Well worth 2 hours of your time. - Informative tour and an excellent guide. You get to hear a mix of information about the history of Warsaw. It's a free walking tour, but it's well worth providing the guide with a decent tip. Avoid trying to book on Tripadvisor or Viator as they will charge you to go on the tour.

A most enjoyable experience - I learned a lot from our tour guide “Jack”. He guided us through the streets of Old Town providing the history of the city answering all the questions from our group. He was extremely knowledgeable and had a great humor about him.

Great overview of the city! - This was a great tour! Our guide was funny and very knowledgeable. He gave us a lot of information about Polish history and the city of Warsaw without overwhelmingly us. Definitely recommend!

Extremely knowledgeable guide - Our guide was excellent! I've gone on two tours with "Jack." He is extremely knowledgeable with a dry, yet very witty delivery! His passion for Polish culture and history in general is authentic and genuine.

Pleasantly surprised - We did it with Walkative, it was very interesting, old showed us all the old part of Warsaw, explaining extensively details and interesting things. The visit lasted about two and a half hours and the truth is that it is worthwhile for later on your own to make a second route with the most interesting sites.

Fail - I booked and paid for this tour and was sent an email with a Google maps link indicating where to meet. Unfortunately the location on the link was different to the actual meeting place so despite going to the place they told me to I missed the tour. I contacted the tour operator at the time and also in subsequent days to explain what happened. Disappointingly they chose not to provide a refund so I can’t provide a positive recommendation.
