Great Tour of Warsaw - Aga, the tour guide, was amazing and showed tremendous knowledge of the city of Warsaw. She was very friendly and had a good sense of humour which made the tour much more enjoyable for me. The history of Warsaw was presented to us effectively during the tour, and the guide gave the group a great insight into the town. Aga took good care of our group and always has time for questions.

A great tour! - A very comprehensive tour with lots of sights to see and information about Warsaw. I'd recommend this tour 100%. But be sure to pay your guide directly in person as booking through an app only gives your guide 30% of the total fee.

Great way to get a history crash course - amazing guide, serious and at the same time makes the storytelling engaging and funny. we walked around old town a few days before that and nothing beats a good walking tour, where you see the streets, artifacts and get to know the stories you wouldn’t otherwise.

A comprehensive retrospective: an integrated analytical and personal perspective - An excellent and well-structured introduction to Warsaw and Poland’s history. In just two hours, the guide managed to clearly explain the city’s complex past, from its destruction during World War II to its remarkable reconstruction and modern identity. The explanations were engaging, easy to follow, and enriched with historical context and personal insights, which made the tour both informative and enjoyable. The guide was knowledgeable, passionate, and very attentive to questions. Highly recommended for anyone looking to quickly understand Warsaw’s history and the broader Polish background through a clear, well-delivered narrative.
