Masurian Lakes Self Guided Tour
Overall we enjoyed the holiday and the holiday guide, Gosha was friendly and helpful. However, we feel there is room for improvement on this trip.When we received the trip information, we did not receive the handlebar bag (though we did get a €10 refund for this).We booked on the optional Warsaw tour, having been assured that the tour was in English as well as German. However, although we enjoyed the tour, the person who lead it only spoke in German and the cycle guide then translated about a quarter of what she said to us.On the transfer up the Masurian Lakes, the cycle guide gave a lot of information about Poland but none of it was translated into English which was rather frustrating.On the cycle tour, the directions were sometimes not detailed enough and a few times were wrong, eg one day they told us to turn right out of the hotel when they meant left! Also, the written directions did not always match the directions on the given maps.The grading of the trip was misleading. We had previously been on a cycling trip with Rad and Reisen from Passau to Vienna that was graded 1 and the cycling was very easy and relaxed. As this was graded 1-2, we did not expect it to be much harder. However, a lot of the cycling was on dirt tracks and sandy paths and there were more hills than we expected.The main disappointment of the trip was the scenery. On the website, the trip says ’Masuria, in the land of 1000 lakes’ so we expected much of the cycling to be on lakesides, but in fact none of it was and most of the time we could not even see the lakes.
