Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

In this online cooking class, you’ll learn how to make authentic Polish pierogi from scratch – and from the comfort of your own home!
Our local Krakow team will bring you virtually into their kitchen and teach you the secrets of the perfect pierogi, so that you can all cook your own, together.
As the national dish of Poland, pierogi (dumplings) are more than just a tasty meal. You’ll learn about the different kinds, how they’re actually served in Poland (versus how you’ve probably eaten them elsewhere), and even about the pierogi saint. Yes, there is one!
Be sure to have a beer on-hand to drink while you cook (or maybe some vodka – remember, your hosts are Polish!). During the process, you’ll be able to ask questions of your hosts while also learning about the traditions and history of Krakow.
Your hosts are experienced guides, cooks and bartenders, and of course, also pierogi worshippers.
Once you’ve finished cooking, you’ll sit down together to enjoy your pierogi and have the chance to ask any questions about life in Poland.
An ingredient and supplies list will be sent to you via email ahead of the tour, and a copy of the full recipe will be sent to you after the tour.
You will need:
- All-purpose flour, egg, oil, potatoes, onions, farmer’s cottage cheese
- Stable internet connection
