Dev Chatterjee – Kolkata2026-04-09 · Verified booking
Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Worth every rupee.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. No hesitation recommending them.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Would send friends their way.

Mazovia and Pomerania done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Questions people ask
It is a reconstruction, and openly so. The Germans destroyed some eighty-five percent of the city after the 1944 Rising, and Poles rebuilt the old town through the fifties using surviving plans and Canaletto's eighteenth-century paintings. UNESCO listed it precisely as an example of reconstruction, not as a surviving medieval town.
