I think the itinerary was spot on fir travellers who have never been to Poland. We managed to fit a lot into the 11 days and the bus rides never seemed too long.

It was a very interesting trip. I had no idea that the history of Poland was so difficult. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the country as she actually lives there. It is a very beautiful and prosperous country. The people are friendly and welcoming. It was an adventure.

This tour is centred around the political and religious history of Poland. It has a jambed packed itinerary with lots of walking involved. Some of the side tours are well worth doing, like the salt mine, but be aware that there are lots of steps involved, which could be an issue for people with reduced mobility, as was the case on our trip.

The itinerary was good, but travelers need to know their limitations. The tour guide recommended to go on many optional excursions, but many were at a time when we already had a full day of sightseeing. We were glad we only signed up for what we thought we could handle.

The itinerary should be longer, with more time spent in each town/city. Perhaps add a stop to a town or resort by the sea for some beach time. A couple of the hotels were more suitable for younger people, not the average age of the people on this tour.
