Warsaw Tour (Excursion)

Imagine a city that had almost 1,4 million people before World War II. Six years later, its ruins were inhabited by only several thousand survivors. Imagine a city that fought against the occupiers from the very first till the very last day. Imagine a city where every street, every corner, every courtyard has a wartime story to tell.


First, there was 1939 and the German and Soviet invasions. Then, years of occupation. In 1940, the Germans created the largest ghetto in occupied Europe here, which razed to the ground in 1943 after the crushing of the Jewish uprising. A year later, the city was again in flames– this time because of the Polish national uprising of 1944. After 63 days of heavy urban fighting, it was crushed while the Red Army stood idle on the other side of the Vistula River. When they finally crossed over, the city and its people were no more.


Enter a world of unimaginable terror and brutality. Understand people’s eagerness to fight back. Feel the grave meaning of the decisions they had to make. Listen to stories of bravery and cowardice, loyalty and betrayal, but also of daily life under the occupation. Enter a different world – the world of Warsaw at war.
During the tour you will see:
-Zygmunt’s Column
-Monument of the Little Insurgent
-Warsaw Uprising Monument
-Ghetto boundary marker
-Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Torun City Tour (Excursion)

Have you heard about a crusader state funded in the North of Europe? It was established by the Teutonic knights, German crusaders when they still were active in the Middle East…. One of the first two towns in the newly conquered lands they founded was Torun. The town was growing quickly and becoming filled with many great buildings, such as big town hall, castle, churches and houses of wealthy merchants.



Nicolaus Copernicus House (Excursion)

Nicolaus Copernicus was undoubtedly born in Toruń and, therefore, it is here that two historical tenement houses, which used to belong to Copernicus’ family, house a museum with its exhibitions presenting the great astronomer and his achievements.

Owing to major renovation in the years 2017–2018, the Nicolaus Copernicus’ House gained an unsurpassed new glitter. Today it is a place combining the most recent multimedia technologies and historical tissue of a medieval house. Visitors may expect knowledge and excitement focusing around three issues, namely old and contemporary knowledge, everyday life of a middle-class family in a late Hanseatic household and the life and works of Nicolaus Copernicus.

Visitors can admire a modern multimedia interactive exhibition using the greatest achievements of the contemporary museum science, namely smartphone applications allowing visitors to extend their knowledge about the exhibition, an audio guide in three language versions (Polish, English and German) and audio description, extended reality, 3D cinema with films about astronomy, history of the universe, great scientific discoveries, the medieval city of Toruń, holograms or visual displays.

One of the new things in the museum is an exceptional medieval roof truss open to visitors. From there visitors can admire a show with starry skies, as it is there that young Nicolaus saw starts for the first time.

The architecture of the 15th-century Gothic house and historical objects also made it possible to restore the reality of everyday life of middle-class families in interiors of a late medieval household. Numerous objects, including, in particular, those showing material culture and customs of middle-class families from Toruń originate from archeological excavations in the Old and New City of Toruń.

The Museum of Toruń Gingerbread (Excursion)

Located in the building of the oldest European gingerbread factory, which used to belong to the famous Weese family, the Museum of Toruń Gingerbread is the largest gingerbread museum in Europe. It has the largest collection of wooden gingerbread moulds and is responsible for the most extensive research into the history of Toruń’s gingerbread. Opened in 2015, it is a result of many years of work conducted by the nearly-160-years-old District Museum in Toruń and the oldest Polish Confectionery Factory –Kopernik S.A – which combined forces to create an entity which would be responsible for cultivating the traditions of Toruń gingerbread.

Those who visit the Museum of Toruń Gingerbread can explore its impressive permanent exhibition which is both interactive and full of specialist knowledge, make a real gingerbread cake themselves, make use of a children’s play area, admire a visual display on the outer façade of the building (mapping), spend time at a colourful playground located in the inner courtyard, or discover unique, historical exhibits which have been collected for over 100 years.
A virtual shopkeeper installed in the basement of the museum informs visitors about the realities of running a medieval market stall. The same floor houses also a unique collection of gingerbread moulds – the largest one in the Central Europe, representing the period from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. This section of the exhibit includes also an oven for baking gingerbread from the 1960s.

The first floor of the factory focuses on places where gingerbread was typically encountered in the everyday life of Toruń in modern times and during the People’s Republic of Poland era. Visitors can explore a traditional kitchen, looking into a virtual cookbook containing old recipes for gingerbread cakes, get into a Żuk car which was typically used to deliver Toruń gingerbread to shops, and finally visit the factory director’s office and look into a shop filled with packaging of old Toruń sweets.

Auschwitz Birkenau (Excursion)

German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp (1940-1945)
The fortified walls, barbed wire, platforms, barracks, gallows, gas chambers and cremation ovens show the conditions within which the Nazi genocide took place in the former concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest in the Third Reich. According to historical investigations, 1.5 million people, among them a great number of Jews, were systematically starved, tortured and murdered in this camp, the symbol of humanity's cruelty to its fellow human beings in the 20th century.

Wieliczka and Salt Mines (Excursion)

The deposit of rock salt in Wieliczka and Bochnia has been mined since the 13th century. This major industrial undertaking has royal status and is the oldest of its type in Europe. The site is a serial property consisting of Wieliczka and Bochnia salt mines and Wieliczka Saltworks Castle. The Wieliczka and Bochnia Royal Salt Mines illustrate the historic stages of the development of mining techniques in Europe from the 13th to the 20th centuries: both mines have hundreds of kilometers of galleries with works of art, underground chapels and statues sculpted in the salt, making a fascinating pilgrimage into the past. The mines were administratively and technically run by Wieliczka Saltworks Castle, which dates from the medieval period and has been rebuilt several times in the course of its history.
