Itinerary was tailor made for my interests in European history, particularly twentieth century. Also visited a number of places of Jewish interest which was also very much of interest although Auschwitz was particularly gruesome.

He provided use with snacks from each region we visited. He kept us update thru WhatsApp. Our driver was very skilled, lots of narrow streets and traffic and we always arrived safely, thank you. Take this tour, wear comfortable shoes, enjoy.

This is a fantastic trip especially if you are interested in seeing first hand the effects of WWII, and in particular Hitler, has had on these countries. It is however a little bit rushed and it would be good to be able to spend more time in some areas. Would have liked to spend more time around the ghetto area in Warsaw (only saw this at night) and some of the monuments around the city. The location of chosen hotels sometimes makes it difficult to get back to see some things of interest. The visit to Auschwitz is conducted by their guides and is quite rushed and basic. It’s a pity they don’t allow the local specialists to conduct tours. Prague was super crowded.

There were too many cities in a short time. We were being rushed. The cities were great but the constant hustle made it less enjoyable.
