Programs
We wish Jews coming to Poland will not have any doubts they found themselves in a hospitable country, among people who respect and understand the Jewish heritage, and treat the material and immaterial remains of the Jewish culture seriously. We would like the people visiting Poland due to their Polish roots or due to them being interested in history to feel like they were at home. We would also like them to recognize their personal and national history in the feeling of belonging and co-responsibility for the visited regions, places or particular historic monuments. Here you will find a number of Jewish tours which can be realized in Poland. Except all these ready programs, we are open to prepare any itinerary according to individual wishes and expectations - finding family roots in Poland, taking part in cultural events, doing everything which can help to show not only pre-war Jewish culture in our country, but also its Jewish present and future. |

RecommendationsMy name is Monte and, along with my wife Mickey, we led a photography workshop trip to Poland between June 23 and July 8, 2005. The purpose of this letter is to tell you how totally pleased we were with our guide, Monika Prylinska. In fact, I've been conducting photography workshops throughout the world for 15 years and I would rank Monika as the best guide I have ever had. She was very personable, very knowledgeable and went out of her way to satisfy our entire group. Monika was most helpful in making our trip to Poland (first visit for any of us) enjoyable and memorable. Poland is a very beautiful country and we all took home a very favorable impression, thanks in great part to Monika. On a return visit, I would definitely request her as a guide. Sincerely, |
