More than a trip. A connection.
Bring a Polish Christmas home with you
Maybe you grew up with opłatek on Christmas Eve, pierogi on the table and kolędy sung in Polish. Maybe you only know them from Babcia's stories.
On this tour you'll walk the old town squares where those traditions were born, hear the carols in the open air, and taste the gingerbread and mulled wine of a Polish December.
And you'll come home with something truly special: a glass ornament you painted yourself in a traditional Polish bauble factory — for your family's tree, for many Christmases to come.

I went on the 2024 Christmas Market Tour with Tom and Adam, and it was fabulous! The whole Christmas atmosphere and the wonderful food and drink was just amazing. The concert, the bonfire in the mountains and bauble factory tour were special treats!
This was a great trip! We loved the size of the small group tour. Both Adam and Tom were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and flexible! We saw interesting sites, ate great Polish food, and enjoyed the Christmas Markets of Poland.
My recent Christmas Market tour of Poland was exceptional! The company took care of every detail and ensured any special requests were met.
We also learned much about Poland's past and present… Hard to beat a sleigh ride complete with roasting kielbasa over a campfire at dusk.
Your roots. Our home.
A Polish family company with an American story
Over 18 years ago, Tom and Adam spent four months in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Almost every day someone asked them: “Are you Polish? My grandma was from Poland!”
Those conversations became Genealogy Tour — a family-run company from Wrocław that has been helping Americans reconnect with Poland ever since: heritage tours, genealogy research and trips like this one.
