Uncover the fantastic stories of the capital of a once great and powerful nation as we take in all the must-see sites (and a few extra hidden gems for good measure).

Historic Old Town

5.00I had the pleasure of taking two tours with Warsaw Undiscovered this week, and both were outstanding experiences. On Monday, I joined Life Behind the Iron Curtain led by Oliwia, and it was so fascinating and well presented that I immediately signed up for their Historic Heart of Warsaw tour on Wednesday with Agnieszka. Both guides were exceptional. Oliwia and Agnieszka are natural storytellers who know how to bring history to life with insight, warmth, and humor. They didn’t just recite facts; they wove together stories that satisfied my academic curiosity while immersing me in the depth of Polish culture and heritage. I especially appreciated how each tour balanced historical detail with cultural context, making the past feel vivid and relevant. Between Oliwia’s deep dive into Poland’s Iron Curtain years and Agnieszka’s intimate portrayal of Warsaw’s historic center, I felt like I saw two very different but equally important sides of the city. Warsaw Undiscovered truly lives up to its name—these tours go beyond surface-level sightseeing and deliver experiences that are both intellectually engaging and incredibly enjoyable. I came away with a much deeper appreciation for Warsaw, and I would wholeheartedly recommend these tours to anyone visiting the city.

5.00Our guide, Olivia, spoke fluent English (raised in U.S.) and provided a fact filled and fascinating tour of the old town area of Warsaw. It was set at a comfortable pace, yet covered a good amount of the area. I would definitely look to book another tour with her when we return to Poland!
Highly recommended!

5.00Agnieszka gave us a wonderful tour of the Youngest Old Town in Europe. All the reading in the world can’t make you understand what this city/country/people went through as they withstood Nazis, bombardments, and communism until you see and feel it. Really special. Highly recommend. I wish I had had time to take all the tours these wonderful ladies offered. Great job!
Great tour with an amazing tour guide
