This tour was a great introduction to Warsaw on our first full day in the city. We covered lots of ground so had a good idea what to come back to later and spend more time on. Marcin was hugely knowledgeable and one of the highlights was him pointing out small features we otherwise would have walked past. I would definitely recommend this walking tour to anyone coming to the city and wanting to explore. Great introduction to Warsaw!

Our tour was like strolling around the city with a great friend. Malina knows lots about the city and we tried to absorb as much as possible with little sleep and incredibly jet lagged. We booked the tour the day we arrived from Seattle, in part to keep us awake and fight through our jet lag until evening. It is a perfect tour for a geographical and historical overview of the town. Melina pointed out the prime spots and also the little gems like the best perogis and donuts in the city. It was perfect to get your bearings down and explore later on your own hitting up the suggested spots for dining and shopping. Amazing that her grandfather fought in WWII and her family history goes far back. Tomb of Unknown soldier very interesting. Great overview

Marcin was a fab guide during our time in Warsaw. You can feel his passion about his city and he is extremely knowledgeable. I was short on time in the city and moving around with my 7 year old son, so unfortunately didn’t have time for too much detail. Marcin gave us some great highlights and some off the beaten track locations and information. Thanks for introducing us to your city 😁Great insight to Warsaw

"Last spring we spent five days in Warsaw - capital city of Poland - and visited many interesting places. Marcin is an amazing guide and our tour was really fantastic - an incredible journey in time and space that Marcin took us through. With my friend we are both passionate about history and Marcin's excellent knowledge of Warsaw's history and culture. It was not the first time I had visited the city but doing it with the right guide changes everything. I am looking forward to come back to Warsaw, hoping Marcin would still be available, he is definetly a guide to recommend. "Amazing tour with Marcin in Warsaw

Sebastian is an outstanding tour guide. His deep knowledge of Warsaw’s history, from its medieval roots to WWII and post-war reconstruction, made the walking tour incredibly engaging and meaningful. He brought the city’s past to life with passion, clarity, and moving stories. Professional, articulate, and attentive—this tour was the highlight of my visit. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Warsaw.An Unforgettable Tour with Sebastian

Our guide, Marcin, showed up sick. He was coughing, sweating, and was losing his voice. He should have passed the tour off to someone else. The actual tour took us by some interesting places,but he didn't do much talking because of his voice. He's a nice guy, but I would not recommend him. This is the first and last time I'll just tours with locals. Not worth the money

Wir hatten in Mona eine tolle Guide, die uns quer durch das Zentrum von Warschau an einige typische und traditionsreiche Orte führte. Neben vielen Antworten auf unsere Fragen, ein bisschen Plauderei und natürlich verschiedenen Speisen und Getränke, angefangen von herzhaften Piroggen über Rote Beete-Suppe, gefüllte Krapfen, jüdisches Gebäck, bis hin zu Wodka-Shots am Ende war alles dabei. Wir können die Tour und natürlich Mona nur wärmstens empfehlen. Wir haben Warschau genossen.
