About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- AshChrisW0 contributionsExcellent tour company for a dream, customized trip to Poland! Perfect for a large family group!I highly recommend using GFP travel for booking your trip to Poland. We were a large family group of 15 people, ranging from 4 months to 60 years old. I knew we’d need help navigating this trip and Tomasz was excellent in this regard. He helped us customize the trip based on our wants/needs. He was always quick to respond through the planning process and then made sure we had all the pertinent information once it came time for the trip. This was a bucket list trip to see the Christmas markets and Tomasz made sure we were seeing all the best ones! Our guides in Poland were all amazing - but especially Rafal. He was so patient with our group, which was not always easy. He never made our kids feel like an inconvenience. We hope to return to see more of Poland one day and will 100% book with GFP and request our favorite guide, Rafal (aka pancake 😊).Written December 13, 2024
- johnlV3200XK0 contributionsGFP 6 Day Poland TourOur 6 day Poland tour with GFP Travel was excellent. Our driver/tour guide Rafal provided excellent service throughout our tour - he was responsive to our needs and also provided great insights and info on the sites we were touring during our trip. I would highly recommend him if you’re planning a visit to Poland. Our hotel in Krakow was not great so we ended up moving to the Radisson on our own dime, but otherwise the trip was excellent and informative.Written December 9, 2024
- Odyssey166687607230 contributionsOctober 2024 Poland TourMy wife and I were on a GFP private tour. We were pleased with every aspect of our trip. It was great working with Tomasz in the planning stage. While touring Poland the hotels were conveniently located and comfortable. Our local guides were very informative and personable, tailoring their presentation to our particular interests. Our guide/driver Maks was wonderful! He was very friendly, hospitable and accommodating. He did everything he could to ensure we had a fantastic trip. Our GFP tour exceeded our expectations. We will definitely use GFP services on our future tripsWritten December 8, 2024
- joanaD9187YU0 contributionsWonderful trip to PolandGreat tour company: Tomasz was very prompt and efficient with details and communication. Rafal was a competent and knowledgeable driver and guide. He was passionate about his country and wanted to share it with his clients. He went above and beyond to make our trip special. I think we all parted not only as satisfied customers, but as friends. All local guides were also friendly, spoke English fluently, were well versed and knowledgeable in their area of expertise.Written October 13, 2024
- 699hankf0 contributionsThey definitely deserve these great reviewsI have always wanted to visit my ancestral villages in Poland, so a Google Search led me to the Greetings from Poland website and their fantastic reviews. It seemed too good to be true, but our tour was everything we had hoped for and more. Tomasz at GFP and I emailed each other many times, and he created a full day itinerary that took my wife and I to four beautiful villages between Krakow and Rzeszow. Our guide was the delightful Rafal, who safely drove us to all the villages, studied our family history documents, and took us to ancestors houses, churches, and cemeteries. He tenaciously questioned villagers, school teachers, and priests, who were all very friendly and helpful. We even met a 97 year old “cousin” who knew my grandmother! Since we had never been to Poland and don’t speak Polish, Rafal’s assistance was absolutely essential in getting us to the villages and talking to the locals, since none of them spoke English. We made Krakow old town our home base and are enjoying its charm and beauty as well. If you have always wanted to visit Poland, especially if you wish to discover your Polish roots, GFP is a great choice!Written October 10, 2024
- Meander3000580 contributionsBest Trip Ever!My husband and I took a 9 day customized tour of Poland. The trip truly was the best trip we've ever been on. Our tour of Poland turned out to be much more meaningful and beautiful than we could have ever expected. The tours were thorough and informative and every stop was well worth our time. We can't say enough about how much we appreciated having our guide, Maks, with us. He transported us around safely, recommended excellent restaurants and even took us to several places that weren't on the itinerary. We plan to go back sometime and we are already talking about what parts of Poland we want to see next and what areas we would like to return to. When we do, we will not hesitate to use GFP Travel again.Written October 2, 2024
- janetlZ8886KF0 contributionsLike winning the lotteryI have traveled all over the world and this was the best experience I have had. The organization was superb, the hotels wonderful, the sights and sounds amazing, I cannot say enough about this company. I worked with them to create a tour that was custom made. Kristopher the tour guide and driver is steeped in Polish history and was patient, kind, flexible and a joy to travel with. The company did not miss a step…sheer perfection. I found them online and took a chance and it was like winning the lottery. Kudos all around. Thanks for such a memorable trip.Written September 19, 2024
- Lars300 contributions5 Star tour of Poland!My husband and I recently came back from an amazing custom 12 day tour of Poland. Tomasz did an excellent job organizing an itinerary that spanned Warsaw, Krakaw, Zakopane, Torun and Gdansk with side trips to Auschwitz and the Salt mines. Our driver Luke was with us the whole time and provided excellent service..he was knowledgable, prompt and catered to our every need. He also was vital in organizing our bike trip in Zakopane and even volunteered to ride my bike up a few hills that were just too steep for me! Our favorite museum was The Polin. I highly recommend Greetings from Poland. They will provide and comprehensive tour of a fabulous country!Written September 17, 2024
- Q5193HPelizabethc0 contributionsAmazing trip!Our tour was amazing! Michał and Rafał our drivers were so responsive and helpful. They also provided great recommendations on things to do! Highly recommend!Written September 7, 2024
- E4475ICdebr0 contributionsGot WAY more than I'd hoped for!I booked a private guide to Borek Stary, a small village east of Krakow. Our guide Rafal Kisielewski was absolutely fantastic. We had hoped to just get a "feel" for my grandmother's village because she left in 1913. Rafal questioned townspeople who then helped us in our quest. We found a family member, a cousin (several times removed) who took us to the family cemetery. We also found the general area where her home had been. Rafal just didn't give up hunting for us and the townspeople were so friendly, spending hours with us! I highly recommend this company.Written September 4, 2024
- I268LPjudys0 contributionsFive star review for GFPThis was our first trip abroad and we decided to take the tour with GFP. We would highly recommend this type of tour, particularly if you have no idea where to go. GFP did a private custom tour with a dedicated driver at each of the cities we went to. Drivers were extremely knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure we had a once in a lifetime experience! Booking on line was extremely easy and Tomasz was totally responsive to our every need.Written August 12, 2024
- R5427LIdavidl0 contributionsTop Notch ServiceWe highly recommend that if you are going to Poland and want to do something out of the ordinary (or maybe within the ordinary) that you look no further than GFP-Travel. We were a family of six. All four of are children are young adults. We wanted to go off the beaten path to explore some parts of Poland. Tomasz (owner of GFP) was able to put our ideas into a workable plan. He was able to plan our meals; excursions; accommodations; and make sure we went to the places we wanted to see in Poland. Everything was top notch. Tomasz was easy to email and he responded quickly. We had two drivers while in Poland. Rafal and Wojtek executed Tomasz's well laid plans perfectly. Both were excellent drivers and we had some great conversations with both of them. Each was very knowledgeable about Poland. Anytime we wanted to stop or change something both were accommodating. The vehicle was always clean and was very comfortable for all 6 of us. It is without any reservations that I highly recommend GFP travel. We would definitely use GFP in the future.Written July 30, 2024
- janmO1907WF0 contributionsKraków Region ToursHello Tomasz, I just want to take a moment to thank you and your amazing team of drivers and guides for your very well planned and organized Krakow region tours that you set up for my family of ten people including my four young grandchildren. Your team of drivers and guides including Rafal, Michal, Tarek, Marek and Lucas were outstanding. They were all very professional, knowledgeable, timely, attentive to our needs, and extremely flexible to changes. As you know, on the second day our tours we planned to go to Zakopane and the Tatra mountains and spend the full day there. Due to rain and heavy fog that day, we were not going to be able to see everything we had planned for the day. After spending 4 hours in the Zakopane area, we needed to find something fun to do indoors for the grandchildren and the rest of us. Your recommendation to stop at the thermal water park on the way back to Krakow was a great idea. We all thoroughly enjoyed the water park addition. My grandchildren still talk about how much they enjoyed that day of our trip. We are especially thankful to Rafal and the driver for being so flexible and waiting for over 4 hours in the parking area while we all swam. I know it was a much longer day than they had planned. Thank you also for the recommendations of other things we could do on our own in Krakow area with the grandchildren and restaurant recommendations. We highly recommend GFP Travel and working with you Tomasz, for anyone planning a trip to Poland. We would definitely do it again! Dziękuję bardzo!! Sincerely, Jan MichalskiWritten July 28, 2024
- H184XHjohnc0 contributionsBeautiful, with much history.A last minute trip that was amazing. From the initial meet and greet to hopping on the final train, the itinerary was seamless, thanks Tomasz.. we varied the itinerary a bit to fit in with our overall trip and this was easily accommodated by Tomasz. The hotels varied a bit, but all were good. They were central so we walked a lot, but the public transport is easy to access and even I worked out how to pay easily. The guides, of course, made the trip. They are all different, but all were friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Thank you very much. Poland is a very interesting place to visit and see, we would be happy to stay longer. It’s friendly and relaxed and feels very safe. Next time I would try to avoid arriving at Modlin airport as it is so far out, but that didn’t trouble our guide Jola who came to meet us. The best city? Sorry, that’s just too hard. Thank you to all our guides again :)Written July 14, 2024
- A5470LYvictoriar0 contributionsAn amazing tour with GFP Travel! Highly recommend!I highly recommend GFP Travel for your trip to Poland! My husband has a degree in Holocaust studies, and he realized he really needed to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp. We decided to book GFP Travel's tour, “Tracing WWIl History in Poland." It was amazing! All of our guides and drivers were native Poles who spoke excellent English and knew so much about WWll history, and it was also interesting to talk with them about how Poland is today. Auschwitz was so intense and so heartbreaking, but I'm glad we visited, because you can't even begin to imagine to scale of the horrors until you visit it for yourself. Our guide in Warsaw, Jacek, drove us all around Warsaw, was so nice and taught us so much, and our guides/ drivers in Krakow — Lukas, Robert, etc. — were so great, too. They were all well-informed and very helpful, and so was Tomasz in the GFP office. Lukas even took us to a wondertul roadside sausage restaurant between Auschwitz and Krakow that we never would have known about on our own. Thank you so much for an amazing journey, GFP Travel!Written July 9, 2024

Our family contracted with GFP to tour multiple locations throughout Poland, the ancestral home of my 86 year old mother-in-law who was traveling with us. We had a party of 8 traveling in 2 separate vans throughout the country. Tomasz and his staff were extraordinary in their support and assistance, and were not only able to guide us to relevant sites, but also located and translated birth and marriage records from old Russian into English.
I would also like to give the highest possibly compliments to our guide, Marek. He was helpful, kind, cheerful, knowledgeable, gracious, understanding and simply a wonderful person to spend time with. He never treated us a simply customers but as friends needing assistance, which he did with grace and charm. We are all in deep appreciation of his efforts and highly recommend him, as well as GFP, for anyone else seeking similar services.

I recently booked a custom 13 day tour for 9 friends and me to tour Poland and Prague. It was great. I had been planning this tour for years and knew what I wanted and didn't want. I talked to a number of travel agents before booking with GFP. The other agents would not go to some places I wanted to go or tried to push me into one of their cookie cutter standard tours. Also, the travel agents that were based in the US couldn't answer many of my questions or needed days to get answers. I wasn't comfortable dealing with them as I felt they didn't have a detailed understanding of Poland. GFP was another story. What I heard every time from Tomasz at GFP was Yes, we can do that. He also offered opinions as to places I did not have on my list but there was no pressure. He answered my many questions promptly and accurately. He put together or tour with the maximum amount of touring time at a cost that was very reasonable.
The tour went off without a hitch. Our guide was very friendly. He played, polkas and other music during our travel time in the van. He told corny jokes and taught us Polish words and phrases. Of course, he was very knowledgeable about Poland and Prague including present and past history. By the time the trip was over, we considered him to be a friend.
Our driver kept us safe on the roads and endured the traffic and parking hassles that we would have had to deal with without him. He also was very friendly and we got to know him well. He also became our friend.
If you are planning a tour to Poland, My advice would be to stay away from travel agents outside of Poland. These agents will try to put a tour together but they really don't have the knowledge or resources that an agent in Poland has. GFP is a first class travel agent. Just read their reviews and you will see the overwhelming positive responses they have received. Add our experience to all the other positive responses. I would Recommend GFP highly and would use them again without hesitation.

Leo,
Thank you very much for such a thorough and detailed review after your trip with us. I'm glad you noticed one thing - no one knows their country and its attractions better than a local travel agency like GFP Travel in Poland. Moreover, as you noticed, our prices were reasonable and did not include an additional intermediary margin.
I well remember our emails from the beginning of this year, in which we agreed on everything. It is also thanks to you personaly, that you devoted so much time to ensuring that your group of friends had a well-prepared trip.
Therefore, we invite other groups on trips around Poland and neighboring countries, both according to the programs available on our website and tailor-made ones.
Thank you once again, Leo, for choosing our travel agency!
Greetings from Poland !

Our visit to Auschwitz & Birkenau was extremely meaningful. Our driver/guide Rafal was outstanding! He provided useful information and communicated with us in english so we didn’t have any trouble to understand each other. We were on time for the visit and as soon as the got there Rafal showed us where to buy water, some snacks and also where the toilet was, very important before the long walk inside. When we were done with the tour he was waiting for us ready to take us back, he kindly drop us off where we asked him. We are very satisfied with the service so I widely recommend it!! 5 stars!! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

We took a day trip from Krakow to visit the Wieliczka Salt mine, Auschwitz/Birkenau, and Wadowice. Rafi was our driver and he was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the sites and sounds of Poland. We didn’t have any tickets for Auschwitz and he helped us to strategize the best way to give us an opportunity to get them. (Highly recommend you book in advance!) He rearranged our itinerary and we luckily we were able to get last minute tickets, thanks to him! He was very sensitive to my elderly mother’s needs and made sure he was attentive to making her comfortable. We had a fantastic day trip thanks to Rafi, and we highly recommend using their services if you need a driver in Poland!

We came to Poland from the USA for a 10 day tour, then hired Rafal to help us find my grandmother's family. Rafal was amazing! He found her church in Kamien and then found my great grandparents' graves! He spoke with a priest who directed us to a tire store a mile away. We met a second cousin, his mother and aunt. Rafal interpreted this joyful reunion! We were able to add many unknown relatives to our family tree with his help. We will call him again when we return!
