Great to beat the cold - It was very cold in November so I wanted a tour where I could see the city but also not freeze. This was the perfect combination where we left the bus 3 times for some quick excursions but got to see it all. The English tour took a smaller retro bus behind the other big bus pictured in the ad. It gave me some great history and was exactly what I was looking for as a solo traveling woman.

Interesting architecture - Although it was raining and seeing out the old bus windows meant constantly wiping them down the tour guide made up for it in humour. The dark side of Warsaw was interesting seeing the old almost derelict buildings next to the newly built smart modern ones. The chocolate drink was to die for. The information about how and why Praga is how it is was good. The murals also interesting.
