5.00Mariola was an excellent, exhaustive enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide and had an excellent introduction to the history and architecture and monuments and churches of Warsaw Old Town.... unfortunately the whole of the Old Town was completely destroyed (including the Palace) during He Warsaw Uprising in WW II... and the entire area has been rebuilt as it was before... we entered the St. John’s Archcathedral and saw the Royal Castle from the outside. It was a sunny afternoon as we soaked the beauty and vibrancy of the Warsaw Old Town... Highly recommended!
10/10 tour with our guide Maria!

5.00A perfect guided walk through Warsaw’s Old Town! Our guide Maria was fantastic – she took into account the group’s specific interests and tailored her storytelling accordingly. She shared the history of Warsaw and Poland, as well as insights into the present day, in a colorful and personal way. The tour was also really interactive, with just the right amount of questions to keep everyone engaged. Super interesting and engaging overall – 10/10! We also got great tips for the rest of our trip. And of course, the Old Town itself was absolutely beautiful and fascinating, made even better by the perfect weather!
Highly recommend

5.00Barbara is the best tour guide I have ever encountered. She has extensive knowledge about a variety of subjects due to her academic background at the university. She is an educator at her core. She has excellent command of the English language and gave me an “up close and personal” tour to help me understand a bit more of what it means to be Polish. It is obvious she loves sharing her insights with others. Thank you again.
Great Tour May 2025

5.00The whole experience with Ewa was very interesting and touching at the same time. Apart from the beautiful sightseeing, Ewa gave us true insight into the sad history of Warsaw and the incredible strength of its population.
