What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

"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."

What travelers are saying

"First time we (mom and daughter) have done a tour and first time with on the go tours. What a special trip we had doing the 13 day Casablanca to Essaouira Morocco tour (26 Nov - 6 Dec 2023). We started the first 8 days doing the totally Morocco tour and the last few days at our own pace with down time in Essaouira. Jamal our guide led the tour from start to finish and took us safely on a culture filled journey. His knowledge of the country, it’s history and people was informative and inspiring. Every request was “no problem” and delivered with a smile and happy demeanour. Everything in Morrocco was “no problem” and we felt safe and looked after. We were driven in a comfortable coach with enough stops along the way to not feel long by our competent driver Suleman. The hotels, Riad and Dar were extremely comfortable with exceptional service. We would not have had the same experience travelling on our own, we felt as though we truly experienced Morocco. Everything was a highlight for us and we will definitely book another on the go tour in the future. If you wanting to see true Morocco we would strongly recommend doing this tour."

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."

"I waited 20 years for my dream trip to Scotland and Ireland and splurged $7000 on this tour. The second half of touring Ireland was great, the first portion in Scotland was horrendous. The tour guide for Scotland made sexual advances and inappropriate comments to me and I had to cautiously avoid him and stay with the group to not have any interaction with him. I also sustained an injury on the bus, caused by the driver, which I had to report to CIE myself. I filed a complaint with a CIE customer service manager when I returned and learned that another woman also filed a complaint regarding the tour guide (2 women from the same tour!) CIE has not responded from the initial report over a month ago and have DONE NOTHING!!! This sexual predator is still working as a tour guide for them which is a screaming indicator regarding the sexual harassment investigations and policy enforcement for this company. Beware if you are a single woman and are looking to book with CIE, there are better options and I strongly recommend you avoid this company!!"

"The cruise was cancelled 2 weeks before departure. The replacement was a serious step down and appalling. The Croisi Boat (MV Beethoven) should be avoided at all possible cost. It is a rattling banging creaking heap. VJV just dump people when they arrive (they booked flights and transfers) with no refreshments, no protection from the cold and no information. They are just let to wait for the boat to allow them on, which was around 2 hours. To save money, they all dock alongside each other and this boat is the last. You need to cross two other boats to get ashore and the crossings are precarious and worrying for elderly or disabled passengers. It is impossible to sleep in cabins akin to prison cells with the torture of noise all night long"

Warsaw Tour Selection Trips

  • The Royal Castle tour is 35 dollars and is open everyday except Mondays. The huge structure is hard to miss when making your way into Old Town and is accessed easily by tram or bus.  
  • The Warsaw Rising Museum is made up of many exhibits and can be quite a maze to make your way through. Each exhibition is organized in chronological order, although it is very easy to get lost and end up in the wrong tour. Therefore, you should always follow the signs. There is also a great audio guide that is extremely insightful and allows you to stay on the path.  
  • When visiting Majdanek, the Nazi German camp, it is recommended to look up the weather due to the tour being mostly outside. The entire site it huge, so be prepared to spend hours taking in information and wear proper shoes for walking.
  • When visiting Warsaw's Palace of Culture and Science, you will want to make your way to the “XXX Floor”, which is the 30th floor viewing terrace that reaches 375 feet above Warsaw giving you an exquisite 360 degree view of the city below.
  • Old town of Warsaw at night is a great place to try some Polish foods and great tasting craft beers. If you are tired of traditional Polish food, you should try the pizza at Same Krafty which has pizza just as tasty as the beer.
  • Old town is basically in the middle of everything there is to see in Warsaw. It is very easy to get around the area just by walking. Transportation is also efficient and inexpensive. You can choose to take a bus, train, or metro.

Additional details

Where is Warsaw?

Warsaw is a city located in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland. It is the capital of Poland and is its largest city with 1.7 million inhabitants. Warsaw is an alpha global city, which means that it is an extremely important node in the global economic system. With Poland being home to many UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Warsaw's’ Old Town holds a spot on that list.

Warsaw boasts of diverse architecture which reflects the city's tumultuous past, ranging from Gothic churches and neoclassical palaces to modern skyscrapers and Soviet-era blocks.

The city is  is very close to the other surrounding polish cities. The distance between Warsaw and Krakow is 167 miles while its distance to Lublin is only 95 miles.

When is the Best Time to Visit Warsaw?

The peak months to visit Warsaw are between May through September with temperatures fluctuating in the 60s and 70s. It also rains during this season so be sure to pack an umbrella. Although, there are more crowds in comparison to the colder months, the many seasonal activities make up for it.

With the summer months comes big events like Chopin Summer Concerts where you can hear talented young musicians and world renowned pianists. There are also Warsaw Summer jazz days as well as an International Street Art Festival.

If you're looking to travel to Poland on a budget, you will find cheaper tickets during the colder months of December through February when weather is a chilly 20 to 30 degrees.

Is Warsaw Safe?

Violent crime is almost non existent in Warsaw. With a safe rating of 80.7, it is ranked 16th out of 113 on the ranking of the safest and most dangerous cities. The occasional pickpocket on public transport will occur, but other than this it's is an extremely safe location. For female travelers, it is safe but traveling anywhere you should always use common sense.

One area to avoid as a traveler in Warsaw is Praga. Northern Praga can be dangerous at night and is considered to be the poorest part of the city. The highest amount of crime occurs here in Warsaw.

During spring time, Warsaw may flood in certain areas. Other natural disasters are highly unlikely to occur.

Getting to Warsaw

The easiest and most convenient way to reach Poland capital is by air. There are two international airports in the city that connect the city to the world. Warsaw Chopin Airport is at a distance of about 10 kilometers from the city center and is connected to the city through five bus lines. You can also take a taxi or choose the railway to travel to the city.

Warsaw Modlin Airport, located 35 km from the city center, is a smaller airport and hosts only budget airlines. Take a ModlinBus from there that works 24 hours a day and takes about 50 minutes to reach the city center. If you choose to travel by train, that will be an 1 hour and 15 minutes journey. A taxi is also an option.

Three train stations in Warsaw provide service for domestic as well as international trains. Warszawa Centralna, Warszawa Zachodnia, and Warszawa Wschodnia. You can purchase the tickets online or from the ticket windows at the stations.

Dworzec PKS Warszawa Zachodnia is the only bus station that facilitates national and international bus connections. Tickets can be purchased online or at the station.
