Did the tour as was short of time in the city but really glad I did. Saw all the main places and loads of information and photos to compare then and now and for a city destroyed by the war and years of communism it’s turned out great. Highlights royal park and the old town”

We took this tour to understand the history of Warsaw and we certainly did that. We learned about the era when Warsaw blossomed as a capital city of a free Poland and the horrors of WWII. Our guide Anna was terrific, answering questions and giving a really sensitive portrait of the cities history. It was exactly what we needed to orient ourselves for the rest of our stay. Truly excellent. Highly recommended.”

This tour gave us a great overview of Warsaw. My only wish was that we had more time in the city to visit some of the places and spend more time. I would've liked to visit the Jewish Museum and attend a Chopin Concert in Lazienki Park....maybe next time!”

Will be brief due to feedback overload. Was picked up from near hotel and driven to central point were minibus took us to three locations. The Lazienki Park, the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, the Old Town and New Townnot much newer than the Old Town!. Wife especially loved this tour because we drove between venues so could rest in between. Excellent, respectful guide, pointing out structures during the drives in addition to information provided during the lengthy walking tours. Much ground was covered. Will always remember the image of the Belvedere Palace on the famous vodka. Wy wife was enthralled to see a red squirrel in the Lazienki Park and really loved the guide's commentary. The 'Chopin benches' were great and we would have loved to have attended one of the free Chopin concerts performed in the park. The Jewish museum was closed but the photographs outside brought much emotion and stories related by the guide were heart-rendering. The Old and New Towns had much to see in a very small area. Sigismund's column, mermaids, the Royal Palace, medieval city walls including the barbican contrived to make this a very rich tapestry representing Warsaw's historical past. Simply mind blowing.”
