Planet

CARBON REDUCTION:

This itinerary is designed with a strong focus on minimizing carbon emissions. To curtail air travel emissions significantly, we've included extensive rail travel as a primary mode of transport. The journey charters a course through major Polish cities - Warsaw, Gdansk, Poznan, Wroclaw, and Krakow - all connected by efficient intercity railway systems.

Within cities, we tap into the vast network of public trams and trains, further reducing CO2 emissions per person.

A substantial element of this trip involves human-powered exploration. This comprises extensive walking tours, immersing travellers in the heart of Polish culture and heritage.

Our choice of accommodation contributes to carbon reduction too. Most properties we select are refurbished historical buildings, rigorously compliant with environmental regulations.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE:

Environmental preservation is interwoven throughout our tour. We opt for accommodations in older, refurbished buildings, supporting the recycling of building materials and reduction of environmental impact from new constructions.

This trip also promotes the preservation of critical natural habitats. The Lazienki Royal Park and the Stolowe Mountains National Park are just two of the tour sites that offer travellers the joy of exploring stunning landscapes while contributing to their upkeep and preservation.

Sustainability education is a crucial part of our tour, and all travellers are provided with actionable information on how to further minimize their carbon footprint during their journey.

As a responsible tour operator, we are committed to reversing the effects of climate change. We donate 1% of each trip cost to various sustainability causes, reiterating our commitment to a healthier planet and fostering community growth.
