A Warsaw sights tour well worth taking! - My guide had an abundance of historical information and knowledge, which was a bonus to an already exciting tour of Warsaw's Old Town, WW2 and communist historical sights. The retro vehicle was unique and added fun to the day!

Wonderful way to pass a layover - Lukas was a considerate and knowledgeable tour guide. He has a real gift for bringing the history of Warsaw to life. As we rode around in the bus, many people stopped to wave at us and it made for a friendly tour.

Best way to spend a layover - Mario was super knowledgeable about Warsaw and we had a very lovely time exploring the town on our layover. He’s easy to talk to, and very accommodating. He helped us find a delicious authentic and affordable Polish restaurant to snack at as well! He is humble and smart, definitely book with Mario!

Memorable experience - It was the third time we chose Warsaw Behind the Scenes to guide our large group of young students from Portugal through the city (50 person this year!). Every year it is a wonderful experience! Students are having lot of fun in the classic van “cucumber” while sightseeing, learning about communist regime and eating traditional doughnuts. The organisation is very professional, our tour is tailored exactly to our needs and the guide is outstanding. We appreciate punctuality, smooth organisation and nice people we are working with. We recommend Warsaw Behind Scenes for the exceptional ideas of Warsaw visits which are so different from traditional tourist’s tours.

A must in Warsawa - It was a really unique and nice experience. We arrived in a cloudy and cold day and couldn't have enjoyed our first day if it wasn't for the activity and the great histories Mark explains. You get perfectly Warsaw’s history and development over the years. Totally worth it!! Thank’s Mark!! Marisa
