Sebastian was very kind and knowledgeable of the history of Warsaw. My girlfriend and I enjoyed listening to him, he peppered him with many questions all of which he had answers for. We appreciated his professionalism and knowledge and fully recommend him to anyone interested in learning about Warsaw — a city that has a complex history. Great and knowledgeable Tour of Warsaw

Mona was a fantastic guide! She created a beautiful tour suitable for two adults and an 18 month old *wild* toddler. She shared a mix of history, culture, playgrounds, AMAZING food recommendations, had time for all of our questions, and somehow we still ended right on time. She was delightful and her tour was a perfect intro to Warsaw. A perfectly tailored tour

Wir hatten mit 10 Personen eine eigene Führung mit Mona. Die Treffpunktbeschreibung war sehr gut, wir konnten pünktlich starten. Mona hat uns sehr viel über Warschau erzählt und gezeigt. Ihr Deutsch war sehr gut zu verstehen, so dass wir viel mitgenommen haben. Mona hat uns auch schon im Vorwege viele nützlich Tipps zu Restaurants und Bars per Mail geschickt, sodass wir rechtzeitig vorab schon Plätze in Restaurants reservieren konnten. Am besten war der Tipp mit PiwPaw BeerHeaven.Mit Mona durch Warschau

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

Mona didnt just show us the taste of Polish foods but shared her cultural experience with us. We learned more than just the foods local people served their family but the history and the origin of these foods like what her grant parents grew on their farm. She took us on the tram and subway and told us they were free for seniors like us. We took advantage of this experience and went around Warsaw easily. Thank you Mona. Great tasting experience in Warsaw
