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 :)

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.

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, 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.
