well organized, fun trip.
- Highlights of Poland (Classic)
The trip was great. All the things we saw were awesome. Poland is a lovely country. The hotels were all 4 or 5 star -- very nice. And the coach was excellent -- with 2 doors for more efficient boarding, and a toliet for emergencies. The guides were great too.

We did the group tour with Seweryn around the Jewish quarter and I can fully recommend him as very informative and funny guide!

Best tour companies for Poland tours
Looking at customer feedback over the past year, Explore and Cosmos stand out as solid choices for guided European tours. Explore's guides like Justyna and Alexandria consistently get mentioned for going above and beyond - they know their history cold and adapt the pace to match each group's interests. Cosmos delivers good value for your money and their guide Kasia keeps getting praised in reviews for making local culture come alive through her stories and personal insights. Our travelers appreciate how she handles the practical details while keeping everyone engaged and comfortable. Euroadventures has more of a mixed track record lately. While some groups had great experiences, others ran into frustrating communication gaps - like last-minute schedule changes or confusion about meeting points. Their group sizes also tend to vary quite a bit which affects how smoothly things run day to day. If you're looking for reliability and well-planned itineraries, I'd lean toward either Explore or Cosmos based on what our customers consistently report. The guides make a huge difference and both companies seem to have a good system for selecting and training them. Their groups stay at a manageable size and the logistics generally run like clockwork.
Best places to start your Poland tour
Most visitors kick off their Polish adventure in Krakow, with Warsaw coming in as the second most common starting point. Berlin, Copenhagen and also Gdansk work well as entry cities too, though they're picked less often. For the best shot at getting your preferred dates, book about 2.5 months out - that's 73 days if you want to be precise. This is particularly true in busy periods when popular itineraries tend to fill up fast. Summer brings warm weather and lively events like St. Dominic's Fair in Gdansk from June through August. Spring and fall are really pleasant too - think April-May or September-October - with fewer tourists around the historical sites. Winter has its own charm with Christmas markets and snow-covered cities, but just keep in mind some attractions might run shorter hours.
Discover Poland tours for every budget
Train travel connects the highlights of Poland nicely on our week-long budget tours. You'll move from Krakow to Warsaw and up to Gdansk, getting the most out of each stop without overspending. The walking tours cover Krakow's Old Town and Wawel Castle, and you can add on trips to places like the Wieliczka Salt Mine if you're interested. We've found our travelers really like having structured morning activities and then free afternoons and evenings to wander, find local cafes and pick their own restaurants. Warsaw's rebuilt Old Town and Royal Route are part of the guided portions, while Gdansk gives you time in the historic shipyards and medieval center. You'll stay in comfortable 3-star hotels close to everything, with breakfast included each day.
Our upscale 10-day Poland circuit really shines when it comes to thoughtful touches and excellent hotels.

Our customers particularly value the local experts who join the tour - they really know their history and culture.

9 tours in PolandPoland's small-group tours shine through their personal touch and adaptable pace. Our guides Justyna and Alexandria earn constant praise from travelers, as they blend deep historical knowledge with local insights while adjusting the rhythm to match each group's interests. The most popular route pairs Krakow's Jewish Quarter with visits to the Wieliczka Salt Mine, where visitors explore vast chambers and salt sculptures 327 meters underground. Our older travelers note that, while the Salt Mine involves substantial walking, frequent rest stops make touring comfortable. Groups move efficiently between Warsaw, Krakow and Gdansk by train, keeping the experience intimate and flexible. Cultural highlights weave naturally through each tour - from Highland dinners with Goral music in Zakopane to intimate Warsaw Chopin concerts. What sets these experiences apart are our guides' personal family stories, which add depth to Poland's layered history, particularly at sites like Auschwitz-Birkenau and Krakow's Jewish district. The small group setting allows for impromptu cafe visits, market stops and extended time at locations that capture the group's imagination.

Moving on to Warsaw by rail, local guides lead you through the carefully rebuilt Old Town, past the Royal Castle and inside St. John's Cathedral.

Our 10-day Polish tours really let you sink into the country's soul, kicking off from Krakow's bustling Rynek Główny.

The journey takes you through Auschwitz for an important historical perspective, then continues to Wrocław where medieval squares and painted facades catch your eye at every turn. Most trips swing through Poznań and Toruń, where our travelers get hands-on making traditional gingerbread and exploring streets that UNESCO recognized for their medieval charm. The grand finale comes after seeing Malbork Castle - our customers often say it's their favorite stop, and it's easy to see why when you're walking through Europe's largest brick castle.
Demographics
Solo travelers exploring Poland can take advantage of our solid Krakow-based routes that work really well for independent spirits.

Many people enjoy taking the train between Warsaw, Gdansk and Krakow; it's a relaxed way to see the country. When evening comes, the guides arrange optional group dinners where you can meet other travelers and try authentic Polish dishes.
Our 10-day Poland circuit really hits the sweet spot for couples looking to experience the country properly. You'll enjoy special touches like traditional Highland dinners with Goral folk music in Zakopane and intimate Chopin concerts in Warsaw. The pace works well - there's guided time exploring places like Wroclaw's historic center, then plenty of free moments to wander Krakow's Market Square together. We've picked lovely 4 and 5-star hotels in just the right spots for evening walks and finding good local restaurants. The route takes in some real gems like the massive medieval Malbork Castle and Toruń's beautifully preserved Old Town, which is UNESCO listed.
Young travelers in their 20s and 30s often pick our shorter 4-7 day tours centered on Krakow, where the fantastic nightlife meets rich history. Days include guided visits to Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Wieliczka Salt Mine, while evenings are free to explore Krakow's incredible pub scene - there's actually one of the highest concentrations of bars per capita worldwide. The walking tours through Kazimierz district really resonate with this group, as you'll find historic synagogues next to cool cafes, vintage shops and also street art.
The 10-day comprehensive Poland tours consistently get great feedback from our senior travelers. The pace stays comfortable while covering all the key sites, with plenty of rest stops built in.

Our guides bring Poland's complex history to life at places like the Warsaw Rising Museum and Malbork Castle, which our older travelers particularly value. Several guests over 70 have mentioned that while sites like the Salt Mine involve quite a bit of walking, the regular breaks and optional activities make it totally doable.
Families with kids really connect with our city-hopping Poland tours. The gnome-spotting walks in Wrocław are a huge hit - children love searching for the 120+ bronze figures hidden around the old town. Kids get totally absorbed by the underground chambers and salt sculptures at Wieliczka Salt Mine, while the hands-on activities at Warsaw's Copernicus Science Centre keep them engaged for hours. Our family groups particularly enjoy the gingerbread-making workshops in Toruń where everyone gets to create their own treats.

Fall colors make our countryside and city combinations particularly appealing.

Our travelers consistently mention how much they enjoy having warm traditional Polish meals in local restaurants after full days of exploring. The autumn tours include some nice indoor alternatives if the weather turns - like visiting Schindler's Factory or taking in a Chopin concert in Warsaw. The guides know exactly how to balance outdoor walks with indoor cultural experiences as temperatures start to cool.

How can I experience authentic Polish culture and traditions?
You'll find amazing folk culture experiences right in Poland's bustling market squares and city centers where festivals really bring traditions to life. Head to Gdańsk where you can watch skilled artisans craft beautiful amber pieces it's a centuries-old tradition that's pretty unique to this part of the Baltic. The restaurants are great spots to soak up Polish hospitality there's often live folk music and traditional dancing especially the Goral Highlander performances. And if you're into food traditions don't miss making traditional gingerbread in Toruń it's such a cool hands-on experience.
Where can I find Poland's best natural spots and how do I get to them?
The Tatra Mountains are absolutely spectacular they're the highest peaks in the Carpathians and you can easily reach them from the charming resort town of Zakopane. Babia Góra National Park is another natural gem with these beautiful alpine meadows and forests you can drive there yourself or join an organized tour whatever works best for you. Then there's Masuria which people call the Land of a Thousand Lakes it's gorgeous and you can explore it by boat or take scenic drives through the region.
What are some amazing places in Poland that tourists haven't discovered yet?
You'll love Toruń it's this incredible medieval city with UNESCO status and amazing Gothic architecture but way less crowded than Krakow or Warsaw. Cathedral Island in Poznań is really special it's actually considered Poland's birthplace and has these fascinating legends but tourists often miss it. Another hidden gem is Elbląg Old Town it used to be this important Hanseatic port and still has beautiful medieval architecture but gets way fewer visitors than Gdańsk.
