4.00Nice tour of the old city, bumpy ride is actually fun. The guide Maks told lot of stories about the places we visited. For 2 .5 hour tour the places covered are ok. The guide should have given us additional 2 mins to take some pictures. Some paintings were nice but no time to take pics.
Great family activity :)

5.00First of all, i would like to thank you to Max, our great tour guide with a amazing knowledge of the stories of the war and history. I had the trip with 2 of my friends. What an amazing feeling when we were sitting in the old retro VW that carries a lot of Warsaw stories and listening to Max telling us all about the Warsaw stories. We loved and enjoy the trip with the Retro WW so much. Max showed us a lot of nice places to be experienced too. We were enjoying the amazing and adventerueous trip at the moment. Th ending stop was nice, a choclate factory ;).

5.00It was very cold in November so I wanted a tour where I could see the city but also not freeze. This was the perfect combination where we left the bus 3 times for some quick excursions but got to see it all. The English tour took a smaller retro bus behind the other big bus pictured in the ad. It gave me some great history and was exactly what I was looking for as a solo traveling woman.
