Private guide-driver & car services in Poland & Central Europe

I am the travel agent that arranged this trip for my 4 clients. They wanted a very customized tour of Poland with time to visit family. From the first email from Tomasz he listened to what they were looking for and sent me a perfect itinerary. They told me when they returned that the tour was excellent and that their tour guide/driver, Lucasz, was amazing. Thank you GFP. I highly recommend this company.

I have always wanted to visit my ancestral villages in Poland, so a Google Search led me to the Greetings from Poland website and their fantastic reviews. It seemed too good to be true, but our tour was everything we had hoped for and more. Tomasz at GFP and I emailed each other many times, and he created a full day itinerary that took my wife and I to four beautiful villages between Krakow and Rzeszow. Our guide was the delightful Rafal, who safely drove us to all the villages, studied our family history documents, and took us to ancestors houses, churches, and cemeteries. He tenaciously questioned villagers, school teachers, and priests, who were all very friendly and helpful. We even met a 97 year old “cousin” who knew my grandmother! Since we had never been to Poland and don’t speak Polish, Rafal’s assistance was absolutely essential in getting us to the villages and talking to the locals, since none of them spoke English. We made Krakow old town our home base and are enjoying its charm and beauty as well. If you have always wanted to visit Poland, especially if you wish to discover your Polish roots, GFP is a great choice!

We highly recommend that if you are going to Poland and want to do something out of the ordinary (or maybe within the ordinary) that you look no further than GFP-Travel. We were a family of six. All four of are children are young adults. We wanted to go off the beaten path to explore some parts of Poland. Tomasz (owner of GFP) was able to put our ideas into a workable plan. He was able to plan our meals; excursions; accommodations; and make sure we went to the places we wanted to see in Poland. Everything was top notch. Tomasz was easy to email and he responded quickly. We had two drivers while in Poland. Rafal and Wojtek executed Tomasz's well laid plans perfectly. Both were excellent drivers and we had some great conversations with both of them. Each was very knowledgeable about Poland. Anytime we wanted to stop or change something both were accommodating. The vehicle was always clean and was very comfortable for all 6 of us. It is without any reservations that I highly recommend GFP travel. We would definitely use GFP in the future.

We did a 15 day tour,3 days tour of Berlin and surrounding area with a local driver, Oleg and several local tour guides. A train ride to Warsaw and we were picked up by Rafal who was our private driver for the next 5 days touring Poland. He was amazing and we soon became friends. Several times he gave us little gifts and always made sure we were comfortable. When we got to Krakow his brother Lukas took over as our driver for the last 6 days thru the rest of Poland and into the Czech Republic. Equally as friendly and caring as his brother and had us laughing many times. So nice to be in a vehicle for so many days with awesome, kind and caring young men. The tour itself was EXCELLENT every detail was taken care of and the local guides were knowledgeable and great story tellers, but, Rafal and Lucas made the trip FUN as well. Highly recommend them as part of your tour!

My sister and I booked to have a private driver for our day traveling to Auschwitz and Sosnowiec. It was going to be a hard day for us as we were following our families roots in Poland and the holocaust. We were very grateful to have Rafi as our driver for the day. He was sensitive to our situation and was very attentive to all our needs. He booked us in to a beautiful lunch spot to break up the day and gave us the space to connect to our families history. He was a very welcome guide and companion for the day and made the day an enjoyable experience for us.

Perfect trip from start to finish. First booked in 2020 but had to cancel due to Covid. Tomasz was wonderful about this postponement and worked with us the entire time until we took the trip this month, May, 2024. You have no worries whatsoever, as Tomasz handles everything, stays in touch regularly, and answers questions promptly. He made it very easy for us to customize our trip and we had a wonderful, stress free time. Our guide/driver was Kris, who was a great guy and became a friend by the end of our 18 days together. Very organized, safe driver, infinitely informative, and kind. This trip was so well planned and organized by GFP Travel that it was seamless. My husband and I had a wonderful time and could not have been more thrilled. I would never use another travel for this part of the world, as I'm sure there are none better out there. Highly recommend.

We had an outstanding 17 day tour with our guides Marcin and Maks. Your guides are hugely important to your tour success, and these 2 were great. In addition to the usual old town tours, churches, and castles, we spent alot of time outside of the big cities. For us, these were the best parts of our visit. If we had known more about Poland's natural beauty we probably would have spent even longer.

All the services were perfect. Our guides provided a great experience. We can 100% suggest this company. We have done more tours, like the Krakow city tour, Auschwitz or Warsaw city tour. All mentioned services were without any mistake and funded our expectations.

I highly recommend GFP Travel. For many years, I had wanted to visit concentration camps in Poland, including Sobibor in eastern Poland which is where my grandparents were killed during the Holocaust. I had only limited time, and wanted to squeeze in visits to three camps (Auschwitz, Majdanek and Sobibor), but the problem was they not located close to each other. I had sent inquiries to other tour guide companies, and was told that what I wanted to do was impossible. Tomasz at GFP prepared an itinerary which not only included all three camps, but also added guided tours of Krakow, Lublin and Warsaw. He was wonderful to work with, patient, and prepared an excellent itinerary. Our guide/driver, Jacek, picked us up at the airport in Krakow, drove us everywhere, and drove us to the airport in Warsaw for our departure. He patiently drove us for hours around Poland to all our requested sites without complaints, which included driving for miles along a pothole filled road to reach Sobibor. Jacek was extremely knowledgeable about the history of all the places we visited, and was a pleasure to be with. We needed to have kosher food during our visit, and Tomasz and Jacek were most helpful in this regard as well. Tomasz booked us in excellent hotels in each city, and all our needs were taken care of from our arrival in Poland through our departure. They made our visit to Poland most enjoyable and informative, and I give them my highest recommendation.

We did three trips with GFP. All were excellent. Victor drove us to the salt mine from Krakow. He was a very pleasant and enthusiastic young man. Pawel drove us to and from Auschwitz and we was a fount of local knowledge. Chris drove us from Krakow to Lublin and provided excellent discussions of the history of Poland and the places we stopped at. Highly recommend GFP for consistently high service.
