Why Us

We make Polish travel accessible

Pierogi are among the most inclusive foods out there. There is something for carnivores, vegetarians, and sweet-toothed folks. Just like trying new food, planning travel to a new country may be daunting, but we offer guidance tailored to your budget, experience, linguistic skills, and physical ability levels. Thankfully, Poland is a great place to do that, with some of Europe's lowest prices and many hospitable English-speaking people.

We plan authentic experiences

We work just for you

Poland is our bread and butter (and pierogi), not just another destination in our portfolio. We love our great historical sites, and we know the quirky places off the beaten path that will let you experience what being Polish feels like today. We will not give you a simple definition of a true Polish experience, but we can set up exclusive, personal experiences to help you connect with the land and its people.

We are not agents of airlines and chain hotels. We don't get higher commission the more you spend. Our billing structure is transparent and based on flat fees, so that you have the confidence that we make recommendations based only on your interests. If your great-grandmother is from a tiny remote town no American travel agent has ever heard of, we will give you the resources and support to get there.

We focus on the personal

We balance adventure with comfort

We know the meaning of Polish hospitality

We know what it's like to be an American tourist in Poland, trying to make some sense of a complicated Slavic language, navigating narrow winding streets of foreign cities, and experiencing new flavors every day. We can tell you where Poles go to have a good American burger, so that you can continue your authentic experience over some comfort food. We will coach you on ways to comfortably get around and point you to the many English speakers and resources that will make you feel at home.

Poland is a lovely place to experience as a foreigner. People there love visitors and not knowing Polish is not a problem, as many people speak English. But Polish hospitality means not only that you will receive excellent English-language service at restaurants. Through our network of friendly locals, we can organize unique, authentic, personal experiences. Do you want a local to show you their favorite bards or their medieval university campus? We know people who can do just that.

Whether your relationship with Poland is already personal or not, we will make sure that your experience is. Poland is not just a place to visit World War II sites and listen to Chopin, although doing so is a great way to experience our heritage. Whether you want to see medieval castles, search for your ancestral home, pray at religious shrines, kayak on some of the 2,000 Masurian lakes, or visit breweries and drink IPAs, we've got you covered.

As someone who didn't know a lot about Poland's history going into the trip, Pierogi Trails was a perfect pick! They helped me to make the most of my two weeks abroad and see sides of the country I didn't even know existed. Pierogi Trails was very easy to work with and did a great job crafting an itinerary that worked for me.
