Do you love using UA-cam for your travel research but sometimes question just how independent some of the material really is?
Or maybe you just crave a little more practical advice and guidance.
Our aim is to provide travel guides based on real experiences with independent, honest, advice.
We'll tell you how to get to places, best times to go (and times to consider avoiding), how to get around when you're there, offer advice on good areas to stay and eat plus, of course, a breakdown of what there is to do and an idea of how much some of it costs.

Nice video, we hope to visit Gdańsk in the Spring from , Connecticut, USA.
Oxford is our favourite Englsih city yet. What a beautiful place to visit. Easy to reach from London for a day trip but also well positioned to carry on to The Cotswolds with great villages like Burford on the doorstep.
Very helpful thanks
Interesting but please try to learn how to pronounce the names of the places you visit.
Your content is good but your editing needs some work. Just some constructive criticism.
As a Pole, I wonder because you visited Poland and the Baltic countries such as Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, how Poland compares to them.
They are all slightly different. We really loved the whole trip and will go back to Poland soon because it has much more to see than what we have seen. I think the whole region is underrated as a destination and would not hesitate to suggest it as a place to go.
Great trip, thorougly enjoyed this historical part of Europe. Can't recommend it enough!
Hello! Great information, looking at doing this route next year. I was planning on travel hand luggage only with just a 30L ‘under seat’ backpack, were you able to keep this with you in your seat? I’d have a laptop in my backpack (probably without a proper case, just in a pocket) and wouldn’t really want it getting squashed in a pile of other backpacks! Thanks!
Hi, the seats are quite narrow so you'd rely on the boat not being full and being able to put on a spare seat next to you, I don't recall there being much storage under the seat in front. Might be best to be prepared to hand over your backpack and have your laptop with you.
@@Iwanttogoto Thank you! I would be fine having my backpack on my lap (as it's quite small), but I wouldn't want it to annoy passengers on either side of me!
Goodness me, a complete cure for insomnia...... Put some life into it people......even my dog fell asleep listening to this mundane drivel. You're on a par with Kier, the most boring man in Britain, Starmer....... Here's a tip, never try to become a Tour Guide.....
You do not need any public transport change to reach Main Town (Długa Street) or Old Town from airport. The bus #210 delivers you to Hucisko bus stop, then walk 300 meters to Golden Gate and Długa street. Ticket costs 4.8 PLN (1,1 €)
There is no Blue Gate in Gdańsk, particulary at Długa street end

Look great, really want to go :)
Wow, great choice of a city to visit. Our favourite from a high quality list including Krakow, Gdansk, Warsaw, Riga and Helsinki.
szkoda ze wybrali inna wycieczke kopolnia soli
Great video!Can you please tell me if you faced any difficulties with booking for the night safari in advance? Did you have to be present for the safari at the exact time ypu booked?
We climbed this amazing mountain on 8 Day Lemosho Route in February 2024! What an amazing experience.
Hakuna matata Kilimanjaro
Welcome to the very pretty city of Gdansk. With lots of history and a great World War 2 museum it makes a good place to spend a day or two.

Great tips. I summited October 2023 at 51 years old.
Wow really great video! Thank you for this
Great city to visit, we'd advise allowing at least 2 full days. If you want a great agenda for a trip to Poland then why not try Krakow, Gdansk and Warsaw. 2 interesting but different cities.
Looks great 👍
Good good
For those visiting Portsmouth this summer don't forget that you get great discounts at The Historic Dockyard with a Blue Light Card. We've updated the description with a link to the D-Day 80 link.If you are visiting for the commemorations of D-Day 80 then we'd suggest using public transport if you can or maybe park in Gosport and get the ferry over, or at The Submarine Museum.
Lovely seaside town, fabulous beach, nice relaxed vibe and lots of exciting stuff to do if you want it. What's not to like!
This time last year we were in full preparation mode. What an experience, what memories, makes me smile (and cry) every time I think about it!
We thought Fes / Fez was the most underrated place we visited, it had a great feel to it. Does anyone else get the same?
You will love this video - lots of great footage of Marrakesh including debates with a taxi driver in broken French learned at school 45 years ago! Oh la la!
Very useful hack. If ever I buy it now, is the pass still valid for the attractions if I go there this Novemeber?
From my research, you've got 2 years to use the pass from date of purchase but limited time once you've used and activated it.
2:27 it was the third-largest mosque when it first opened
Hi Couldn't agree with you more. I was The Edge last November/December on a repositioning cruise from Rome to Sydney. Yes, it has it's flaws, poor prior information re port locations, whether taxis are available in ports. Info on dress code etc. However, these are minor criticism when compared to the cruise as a whole. The biggest asset to the ship is Giuseppe and Capt Matt Their people skills are above excellent. They made the cruise great Food excellent, shows in the theatre as good as in London or New York. Cleanliness wow Design of ship. Art pieces especially pearl ship piece top floor of the atrium. Le Petit Chef. The design of the theatre. The magic carpet. The art pieces in the rooms. The chocolates on the pillows. The design and size of the bathrooms. My Edge holiday was so enjoyable I booked a cruise with Celebrity to Alaska in June and a second to Japan later this year
Welcom famile to morocco🇲🇦🇲🇦👑👑
Thank you, we are having an amazing time, now in Marrakech just completing our next video!
Not forgetting two theatres.
Welcome to morocco ❤❤❤
Did you see the President Obama orchid?
We went from Langkawi too in February with our 3 kids. Loved the longtail transfer boat in, such a fun way to be introduced to island life lol. And the immigration office on the beach, in the sand 👌Definitely will be easier with the 3 kids now that we’ve done it and the kids know to expect some waiting. Lol. We can’t wait to go back next yr 👌
Such a great video. A real insight. Super helpful.
Amazing hakuna matata
Never knew “Creamy crackered” term that require forgiving. Haha. Congrats on your summit! I will be on the same route at the end of June
👍👍👍
Where’s the 2nd video?
Just in production, should be published tomorrow.
Hi, just published it! Hope you enjoy.
Looks really great 😃
I am going on my 1st cruise ever Alaska...can you carry bottle water in main luggage..would i really need wifi ...i will be with others that did pay inadvance for it....will there be dress up dining or i saw you said wearing white i think it may be little chilli in July...but i am excited
No to water, but no need to purchase it on board. Plenty of stations with free perfectly tasty water. Wifi, personal choice, but I would book prior to the cruise just so that you could upload photos to cloud and leave room on your phone for more. Dress code, smart casual, no need for the long ball gown or suit. Just tasteful attire. Something you could dress down for day and dress up for special occasions. Unless of course, you are booking the superior suites and dressing up is your thing. Others will do the same
Great info. Thanks guys!
Our pleasure!
What a great video, the tour looks amazing
