Take this tour! It’s worth every minute. - Loved the tour of historic Warsaw with our guide Olivia. She was very funny and knowledgeable. Olivia made the tour very relatable, with lots anecdotes and facts about the city mixed with a hefty dose of dry humor.

Educational & Entertaining walking tour of Warsaw’s Old Town - Time and money well spent- our guide was super knowledgeable about the history and nuances of Poland and Warsaw. Learned so much about the history and politics of the country through the places and memorials we passed during our tour. I would highly recommend to any visitors to Warsaw.

Learnt so much and found it fun - This was a whistle stop tour through a lot of history, delivered with some dry wit and expert storytelling. Thoroughly enjoyable and engaging whilst covering the key facts. Great tour!

Do this tour! Really good - Really informative tour - would recommend. It's a great way to get a potted history of the old town. Anna was great and really funny it was sure cold but we kept moving with enough stops to take in the important historical information.

Interesting insight into the history of Old Warsaw - Nice way to start the year. The guide, Lukasz was very entertaining. He was honest about how historian’s don’t have an accurate account of the history. Wish I had more time to spend in Warsaw as would have done another walk with Lukasz

Cities to visit - The prettiest part of Warsaw is definitely the old one where there is the Castle Square where they placed a giant Christmas tree, around there are various Christmas markets, the neighboring streets have very characteristic places to taste...the local food After a walk on the small market square, we went to see one of the smallest houses in the world, there is very little left of the ghetto, a visit is worth the Lazienki Park, it is worth taking a taxi or Uber, it is not near the city center. Not to be missed during the Christmas holidays the illuminations that are exhibited in the Garden of the Wilanow Palace, beautiful illuminations, must see!
