See the another side of the river! - Like the tour. Seeing warsaw in another angle. Our guide (Marks) and driver (Adam) had done great job. Marks has provided the context of the location we were; and with some interesting fact behind :)

Off the beaten track experience - We had a great experience with Maks our Warsaw host. His tour was informative and humorous. Good chance to see the darker side of Warsaw , not often seen by the average tourist. Blue retro bus was very cool. Highly recommended.

Great tour with an excellent guide - This was a fun and unique way to see Praga. Our guide was excellent! We had a typical complainer at the beginning of the tour (there seems to be one in every group) and the guide handled it so well. He made sure it didn’t affect the rest of us and even managed to get the complainer to come around by the end of the tour. Word of advice - do not be disappointed if your group is small and you take a smaller bus. You’re getting a small group tour at a great deal. The smaller group was so much better.

Fascinating excursion to Praga (Warsaw) - The guide told fascinatingly about the history of Poland (general) and also about the Praga district. I found the time during the trips very short.

The guide was great,... - The guide was great, funny and knowledgeable. The experience itself wasn’t that great because of a large group of american tourists that were being very loud and drinking on the bus. We also had to rush through our stops quite a lot, which I assume was in part because of that same group that were late.
