What To Expect
Krakowskie Przedmiescie
The main boulevard street of Warsaw, reminding you if the city's royal past. Adorned with palaces, parks and monuments, including the Presidential Palace, Bristol Hotel and St. Cross Church, where the heart of Chopin is interred.
Old Town
Old medieval core of Warsaw with its red roofs, colourful houses and the Royal Castle is the most unlikely UNESCO Heritage Site, as it was fully reconstructed following the near full destruction during WW2. The reconstruction was done so meticulously that you will have hard time telling that it's not old, and it set the example for the rest of the world.

4.00It covers most of the places of interest however we were a group of more than thirty and there was not any speakers and headphones making difficult to understand the guide. The guide was good but was speaking very fast.
Excellent Guide and Tour

5.00Aga was a fantastic guide. Lots of local experience and knowledge spanning Warsaw and Polish history, and very helpful with questions. We had some moments of heavy rain on our tour. And she did a great job getting us to cover and waiting out the heavy storm to pass.
