"The Association for the Development of Stunted Orchards" of Lublin, organized a professional and recreational trip to the Unites States of America in August of 2005, for Polish fruit growers and nursery gardeners. The main goal of this trip was to become familiar with American fruit farming while discovering interesting tourist destinations. We visited the city of Seattle, Wenatchee, San Francisco, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Buffalo, and New York as well as the surrounding areas, as well as 'the six wonders of nature', namely the Redwood forests, crater lakes, Yosemite National Park, the Valley of Death, the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls. The trip was a great success thanks to Panorama Travel & Tours Ltd who prepared a detailed itinerary and professionally followed through with it day by day. Thank you Panorama! We recommend this company to all individuals or organizations and not only to those who have the intention of visiting the USA and Canada, but other countries as well."

My new mission of the Ambassador of the Republic of Poland in Canada begins with a commitment not only to strengthen the existing relations, but also to improve them. I am firmly convinced that one of the areas where the improvement is possible is tourism. Poland is one of the most fascinating European destinations enjoyed by those who appreciate quiet contemplation of nature as well as those who are attracted by Europe's history and traditions, the heritage of so many Canadians.
The Polish National Tourist Organization, a specialized government agency for promoting tourism, operates a number of offices throughout the world, which cooperate with local tourist agencies in offering travel packages for those who are interested in visiting Poland. One of its most outstanding partners in North America is Panorama Travel and Tours Ltd., founded in 1991 in St. Catherines, Ontario. Its special tour packages that guide Canadians through historical sites of Poland are very appreciated in the framework of promoting Poland as a tourist destination. Many Canadians have noted with satisfaction that Panorama Travel and Tours Ltd. through the hard work of expending its services and offering various kinds of tourist activities in Poland has provided a precious gateway to discover our country. The Embassy strongly supports the efforts of Panorama Travel and Tours Ltd. and other tour operators who have been able to develop their own unique and valuable tourist proposals presenting the richness of Poland.
I warmly recommend travel to Poland. Polish history, culture, traditions and landscapes will prove to be very inspiring to those who make an effort of exploring that part of Europe. Panorama Travel and Tours Ltd. will certainly be of assistance if one plans to visit Polish destinations.

 Poland was the first European country we had toured as a family, and thanks to Panorama Travel, it was a huge success. We learned so much history, ate delicious food, shopped 'til we dropped, and just had fun. It's a perfect destination for a family as there is something for everyone in Poland.
Poland is a beautiful country with friendly, welcoming people and should not be reserved for just those of Polish decent; it's far too interesting for that! Everyone would enjoy the medieval towns and castles with their gothic and renaissance architecture, the diverse music, the museums, the fabulous food, and the opportunity to learn first-hand about European history.
The Davis-Kos family, August 2003.
Poland why not?
It is an understatement that Poland does not loom large in terms of places to visit in Europe. We know Paris, Pisa, Prague but Poland? What a pity, as I was to find out during our two week discover trip in September. Not only were we exposed to the beauties of renaissance architecture, which did not end in golden Prague as I believed, but received a much better understanding of European history and the important role Poland plaid in it. Imaging more than a thousand years of culture, wars and interrelationships with neighbouring countries, little of which we are aware of in North America.
Jim Currie, Ottawa
In Sept 2001 I was fortunate to take a guided tour of Poland with Panorama Travel, and my husband and I have not stopped talking about it since. The quality of the tour was second to none - hotels clean and comfortable, with no expense spared when it came to restaurant meals e.g. exquisite dinner in a Warsaw Old Town Square restaurant. I can't wait to go back - but only with Panorama Travel!!

"I would like to warmly thank Panorama Travel & Tours Ltd for organizing our stay during World Youth Day in Toronto in 2003; over thirty young men and women from the archdiocese of Warsaw took part in this trip. I wish to underline the fact that the staff at Panorama treated our requests with the outmost professionalism. Thanks to Panorama Travel & Tours Ltd., our three week long stay in Canada was very successful on all accounts and I would like to take this occasion to thank Panorama again for all that they have done for us."

Panorama Travel has excellent programs. The LOT Airlines flights, ground services, our guide from Toronto and throughout Poland and back to Toronto, the calibre of tour guides in Poland, all were"top notch". The trip was well organized.
Our guide from Panorama Travel had a "surprise" of some sort every day, whether it was enroute, or lunch at a local restaurant featuring local food and entertainment, or gourmet/theme dinners. We looked forward to another such 'surprise' every day. Be advised, POLISH BEER IS FANTASTIC.
The most attractive aspects of the trip are wonderful churches and great architecture. The array of castles is phenomenal, the heritage and culture have been well maintained.
Jennifer Matulak
Travel Consultant
Touring a country with such an illustrious past demands a knowledgeable guide and we certainly had this with our guide Andrew who explained, with great passion, the history of his native country.
As you travel throughout a country you can learn much about that country through its food, a fact that was taken into account by the tour organizers. Our meals were arranged so that we had the opportunity to try a great variety of the local delicacies, even the wild mushrooms that are very popular in Poland. We also had the opportunity to eat in a variety of beautiful restaurants, which was a fitting end to an exciting day.
A country's music provides insight into the character of its people and we were introduced to a variety of music performances. These included an organ recital at midday in a Gothic Cathedral with excellent acoustics in the town of Frombork, folk music at an excellent restaurant in the Tatra Mountain resort of Zakapane and the music of the Jewish Trio Galicyjskie in the Jewish quarter of Krakow.
Dollar for dollar this tour cannot be surpassed.

The trip was great from start to finish. Castles, palaces, cathedrals.
medieval town squares encircled with beautiful buildings, many being world
heritage sites, made every day special. Poland is an undiscovered jewel for
many westerners who have yet to put it on their travel agenda. (Some
aggressive advertising would help). We had an interesting group of people ,
many with Polish roots. Andrew, the guide gave unstintingly of his time to help us
with our individual projects and found some special forest mushrooms that
we enjoyed at dinner. All in all one of the best trips ever!
