The tour that you prepared for us exceeded all of our expectations. We could not be happier about our genealogy experience and the fact that you were able to tailor a trip into Slovakia demonstrates that you are customer focused and not just creating a “canned off- the- shelf” tour. Our guide made the tour even more special. His knowledge of the history of Poland and the areas that we visited provided additional insight for us.

Our guide/driver/translator/genealogist Daniel was VERY knowledgeable- like a walking history book! I am very happy with the result. I would recommend Polish Origins to anyone wanting to delve deeply into their Polish roots and use their expertise to find out their ancestry.

Our guides — Wojtek in particular — were all we could have asked for. We felt as if they fully understood why we journeyed to Poland and the significance of our visit and they applied themselves fully to ensuring that our ties to Poland became tangible to us.
I encourage anyone like me trying to discover my family’s history in, and ties to, Poland to work with PolishOrigins.

I think you all are doing an amazing job. I am grateful to your founder for creating such an invaluable service. I could have never done this on my own. It was an experience unlike any I have had before.

Zbigniew was amazing! He asked questions that got us from not interested in helping to “what more do you need” He was always aware of our needs and handled them perfectly with much patience!I was able to meet relatives and fill in some blanks. And, I walked the land where my grandparents were born prior to leaving for the US.

Our guide was excellent. He found more living descendants than we had expected to meet and was personable, easy to communicate with, and deeply passionate about his work.
Overall an amazing experience with wonderful support from Natalia along the way!

All the guides were amazing! They were not just reciting history. They were very knowledgeable and passionate about the information! Zbigniew was so much more than I expected! He is an absolute professional! I was in awe of his skills and abilities! This trip was life changing!
I never imagined that I would find family from both sides of the family!

A tour like this is so very difficult to organize, since it is so free form. I was looking for something customized for my needs, and Polish Origins succeeded.

Zenon Znamirowski (CEO and Founder of PolishOrigins) was our Tour Leader and driver for our custom 10-day tour: Warsaw, Wrocław, Poznań, Toruń, Gdańsk, Malbork, Płock (Catholic Shrine of the Divine Mercy), Lublin and Kazimierz Dolny and back to Warsaw. Zenon and our local guides made our trip beyond memorable!! The local guides were very interesting, passionate and truly enjoyed their jobs. Before starting each tour, they asked us what we wanted to see and accommodated our requests. Therefore, this was not a rigid/structured tour but an interactive and flexible tour which was very much appreciated and informative. You could tell that it was more than just a job as their enthusiasm was genuine.
The location of all the boutique hotels was perfect, we were right in the city center, had amazing views, and could walk to nearby restaurants while taking in the local culture.
Words cannot describe how thorough, detailed and PROMPT all of our communications were throughout the entire experience! I cannot imagine any other tour company could exceed the superior customer experience delivered by Polish Origins. Furthermore, I would like to say that my wife and I have traveled extensively in our lives, including all 50 states in the US, and many countries across the globe. We have traveled on our own and utilized multiple well-known tour companies. Without doubt, Polish Origins has been our best all-around travel experience.
While traveling with Zenon Znamirowski (CEO and Founder of PolishOrigins) on the tour, we learned a great deal about him, his company and Poland. He is very relaxed, personable and accommodating This was much appreciated throughout the tour. By doing the tour himself, he learns first-hand what his clients’ needs and interests are to make enhancements to future tours. Polish Origins is another level of excellence, this is directly attributed to Zenon’s guidance and leadership, his selection of tour guides and the strong team he has built. We highly recommend Polish Origins!!!
