What travelers are saying

"This tour has amazing sites, good hotels in great locations, great pace BUT the tour director that was assigned to be with our small group added nothing to the experience. He did not give us any info, tell us about what we were seeing, give us any info at all. The only time he talked was to tell us when the next bathroom break would be. Apparently this is common for Globus to use retirees starting another chapter. Our guide was 76 and had no energy. Travel with Gate 1 or Intreped.... guides can make or break a tour."

What travelers are saying

"We have loved Gate 1 and always sing their praises. We've been on 7 tours with another one booked for fall. We were supposed to leave for Ecuador this week, however the country is in a 60 day state of emergency with the escape of 2 infamous gang members. Tourists are advised to stay indoors and there is a daily curfew from 11pm-5am. (our flight was to land at 11:15pm). Our trip included stays in 2 of the main cities of unrest. There have been shootings, car bombings, hostage taking, closing of embassies, and other countries issuing do not travel warnings. Other tour companies have cancelled tours or offered refunds or rescheduling. Travel insurance does not cover wars or civil unrest, but we are clearly afraid to go there. Both we and our travel agent have reached out multiple times with our concerns and asked if we could reschedule or get some sort of credit. We continue to get the same reply either in person or via email...Gate 1 has your safety as our highest priority and we feel you are safe ("they are not targeting tourists") and your itinerary should not be impacted. What? Their highest priority is $ and not our safety. There is no way that's the tour we anticipated. We cancelled the trip and took a 90% penalty, loss of deposit, and $276 airline penalty. It's a LOT of money, but we would have been terrified, and it's not worth getting hurt or worse. Sorry, but it's not the company I want to do business with in the future."

What travelers are saying

"It was a very eventful itinerary that allowed us to see 8 countries in two weeks. The tour was very fast paced in order to accomplish the advertised program and it felt rushed. In order to travel to 8 different European countries, you have to expect that there will be a lot of coach seat/drive time. Our tour guide Jemma and coach driver Gabriel were very professional and focused on meeting Expat Explore’s tour destination requirements. Jemma always provided interesting information and tips about the cities and sites that we were visiting. Our driver Gabriel always got us to our destinations on time and safely. The included and optional excursions were conducted at a moderate to swift walking speed, at some places there was no time to take pictures. Some of us found it difficult to keep up with the group, and once caught up to the group, who were at a stopping/rest point, it was time to resume the walking tour which did not allow some of us to catch our breath. You have to keep in mind that this tour is a “budget” tour. With that in mind, some hotels were sub-standard. The Paris hotel had mold in the shower. As expected, some hotels did not have air-conditioning, and other hotels which did have air conditioning were not adequately able to cool the room. The included tour dinners and lunches were very average. We had better dining experiences when we were left on our own when we used our free time. Overall, we were pleased to see all European countries/cities/sites included in the tour. This review was submitted to Expat Explore to be posted. I believe that Expat Explore only posts 4 and 5 stars reviews on their website which gives a misleading impression of the services they provide."

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

Poland Tour Selection Trips

  • A highlight of your trip will be learning about Poland's past. Take advantage of the free walking tours that are available in cities like Warsaw and Krakow where you can truly get the most out of the culture.
  • You will hear the term “Milk Bars” while visiting Poland, and no, they're not bars that sell milk! They're actually cafeteria-style restaurants that offer delicious homemade Polish meals.  
  • When planning your trip to Poland, don't forget to include visits to one of 14 different UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
  • Poland is an extremely affordable country. Key tourism costs, like admission tickets, restaurant meals, and hotels are all very reasonably priced. 

Additional details

Common Countries Also Visited on Poland Tours

Poland is often included on Europe tours that include other nearby countries. Poland shares land borders with Belarus, Lithuania, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, and Russia. European tour packages offer the chance to visit one or more of these places, as well as a stop to Poland and the many cities the country has to offer.

Estonia and Budapest are  also very popular stops on Polish tours.

What is the Weather Like in Poland?

Poland features a mixture of continental and oceanic climate influences. The country experiences extremely cold winters, often below freezing, and fairly warm summers.

Winters are often freezing and springtime is also very cold and will bring about snow showers. Summers experience temperatures of around 64 degrees Fahrenheit with the occasional rain shower. Around Autumn, the temperatures begin to decrease.

Who Will Enjoy Visiting Poland?

Absolutely anyone will enjoy visiting Poland! Polish cuisine and architecture bring many tourists in every year. History buffs will especially love this country due to its historical architecture, fairytale castles, and WWII stories.

Nature lovers will also love Poland. Mountains covered in lush vegetation and thick forests like Bialowieza Forest, make for great hiking trips. The Great Masurian Lake District, a labyrinth of rivers, is a great place for scenic boat trip.

When is the Best Time to Visit Poland?

The best times to visit Poland are during the summer and spring months when the weather is warm and the colors of nature are at their most vibrant. However, during the summer months, you will need to pack an umbrella because the weather is extremely unpredictable in Poland, with rain showers and occasional thunderstorms. The streets become flooded with locals and tourists alike filling the open air cafes and museums.

If you are looking for a quieter time in Poland as well as a good ski trip, then winter would be the ideal time to visit. This is the least popular time amongst tourists, but it is also the driest. You will also find good deals on flights when booking at this time.

The good news is, no matter what time of year you are visiting Poland, there is always something to do.

Key Polish Phrases for Travelers

Polish is known to be one of the most difficult languages to learn, with J’s sounding out as Y’s and W’s making a V sound, it may get slightly frustrating to catch on. Here are some key  phrases with simplified phonetics to help you on your trip:

  • Hello/hi/bye (informal): Czesc (cheshked)
  • Nice to meet you: Milo Mi
  • How are you?: Jak się masz’ (yak-she-or-mash)
  • Goodbye:  Do widzenia (oe-wid-zen-yah)
  • Good morning: Dzien dobry (jeen doe-brah)
  • Good evening: Ddobry wieczor (doe-brah vee-ech-cho)
  • Good night: Dobranoc (doe-bran-nok)
  • Yes/no:Tak (tahk)/Nie (nee-eh)
  • Please: Prosze (proh-sheh)
  • Thank you:Dziekuje (jink-wee-ah)
