Private Tour
Best of Warsaw - private tour by retro minibus with hotel pickup
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
This private tour is designed as an introduction to Warsaw, ideal for those who want to understand the city rather than just see it. Instead of rushing through highlights with a large group, you explore at a relaxed pace, combining walking with scenic drives that allow you to experience very different parts of the city in a short time.
Traveling by a vintage Żuk minibus adds a distinctive character to the tour. It’s not just transportation, but part of the story - connecting Warsaw’s past with the present while making it easy to reach districts that are often skipped on standard tours. The route balances must-see landmarks like the Old Town with less touristy areas such as Praga.
Led by a knowledgeable local guide, the tour focuses on context, everyday life, and historical transitions—from beginnings, through wartime destruction and communist reconstruction, to modern Warsaw. The private format allows for flexibility, questions, and a personal experience tailored to your interests.

Royal Castle in Warsaw - Museum
Hear the story of the Royal Castle, once the official residence of Polish monarchs. Burned and looted during the Nazi invasion in 1939 and almost completely destroyed after the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, it was carefully reconstructed in the postwar years as a symbol of national resilience.

5.00Travelling in the vintage truck was a definite highlight, and with us being the only people on the tour, it felt like a very personalized tour! The tour guide was fantastic, and very chatty giving his own personal experiences! Had a great day touring around Warsaw.
A must do tour.

5.00This was a great introduction to Warsaw with Conrad who explained in detail the historical background to the city with specific references to WWII. He took us to the site of the Jewish ghetto and gave us a detailed explanation of what happened there during WWII. We went back ourselves to visit the POLIN Museum of the history of Polish Jews which was an excellent experience which we would recommend highly.
Highly recommend!

5.00We only had one day in Warsaw and were looking for a driving tour to see as much a possible. Konrad met us at our hotel and from there we headed to the retro mini bus. It was snowy and very cold so the heated bus was great. Konrad was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great trip with good info and character.
