I felt as though the sites were well planned out and very informative. I would definitely go back to Poland again through Collette. We were able to visit several cities and churches and learned the history of the country which helped me learn about my heritage more clearly.Leah Hurst

City tours were very educational. Collette staff member called me about a bad review I left. She was dismissive and short with me. Collette owes travelers money for the poor transportation they provided to JFK. Collette also needs to supply travelers with a caring staff member to help us navigate through the airport. We were left on our own. I would never travel with Collette again. Very unfortunate.

The trip was rated “3” and I was walking 6-7 miles a day. However, the woman I went with could NOT walk 200 feet without sitting to breathe. She held up the others and kept us standing in the rain… unable to walk the kilometer to the bus . Getting her through the airport terminals to catch flights and the Dulles customs was a disaster ! She wasNOT qualified for this trip ! Many times she kept our guide separated from our group so that Anna could stay back with her…. Denying us from her guidance. I feel this trip was sold to her only for the money… totally inconsiderate of others who paid for the experience.

The tour trip was well organized. I agree with the trip rated as level three. I was told I was able to endure the amount of activities. I should have gone with my own instincts. The level was way too much for me. I would definitely choose COLLLETTE again.Carol Hoffend

We toured much of Poland and from friends who lived in Poland came the assessment that we were visiting all of the most important places. The most memorable experience was Old Warsaw to experience how the area was rebuilt according to the style and structure before being destroyed in the Second World War. It was like being in a time travel capsule.Thaddeus Pijacki

I think every day was my favorite day! Visiting Malbork Castle, the town of Tourun, and seeing the Black Madonna were probably the highlights for me. Although I did enjoy seeing the Baltic Sea where I was amazed to see swans swimming! Oh, and the Salt Mine trip - you have never seen anything like this.Lorraine Miller

Every single city and tour was spectacular. I think my favorite city was Krakow and Wawel Castle. Malbork Castle was incredible too! My favorite experience was our first welcome to Poland dinner where we were served a traditional Polish meal and had wonderful entertainment from a Polish Folk Group called Lajk Folk. This trip had a good deal of walking but worth every step!Francine Kane

Our Discovering Poland tour with Collette was a wonderful experience. The itinerary enabled us to make a circle of the county and visit its varied regions. The schedule of two days in each city (one in Torun) allowed time for guided sightseeing and a bit of free time. I was impressed by the beauty of the Polish cities, each one containing its own surprises. Too, we were able to visit eight UNESCO World Heritage sites in this one tour. Highlights were the visits to the Częstochowa monastery, the Wieliczka Salt Mine, Malbork castle and discovering unfamiliar Gdansk. The camps at Auschwitz were unforgettable and thought-provoking, outside the bounds of any other travel experience. I must make special mention of our tour director, Monika Slupkowska. She is very knowledgeable about her country, always ready to answer questions or find the answers to them, and a very personable tour leader. The hotel accommodations were excellent and centrally located. We very much enjoyed the meals of local Polish cuisine. I really gained a great deal of knowledge about Poland through this tour. I would certainly consider a Collette tour for future travel.Andrew Lisowski

Our guide, ***********, was excellent. Hotels were in good locations, but the rooms were not comfortable. Our time in Czestochowa was much too long and our guide useless. Because we were there so long, our time in Krakow was limited. There should have been an additional day in Krakow. We wasted a lot of time at lunch after visiting Auschwitz. The city guides were good, in particular, ****** in Krakow The bus was very comfortable. The gingerbread baking could have been eliminated Breakfasts in all hotels were very goodPatricia Mackay

Our guide was fantastic; we learned so much about the country and its history. I wish we could have stayed longer! I'd never been to Poland before, and this was a great tour/overview of the entire country. I would have liked to spend more time in Krakow and in Auschwitz, but I guess I this just means that I need to go back.

Fabulous tour and itinerary. Not enough time in each of the cities, there is so much to see. The tour manager was one of the best I've ever had. Krys was awesome! Did not like 3 of the 5 hotels because beds too small, rooms too small (even for Europe), and not user friendly. Too high tub walls to get over for shower, etc etc. Poland is an undiscovered gem! Just loved it - fab food, so much history to learn and hear about, just terrrific! Every city has something unique to offer visitors.

All hotels were better than expected except for the Art Hotel in Krakow. Although this hotel had a very favorable location, its customer service was inadequate. CNN was not available and the A/C was not functioning at all when the weather was unusually hot. When a complaint was registered with the hotel staff regarding the non-functioning A/C, we were told it was performing as expected. That meant that they did not intend to do anything about it.Robert Wilson

It was better than what I had anticipated. However it would be better if the tour manager was more considerate. The tour manager let one particular couple seated at the same seat (first row up front) in the bus thru the whole tour. There were no physical disability on this couple -- (being selfish not to share its seat) not letting anyone else sit of where they sit! My favorite was Krakow -- lots to see and do!Christine Turcol

This was my favorite trip with any travel company. It was well planned and coordinated. The guide was excellent as were the city tour guides and the bus driver. The guide was well informed and provided information regarding the country's history and current events. My most memorable experience would have to be the continuous beauty of the country as we traveled through it. That being said, I would also say seeing how much this country has been through and recovered from is absolutely amazing.Marilyn

Our favorable experience was our tour guide, She was born in Poland and was involved with the solidarity movement. She was outstanding. Her description of her personnel experiences and knowledge of that period of history added immensely to the overall tour. Being of Polish heritage, I became even more proud of my background. Several tour stops stood out. We especially loved each city square, the solidarity museum and the salt mine. The tours of the concentration camps were also memorable, if only to keep us aware of this period of history, so that nothing like this ever happens again.

The local tour guides, with the exception of Mikhail and Anna were not of the quality I have become accustomed to. And although they spoke English it was quite difficult to understand them. But then again Anna who led us through Auschwitz was truly remarkable.
