best. Vacation. Ever. My 76 year old dad and I just returned from this beautiful country. I can say, hands down, the trip far exceeded our expectations. ... read more Grzegorz, Witek and Robert planned everything perfectly. We saw so much yet didn't feel rushed. Was a good balance between tours and free time. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in Poland. The history there is incredible and we are already talking of another trip with the rest of our family in 2020. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime. It was so special for me and my father! I'm now enjoying putting a scrapbook together of all the fabulous places we visited!!

  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.

  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.
