Terrible puns
Included at no extra charge

Not a tour company.
Just me.

Hand-picked routes, small group, enough context to make the stones talk. Designed for people who'd rather skip the bus coach.

01
Private & flexible
One group, one guide, one van. Start late, detour often, stop wherever the light is good.
02
Three languages
English by default, Polish and Russian on demand. No brochure clichés in any of them.
03
Local knowledge
I live 15 minutes from the closest castle. The best stories never make it to Wikipedia.

Fair, flat pricing
From 700 PLN per group — not per person. Fuel paid at the pump separately.
05
Pickup anywhere
Wrocław, Prague, Jelenia Góra — or your hotel door if it makes sense.

No rush, no script
Tours run on curiosity, not timetables. We leave when we're done.

Pick a day. I'll drive.

Vasily, your guide for 100 castles tours in Lower Silesia

I'm Vasily.
I live near a lot of castles.

Always the foreigner, always between borders — the borderlands are my natural habitat. I moved to Jelenia Góra for the mountains and stayed for the medieval ruins no one tells you about. Seven years later, I'm still here and still counting.

I came as an expat: learned Polish from scratch, navigated the bureaucracy, and figured out how modern Poland actually works. I speak English, Polish and Russian — and yes, I left my magic wand in my other medieval tunic.

More than castles.
An insider's Poland.

I moved to Poland as a foreigner before I ever started showing it to others. Learned Polish from scratch. Navigated the residency system, Karta Polaka, the full bureaucratic maze. Seven years in, I know this country the way only someone who actually lives here can.

If you're planning a trip, tracing Polish roots, or seriously thinking about a move — I'm happy to talk. No extra charge for honest answers.

🗣️
Language & culture
Learned Polish as an adult expat. Know the culture from the inside, not a guidebook.
📄
Karta Polaka & residency
Gone through the permit process personally. Can walk you through what to expect.
🇵🇱
Modern Poland, honestly
Healthcare, housing, daily life — the real version, not the tourist version.

American, Canadian, or Australian with Polish roots? I've been asked every question — ask yours.

One hundred castles.
Five found.

I'm systematically walking to every castle, ruin, and fortified manor within reach of Jelenia Góra. Each find gets a page, a photo, a story — and a pin on the map.
