I really enjoyed this private tour of Warsaw in a cute 1983 bright yellow Fiat. It was fun to see people looking at the car as we drove around. My guide, Karol, had a great knowledge of all periods of history of the city. I especially liked seeing the few bits of the Jewish area of the city, not much left after all the bombings, so it was nice to have them pointed out. I only had a few hours to spend in Warsaw, so really appreciated being able to get around to see main areas of interest with this tour.Read more

There is a need to change the instructions on how to meet with the guide. My vehicle was a taxi when I was looking for a private car. Second the meeting with the guide should be at a building not a car park and for them to have something with my name on it to identify each other. We wasted 15 minutes stood next to each other before realising we should have started the tour together.

This was an amazing tour and I’m so glad I took it. This is a great way to get to know the history of the city surrounding you and even have a conversation with someone who knows details. I only had a short weekend in Warsaw and this was perfect to cover a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. I highly recommend doing this. I would also like to thank and highly recommend my guide, Hania. Hania was so knowledgeable and so personable in the way she presented things that I had to ask her if she was a teacher. She took the time to engage me in conversation and learn some of my little interest. Then she took that and added little tidbits of knowledge that she knew I would enjoy knowing. She would talk about several little details that she knew I would find interesting and not just the basic tour guide “here’s what you’re looking at” type of things. Hania has a masked a lot of knowledge and you can tell she is very proud to share all the history that she knows. If the company allows it, I would suggest that when booking your tour you request Hania. I promise you you won’t regret it and you will definitely enjoy the conversation.Read more

We loved this tour in Warsaw. Although we had car trouble – and had to switch vehicles – it did not detract from the day. It just meant we got to ride in more that one retro vehicle!! We were in Warsaw with friends. They wanted to do the usual –> old town, cathedrals etc. We wanted something different. We saw older sections of the city, including parts of what was the Warsaw Ghetto. Our guide was knowledgeable – able to describe what life had been like. We got to see some of the amazing street art in the Praga district – definitely not on the usual tours. Not the tour for everyone – but perfect for us!!Read more
