This is a great tour! Karol was our guide and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! He is very knowledgeable and personable. He not only took us behind the scene but made a stop that was on our must see list but we couldn’t find. I highly recommend this tour, it was the highlight of our trip.

What a great tour! Marcin was an excellent guide, and truly showed us places we would have never seen without him. We did this tour on our first day in Warsaw and it was an outstanding way to learn the lay of the city while also learning about its history. Highly recommended!

Excellent trip Marcin was a fountain of knowledge on his city and history. The van was very quirky arrived on time. Unfortunately it rained but Marcin didn’t let that spoil the trip he took us as close to all the sights as possible.

From the moment of our pickup at our hotel to the drop-off at a local market, this tour was truly one of the most interesting we took while vacationing in Poland. Calling it behind the scenes is exactly the truth. My husband teaches WW2 related topics, so he was impressed to hear facts he didn’t know. Our guide was kind and thoroughly interesting. If you travel to Warsaw, this tour should be on your Itinerary! The van is super cool too!
