    We have made many trips with Smithsonian and Odysseys and were apprehensive about taking a tour with a company which was unfamiliar to us, particularly to an unfamiliar we have never visited. We did the research and were impressed by the favorable reviews of Insight Vacations and decided to take a chance. We were impressed! The policy is that the tours are limited to 20 persons. The full-sized Mercedes built bus had eight rows removed, so leg room was more than adequate. The tour leader, Alex, was absolutely amazing. An Australian with Polish roots,, Alex displayed, both, knowledge and passion for the beauty and complicated and tragic history of Poland. The tour caught my eye, because it covered the highlights I was interested in seeing. While nine days hardly does justice to the amazing history of Poland, we feel that we received a great introduction and an exceptional cultural and learning introduction. All of the hotels were exceptional and while Alex handled ever detail with alacrity, he deferred to excellent local guides at each tour stop. All else would not matter if one did not feel safe during the travel itself and the driving of "both" Rolfs was exceptional. I have visited well over 100 countries, including almost all of the countries of Europe and found Poland to be beautiful and culturally and geographically compelling. There are too many places on my wish list to seriously consider returning, but, both my wife and I would welcome a return to Poland and another adventure with Insight. This is an adventure you would long remember.

    Poland was an amazing country. The people are resilient and welcoming. The itinerary was packed and it might be nice to have a few late mornings. All local experts were knowledgeable, approachable and honest about their country. We were surprised initially that the tour had 40 people, we anticipated “ small group” to mean 10 - 15, however we have made several new friends.

    Poland is a great country, however the itinerary is much too structured and fast-paced. There was no time to just enjoy the city without getting information overload. Everything was on a strict time constraint. There needs to be in a change in the itinerary, and for the price that was paid I much rather go with another tour operator. That being said I will say the food and the accommodation work great as well as the tour leader.

    KRAKOW: Everything was wonderful in Krakow; by far my favorite city on the tour. There was ample time to see things on our own and enjoy the group activities. ZAKOPANE: The afternoon tour was fine. One option you might want to mention is the spa services at the resort. I made reservations for a massage/facial. When I mentioned this to others on the trip, there were a few that also wanted to do that, but unfortunately, there were no available appointments. I wouldn't necessarily make it an option, but I think you should suggest the services at the spa and if interested in scheduling something, it would be the individual's responsibility to make those arrangements. Unfortunately, some people don't do the level of research in advance as I do. The evening meal was nice, but should be in a bigger venue, as the band was so loud that you couldn't carry on a conversation with those in your group. AUSCHWITZ: A must visit. WROCLAW: Lovely city; all activities were well planned. POZNAN: A few things I would change. The hotel in Poznan was not very nice; the original hotel was the Sheraton Poznan Hotel. I'm not sure why there was a change. I would look at changing to a nicer hotel, as the hotel we stayed (not the Sheraton) was dingy and dirty inside and out. Also, in Poznan, one of our activities was to view a comical twist to the making of a croissant. I think this could be eliminated, giving the group some needed free time to explore the city or rest. I would have much rather walked around the town, than to have gone to this presentation. Perhaps make it an option; it didn't add to my overall experience. TORUN: Beautiful city; enjoyed this stop. GDANSK: Loved every minute of this. WARSAW: Loved every minute of this.
