Perfect Poland

Our eight day trip thru Poland was outstanding! We covered north to south and 1000 years of the Polish and Jewish experience. Our guide Marcin was one of the best we’ve ever encountered , so knowledgable , personable and a great driver as well . Additionally we had special guides in Gdansk , Torun, Krakow and Aushwitz who were also fantastic! We saw and learned so much and gained such an appreciation for this 36 year old nation . Great hotels, delicious dinners planned by Marcun added up to a 5 star week

Our Tour of Poland and Lithuania was even better than we had hoped

Our tour, with stops and sites suggested by Tomasz was outstanding and we would recommend his services and GPF Tours highly. The guides were friendly, on time , knowledgeable and respectful of being with 4 seniors who had to slow down occasionally. The tour suggestions were excellent as well. We saw everything we had hoped to see plus extra, thanks to enthusiastic guides who even recommended restaurants and made suggestions as to what to eat! Drivers were also excellent with comfortable, air conditioned vehicles.

The Best!

Unbelievably good. Everything well planned and thought out, and guides and drivers were uniformly excellent. You simply cannot do better.

Could not have been better !

GFP is by far a superior tour provider. Having worked with GFP more than once I can attest to their excellence. Their efficiency of operation and knowledgeable guides and smart choices of accommodations makes for memorable and comfortable touring.

The travel company and it's manager Tomasz are tremendous! WE had an 11 day tour by rail and all the tour guides we had were not only on time but very knowledgeable and personal. Four days into the trip, my wife became seriously injured and we had to return home. Tomasz and his guide in Gdansk were very helpful to get us to airport and Tomasz worked with us on offering credit for the remainder of the trip if we wanted to return when my wife got better. My wife' injury had nothing to do with the tour location, individuals or anything else. She had a brain issue and heart issue and fell. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wishes personalized service and experience the culture. Jim Gaczewski

Unforgettable cultural journey through Krakow

Our 4-day trip to Krakow was incredibly well organized and immersive. The stay at the hotel was luxurious and perfectly located for exploring the city. Highlights included a fascinating lecture at Jagiellonian University, a guided tour through the historic Old Town and Wawel Castle, and a poignant visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau. We also enjoyed authentic Polish and Jewish cuisine at carefully chosen restaurants, and ended one evening with a moving Chopin concert. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, and every detail was thoughtfully planned. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Krakow’s rich history and culture in comfort.
