      On the last day it says the end point is the Hotel Vienna in Krakow. Are we supposed to go to this hotel for luggage storage and departure transfers?

    • R

      Rosemary

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      For the optional tours do we pay for those when we book the trip or do we pay for those separately upon arrival? Do we purchase tickets online? Do we arrange our own transportation to these optional tour sites such as Schindler's or Auschwitz?

    • R

      Rosemary

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      On day 1, are we meeting at Hotel MDM for dinner or are we meeting at the Holiday Inn? Which Holiday Inn Express are we staying in because there are 2. On the last day it says the meeting point is Hotel Vienna House Easy, but we are not staying at this hotel. Are we to meet there for breakfast? I'm very confused.

    • Explore!OperatorWritten January 2025

      For the first day of the tour, the group will meet in the hotel reception at 7PM for the welcome meeting and for those that wish, there is a chance to go out for dinner. If you would like an airport transfer on day 1 of the tour, you'll need to arrive into Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW). The hotel that we usually use is the Holiday Inn Express. The hotel and address will be confirmed 21 days prior to departure and will be uploaded with the final documents.
