We travel through patchwork farm landscapes stopping in Poznań, before arriving in the modern Polish capital, Warsaw, where we'll spend the next two nights. Embrace the youthful verve of a city that has triumphed over repeated conquests and the shackles of communism, then spend the evening at leisure exploring the sights. You'll check in to your hotel, situated just 350 meters from the Warsaw Uprising Museum and near the remains of the ghetto walls if you'd like to dive deeper into the area's tragic history. (B/D) Stay: Leonardo Royal

Join a Local Specialist this morning to explore Warsaw's colorful historic center, including the Old Town, which the Nazis destroyed in retaliation for the brave Warsaw Uprising. We'll also see the former Warsaw Ghetto, where hundreds of thousands of Polish Jews were imprisoned during the German occupation, tragically immortalized in the poignant Roman Polanski film 'The Pianist'. Spend the rest of the day exploring the city's sights on your own. Consider a visit to the Wilanów Palace, a priceless testimony to the splendor of Poland's royal past, or treat yourself to a Chopin recital, before joining your travel companions this evening for a delicious Regional Dinner at a local restaurant.

Wow 3 , NSW, Australia, Dec 2019
This was an amazing trip full of fun and excitement. It was a wonderful to see the European landscape in winter, we even visited a snow resort in Slovakia for lunch. It was uplifting in beautiful Vienna, Budapest and Prague but there were also sombre and thought provoking times at Auschwitz and in the Polish ghettoes. The Be My Guest dinner at Schieszl ...read more winery in Budapest was a highlight. If you get the chance don't think twice, just go.
Great way to see Central Europe 3 , NSW, Australia, Aug 2017
The weather in August was fantastic but unfortunately it was school holidays and there were a lot of tourists everywhere we went. Most of our excursions were early so as to avoid the crowds which is great if you like getting up early. This trip involved a lot of long days traveling which I know is probably unavoidable but can be quite exhausting as ...read more well. Tour group and director were great and we certainly did see a lot and have same great experiences. Optional excursions were excellent and worth the money.
Trafalgar's Bohemian Highlights 10 , QLD, Australia, Aug 2017
The Trafalgar Bohemian Highlights tour was outstanding. From the start, the Tour Director, Jon O'Reilly was both professional and personable with all members of the group. Our driver, Christof, got us to all locations on time and assisted with those needing help to alight from the bus as well as delivering our bags to the lobby on arrival.

All hotels ...read more that we stayed in were superb. The cities that were visited on the itinerary were breath-taking and although we only stayed for 2 days in each, it made you want to go back for more. The optional tours were excellent and a lot of fun. While the inclusions were outstanding and brought the group together more. I travelled as a solo but made many friends with both other solo travellers or other couples. There was a good range of Australian and overseas people on the tour.
My favourite destinations were Berlin, Budapest, Vienna and Prague. I will definitely be travelling with Trafalgar again. Their organisation and accessibility into the prominent sights is superb and you will always attain value for money on their tours.
It was a great experience.
Bohemian Highlights 7 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2017
A wonderful trip. Perhaps on our sightseeing with specialist guides time can be set aside to take photographs as memories can fade but not the photos. Both Justine and Kris were great each in their own way, definitely made the tour safe and enjoyable. Yvonne and Global Journeys you are the best. Hope to have another holiday in 2018.
We'd go again!   6 , WA, Australia, Jun 2017
The whole Bohemian June 23- 8 July 2017 tour was organized brilliantly and our tour guide Justine M is a vocal and passionate wealth of knowledge on the East European countries fight for existence in the turbulent regimes and wars they have survived. She is also a lovely, diligent and caring tour host. The group was varied and well suited to the mammoth ...read more Bohemian tour area coverage. Hotels were brilliant and very local to the cities visited. Local tour guides were fantastic.. especially Koty and Yolante. We'd go again.
Bohemian Highlights   8 , ACT, Australia, Sep 2016
The trip was set at a good pace and everything was extremely well organised. Our bus driver (Radik) was amazing - the best we have had. Loved Berlin, Budapest and Prague.
