The Spirit of Poland

Morning: Enjoy a 3-hour introductory tour of Warsaw. It will include limousine transfers and the very best of the city: the charming Old Town painstakingly rebuilt from scratch after WW II, the area of the former Jewish Ghetto, the busy downtown, the elegant Royal Route, and Lazienki Royal Gardens.

Afternoon: Free time

Evening: Attend the Chopin piano concert organized in the side wing of the Royal Castle.

Morning: We’ll arrange a private transfer to the Warsaw railway station, where you will board the express train to Krakow. The journey shouldn’t take more than 2,5 hours. In Kraków, our local driver will welcome you at the arrival platform and transfer you to the hotel.

Afternoon: Meet one of the best local guides to explore the historic city, in particular the largest medieval square in Europe, with the 16th-century Cloth Hall in its centre and the world’s largest Gothic altar in the splendid St. Mary’s Basilica. Also, take some time to walk the cobblestone streets of the Old Town up the ceremonial route to Wawel Hill and the castle of the Polish monarchs. This comprehensive tour will take 4 hours.

Evening: Free time and overnight in Kraków.

A full-day private tour with your English-speaking driver who will take care of all the arrangements.

Morning: Explore Auschwitz, which has unfortunately become a grim symbol of our civilization. Our tour will include the Holocaust Museum in Auschwitz I, as well as the less frequently visited Auschwitz II – Birkenau, the extermination camp itself.

Afternoon: Travel to the Wieliczka Salt Mines, a fascinating monument of engineering which dates back to the 13th century. The subterranean universe comprises over 300 km of galleries hewn into the rock and salt deposits.

Return to the Kraków hotel in the evening.

Select from one of two equally interesting but different complementary private excursions, and travel in comfort by car with a professional and personal English-speaking driver/guide

1st Option: ZAKOPANE

Zakopane is the main Polish mountain resort at the foot of the majestic Tatra mountain range (over 2,000 metres above sea level). A car tour around Zakopane, admiring the exquisite and very characteristic local wooden architecture and making a funicular railway trip up to one of the most beautiful places in the Tatras: Mt. Gubalówka, facing the astonishing beauty of Zakopane. During the day, you will also have enough time to walk down Krupówki Street for souvenir-hunting.

2nd Option: CZESTOCHOWA

We set out on a journey to the south of Poland and visit Częstochowa, its spiritual heart. The monastery is famous for the miraculous painting of the Black Madonna, and you will be taken on a guided tour of the grounds by a Pauline monk

Depending on your flight/ train schedule, our driver will take you either to the airport or the railway station in Kraków.
