Thanks to our guide Charles/Karol it was a informative fun experience. The cars were great fun to drive around and the history of Warsaw was very interesting as we stopped,started and darted across the city in our tiny wonders. 😀 one and only downside was the start location on the booking.com app wasn’t accurate and lead to confusion we were told to go to the entrance of the Palace of Culture and science but in reality it was at the far end of the building outside the tourist information entrance where the cars are kept. 👍Read more

Hannah was an outstanding tour guide. Loved driving the Polish Fiat around the city and learning about the history of Warsaw. We even had a few stops and walked around, Hannah was flexible enough to accommodate locations we wanted to visit that were not planned (like the park). Very enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!
Catalin from Romania
The tour was perfect and Hanna was fun and very insightful about all the places we went to. Very good mood and nice path in the city. We used that to plan our entire visit afterwards based on what we saw. Very good value for the money. The surprise at the end of the tour was exactly what we needed 🙂
