Additional Information

This private tour is designed to give you a leisurely exploration of the city at your pace, where you’re not competing with others for attention. Although our cars hark back to the communist era, they can still zip around the city with ease! This tour is ideal for those who appreciate a more personalized and unrushed experience. Your guide will begin the tour with a walk through Warsaw Old Town, chronicling its historic trade routes, rise and fall of Poland’s first republic, and the last vestiges of hope. After that, you will enjoy a scenic drive across the Vistula river to reach the Praga district, the only part of Warsaw that has maintained its pre-WWII authenticity. Here, discover the streets that filmmakers adore and watch as aged tenements are transformed into deluxe retro residences. Next, you will pass the National Stadium on your way back to the city centre where you will witness Warsaw’s post-WWII reconstruction. Take in the dominating soviet-style architecture, expansive squares, and observe the evolution that occurred after the collapse of the communist regime in 1989.

Perfect Family Tour - This tour was so enjoyable and informative. Marcin was a wonderful guide. He has so much knowledge of Warsaw and Polish history and put it in modern context for us, connecting it to current events. He's also extremely personable and welcoming. We started with a walking tour in the Old Town and then got in a retro mini bus for the rest. Marcin was also exceptionally patient with our kids, ages 5 and 8, asking them questions and not minding their interruptions. Whether you have a short or long visit to Warsaw, I highly recommend this tour as a way to learn a lot and get a good grounding before further exploration.

Karol is an amazing guide! - My son and I took this tour today, guided by Karol. Karol was very professional and full of so much information about the history of Poland and Warsaw, as well as life under Communist regime. He knew everything we asked, and was also interested in knowing more about us and our experiences. Really fascinating day.
