Came to Warsaw first time for a couple of days. I booked this tour for the price and what s included. Our guide, Magda, showed good knowledge of the city and the period. Using visuals -maps, pictures- made her narration more vivid, I felt like time traveling!

A very thorough and interesting tour that even the most astute history scholars can learn something from (I have a minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies). Highly recommend taking this tour!

The tour was really informative and interesting and the information was well presented by our guide Albert. We got to know a bit context of pre-WWII Warsaw and then visited quite a few places and memorials which signify the devastating times of WWII in Warsaw. Even though Warsaw was mostly destroyed and rebuilt after WWII, I appreciated throughout the tour with how much detail old town and other buildings were re-created. Albert has told us quite a few resistance stories from WWII times which reveal Varsovians' spirit to fight and never give in to the oppresion. Overall, it's a very good tour.
Exciting tour for history lovers

The tour of Warsaw was extremely interesting and educational! The leader of the tour knew a lot to tell and was always available for questions. Unfortunately, Tripadvisor's commission is extremely high.
Engaging host and great choice of landmarks

Goska was a wonderful host. She showed us interesting spots, told us fascinating stories and also blended historic references with her own experiences and opinions which showed us how the war shapes the perspective of modern day residents of Poland. She also had cool recommendations for what tourists should try in Warsaw. I highly recommend this tour if you have 2-3 hours.
