Fantastic trip! - Pawel is an amazing polish driver! So friendly and empathic. We could talk about the country and the culture even before to start the tour. The guide girl (forgot her name) was brilliant too! I really recommend the crew and the tour. Hopefully I’ll be back to Poland again. See you guys… hugs from Brazil.

Lublin and Majdanek Tour - The Lublin and Majdanek tour was an outstanding experience. Maciej, the driver was very professional, always making sure the group was comfortable. Maks, the tour guide was very knowledgeable. Both Maciej and Maks are amazing individuals, I very much enjoyed speaking with them. The first part of the trip was to Majdanek camp. Majdanek was one of the most memorable historical sites that I've visited, the history was fascinating but also very tragic. The Second part of the trip was to Old Town of Lublin. The gothic and renaissance architecture in old town is a sight to see, very beautiful. Chapel of the Holy Trinity was breathtaking, so much history in one location. The 14th century castle was very impressive and well preserved. The entire tour was fantastic, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you to the AB Poland Travel team for such an amazing opportunity.

Great trip to Majdanek and Lublin - My guide was prompt, polite, considerate and extremely knowledgeable. His English was perfect and he was a very interesting conversationalist. When I was tired after Majdanek and suggested we skip Lublin, he strongly suggested that I should see the 15th century frescoes in the Trinity Chapel. He was entirely correct. This was one of my favorite sights anywhere, and I have travelled to over 60 countries.

Amazing Tour - My adult daughter and I toured in September of 2019. Our guide was great and quite friendly. We were so glad that we could have a giude to drive us from our hotel to and from Majanek so that we did not have to rent a car or try to find public transportaation all of the way there. Visiting Majdanek was a moving experience and the number of other visitors was much, much lower than at Auschwitz. The town of Lublin was cute and we enjoyed our lunch and getting to know our guide.

Camp - Must have a tour guide. Ours was very knowable. Very good. Would highly recommend. The trip from Warsaw to the camp was 2.5 hours. The roads are not the greatest as most of the way it is single lanes.

A day out of Warsawa - If you want to visit this plave you ca either buy a package tour for your own. Very expensive. Easy to reach with train to Lublin. Bring a good map. Noone here speaks english or other language than polish. Here you can walk for your own without meeting thousands of tourists.

Incredible experience at Majdanek and Lublin - AB Poland Travel delivered a memorable experience for me from beginning to end. I booked this tour about a month prior to my travel to Warsaw for the purposes of nurturing my interest in history and furthering my research for a personal project. The tour company was very responsive. Being that it was my first time in Poland and I was booking this tour as a solo female traveler, I asked questions to make sure I would be comfortable, and they were very responsive, reassuring, and accommodating. I ended up being the only participant, so I enjoyed a private tour, and they were able to accommodate an earlier start time so I could get back a little earlier. The driver, Matteus, arrived at my hotel a few minutes early. He was polite, easygoing, and a very safe driver! He confessed that his normal route was to Auschwitz, so instead of asking him questions about Majdanek, I ended up chatting with him about Polish culture, politics, and economics, which provided for a very easy and engrossing 3 hour ride to Majdanek. Once we arrived at Majdanek, I was greeted by the tour guide Patricia. She was impressive - a wealth of knowledge. She knew all the key dates of events that took place at the camp, the names of key figures at the camp, the details of daily life at the camp, details about every section of the camp, and fascinating stories about successful escapes from Majdanek. I was informed that while Auschwitz is the most frequently visited camp, Majdanek is the best preserved camp and less "commercial." There were some organized tour groups there at the site on the say I went, but the environment was definitely respectful and solemn. It didn't feel like a tour factory. Words cannot begin to describe the haunting experience I had at Majdanek. I am grateful that I was the only participant and Patricia was so patient, because I got to take the time I needed to absorb everything, especially in the museum. I think I took a lot more time than an average participant. Total, including the walking tour of the large camp, I spent about 3 hours there. Then, Matteus drove me and Patricia to Lublin, where we walk for 1.5 hours to learn about the history of her home town. The tour ended with a late lunch in the town center, at a restaurant Patricia recommended to be the best for traditional pierogis. Indeed they were the best pierogis I had in Poland! I cannot speak highly enough of this tour company, the driver, or the tour guide. If you are in Warsaw or anywhere in Poland and are interested in touring any of the camps, this company will ensure you have the best possible experience. TIPS: (1) in the summer, wear sunscreen; (2) wear comfortable shoes for a lot of walking; (3) have cash on hand to tip your driver and tour guide; if you are the only participant like I was, tip accordingly if you are pleased with the services.

Majdanek closed - no refund! - We arrived to Majdanek only to find that it was closed. We took some pictures far away from the road and then walked through someone’s dewy field to see a little bit of the back. It was very disappointing as that was the sole reason we booked the tour. Our tour guide called the company and without asking us our opinion, got tickets for us to see a small, old church that neither my mom nor I, as well as the other guest, seemed interested in going to see. We tried to remain positive however because our guide said the company was aware of the situation and would be getting in contact with us about compensation. We spent about 15 minutes seeing this small, unimpressive church which was supposed to replace Majdanek - the highlight of our tour and one of the reasons I even came to Poland. We basically wasted an entire day driving in the car that we could’ve better spent doing things in Warsaw. We then waited days after the tour to hear something from the company, but they never contacted us. I then proceeded to request a partial refund (which I though was more than fair) through Viator which they denied saying they took us to the church instead and that was more money (Majdanek is a free state park and the church cost a few dollars [I also didn’t eat when we went to lunch, so that would’ve made up the difference anyway]). I then called Viator to explain everything and they resubmitted the claim. Once again they denied the request for any amount of refund, but said we could get 30% off another tour with them. Why would I want to go on another tour with this company? Why didn’t they contact us at all to begin with? Why wouldn’t they offer this right way (not three weeks later after fighting for compensation), so that we could use it before we left Poland? How often do they think we’re traveling back to the same city in Poland to even be able to use it in the future? And, if they are offering that, where is the discount code or email with the information? The company still has not directly contacted me to apologize or explain anything. Any information I have received has been through a Viator rep. They clearly don’t care about their customers’ experience. They know that there is an infinitesimal chance that I will ever use that 30% off, so they lose nothing but look like they’re trying. I’ve wasted over $500. I would not recommend this tour company!

Worst experience with AB Poland!! - The worst experience with AB Poland!! After 2 hours driving, the Concentration Camp was CLOSED!!!! The tourist guide waa desesperated, with no idea how to solve the situation. ! I've been in contact with AB Poland previous to the trip and they confirmed an re confirmed the excursion. The guide told us that AB Poland will refund 100%!! That the manager will contact us! Guess what??? Through Viator I only got 25% of refund! AB Poland stated that they never approved the total refund, and that we went to the excursion!!! Of course we went to the excursion, if they had no idea that the Concentration Camp was closed!! I lost my day in a highway!!!! Last but not least, I had to choose this excursion because they have also cancelled the one to Aushvitz
