What's this trip about?

    This is an escorted tour. It’s perfect if you prefer not to do your own driving and want to see as many sights as you can during your vacation.  GOOD NEWS - The local tour operator will no longer require a COVID-19 vaccination for travelers as of March 1, 2023.  For travelers departing before March 1, the tour operator requires that travelers aged 12 and older provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination in the form of written documentation (paper or electronic copy), in English, for all vacations. Proof of vaccination must be completed at least 14 days prior to the tour start date. *Exceptions apply to children who do not qualify for vaccination. Embark on this once-in-a-lifetime journey through Poland! Explore this beautiful country, which boasts rich culture, fascinating history, amazing architecture, and breathtaking natural landscapes. Spend three nights in whimsical Warsaw, two nights each in Gdansk and Krakow, and one unforgettable night in Poznan. Along the way, you'll visit charming old towns, storybook castles, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and more.  Take advantage of included sightseeing tours, on which you'll follow expert local guides through the beautiful streets of each city. See famous sites like Market Square and St. Mary's Church in Krakow, gaze out at the Baltic Sea in Gdansk, and visit a legendary monastery near Czestochowa. Enjoy a lovely stop in Torun, the birthplace of renaissance astronomer Copernicus and a UNESCO World Heritage Site! While a vacation should always be fun and carefree, it's always important to learn about the history of the destination you're visiting. With that being said, you'll visit what is left of the Auschwitz concentration camp, a chilling reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust.  This enriching adventure will leave you with a whole new appreciation for Poland. Find out first-hand why it's become one of the most raved-about destinations in Europe!
