The experience

Torun sits about an hour from Lodz and arrives as a near-complete medieval Gothic town: the kind of place where the street layout, the brick buildings and the defensive walls have barely shifted since the 1400s. Your guide meets you at your hotel and drives you there by car or minibus, depending on your group size. The day centers on walking through the Old Town, learning about Nicolaus Copernicus, the astronomer who was born here, and understanding how Torun became one of Poland's most important medieval trading posts. The guide speaks English and can also lead in Spanish, Italian, French or another language if you book that option.

Lunch happens midway through the day and includes a traditional Polish meal: pierogi, chicken soup, schnitzel or a vegetarian equivalent if you've arranged it beforehand. Water comes with it. The gingerbread Torun is famous for (claimed to be the best in the world) is something you'll encounter in the town itself, though it's not part of the formal lunch. The tour runs for about ten hours total, which gives you time to move through the main sites without rushing and to absorb the scale of the place.

You choose between a standard car, a premium car, or a super premium car at checkout. The difference is the vehicle itself, not the route or what's included. All three options include the same guide, pickup from your hotel, lunch and transportation. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and the vehicles are equipped for wheelchair users. It's not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries.
