Other Classic Warsaw Tours
This tour combines strolls and riding in a comfortable vehicle or public transport.
The tour provides a perfect overview of the city for those who don`t have much time in Warsaw. However, if you are staying longer – it can be like a road map to give you orientation and tips what to do later on your own.
The tour connects all important pieces – old and new Warsaw, the time of communism and the area of the Warsaw ghetto. This way, you will get a complete picture.
And there will be lots of personal stories, too. I will show you my favorite works of art, tell you what I think about communist architecture or explain why I didn`t like Warsaw first and how I changed my mind. And some fun, too. How about trying the best Polish donuts? If you like pastries, I will take you to my place!
