“The cruise we had was the last one of the day and it was magnificent! Almost to the end of the onward journey there was still a little light but that soon changed and Krakow came alive with all the beautiful colours of its lights on the river banks, the structures and the bridges and their reflection in the Vistula was just breathtaking. Lots of wonderful photos and memories! Highly recommended!!”

“We have just returned from the Exciting Poland Pearls of Poland tour with a 2-day custom extension. This was a fabulous trip. Grzegorz at Exciting Poland is great to work with. He helped us to plan for our experience, providing useful information and guidance. Whenever we had a question, we received a very prompt response. The tour itself is a comprehensive excursion that took us to the highlights of the region. We really appreciate the fact that the tour groups are small. This makes for a much better experience. Our tour guide/driver, Witek, is the best! He took care of our every need, made excellent suggestions for restaurants and sites…”
