Do I need a visa for Poland?

No, UK citizens can visit Poland visa-free for short stays, though the EU Entry/Exit System applies at the border.

Is the Auschwitz visit suitable for everyone?

The visit is moving and can be upsetting; it is optional, and you may spend the day in Krakow instead.

Yes, an indoor swimming pool and fitness facilities.

Who looks after the group?

A tour director travels with the group.

Can you tailor the trip?

Yes — every escorted tour can be modified into a private tailor-made version with your own dates, adjusted pace, upgraded hotels and add-on extensions. Tell us what you'd like changed when you enquire and we'll quote it both ways so you can compare.

What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?

If your international flight is part of your booking through us, we re-book at no cost. If you've booked flights separately, the tour's local team holds your transfer slot until you arrive. We strongly recommend a comprehensive travel insurance policy that includes delay and cancellation cover.
