What travelers are saying

"Our family of four, including two adult children, took the Bicycling: Day Trips to Paradise in Canada. This trip is entirely outsourced to the owners of the inn, there are no Road Scholar employees involved in the trip. Two of us have taken bicycle trips all over the world and the bicycling component of this trip was disorganized, haphazard and almost unsafe. We all filled out forms giving details regarding our bicycle fitting months before the trip. On the first day, the leader Stephen, went around the room and asked the same questions and said everyone would get fitted in the morning before we began the first ride. The morning brought a rack of bikes, all different types in various levels of readiness. There were road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes. The rides were all on paved surfaces and the mountain bikes were heavy and the additional suspension added weight. The bike I received had rust on the chain and rear sprocket. When I asked about it, was told they were waiting for another van to show up with tools and equipment. Once it arrived, they gave me the lubricant to spray on the rust. My wife’s bike would not shift into the high gear on the front sprocket. Instead of adjusting the derailleur, they suggested spraying it with lubricant. Our one son is over six feet and needed a larger frame bike, even though he detailed it in the bike form months ago, there was no bike to fit him. One of the guides, then went home and brought a larger bike that was a full suspension mountain bike for him. The bike was very heavy, hard to control on the road and he felt unsafe. After two days, one of the guides convinced Stephen that they could adjust a hybrid bike to fit him. Clearly there was no work done to prepare the bikes for the trip. Many of the bikes needed adjusting and all needed lubricant to function easily. For every day, there was a tray of snacks placed out for us to take along the ride. None of the bikes had any baskets or attached bags, so if you didn’t bring a small day pack, there was no way to carry the snacks. For lunch on the rides, they brought exactly one sandwich for each rider. Since most of us get hungry while doing a day of exercise, it would have been helpful to have a few extras. On one day, they ran out of sandwiches and one of the leaders that were riding with us did not get lunch. Do NOT take this trip if you are expecting it to be a bicycling trip. We have used VBT and Discovery Bicycle Tours many times over the past 25 years and they are excellent bike tour companies. Lastly, after sharing these details with Road Scholar after the trip, their response was weak at best. After doing the full reviews and having to call them, their response was to give us $200 credit after spending $8000 on this trip. Not only was that insulting, they assumed that I would take another trip with their organization."

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

Additional details

Common Countries Also Visited on Poland Tours

Poland is often included on Europe tours that include other nearby countries. Poland shares land borders with Belarus, Lithuania, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, and Russia. European tour packages offer the chance to visit one or more of these places, as well as a stop to Poland and the many cities the country has to offer.

Estonia and Budapest are  also very popular stops on Polish tours.

What is the Weather Like in Poland?

Poland features a mixture of continental and oceanic climate influences. The country experiences extremely cold winters, often below freezing, and fairly warm summers.

Winters are often freezing and springtime is also very cold and will bring about snow showers. Summers experience temperatures of around 64 degrees Fahrenheit with the occasional rain shower. Around Autumn, the temperatures begin to decrease.

Who Will Enjoy Visiting Poland?

Absolutely anyone will enjoy visiting Poland! Polish cuisine and architecture bring many tourists in every year. History buffs will especially love this country due to its historical architecture, fairytale castles, and WWII stories.

Nature lovers will also love Poland. Mountains covered in lush vegetation and thick forests like Bialowieza Forest, make for great hiking trips. The Great Masurian Lake District, a labyrinth of rivers, is a great place for scenic boat trip.

When is the Best Time to Visit Poland?

The best times to visit Poland are during the summer and spring months when the weather is warm and the colors of nature are at their most vibrant. However, during the summer months, you will need to pack an umbrella because the weather is extremely unpredictable in Poland, with rain showers and occasional thunderstorms. The streets become flooded with locals and tourists alike filling the open air cafes and museums.

If you are looking for a quieter time in Poland as well as a good ski trip, then winter would be the ideal time to visit. This is the least popular time amongst tourists, but it is also the driest. You will also find good deals on flights when booking at this time.

The good news is, no matter what time of year you are visiting Poland, there is always something to do.
