Marcin is an amazing tour guide who made my visit to Warsaw truly enjoyable. He took me to all the must-see landmarks, but what really stood out were the hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path spots he introduced me to — places I never would’ve found on my own.
His deep knowledge of Polish history and politics, as well as his passion for music, made my conversations with him both insightful and engaging. He is also a great photographer — his love for the camera made him my very own photographer.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, passionate, and knowledgeable guide who can show you both the highlights and the hidden treasures of Warsaw, I can’t recommend Marcin highly enough!An Amazing Afternoon Tour with Marcin

Malina was brilliant and a lot of fun. There were three of us in Warsaw for work and none of us had been in Poland before. Malina was able to educate us on the history of the city while eating tasty food and having some good laughs. I would do it all over again. Great tour of Warsaw

Marcin is a highly-cultured and well-informed individual. We spent 3h together in Central Warsaw, visiting historical and cultural sites, and just wandering around, chatting.
If you are seeking a thoughtful guide with excellent knowlege and fluent English, I can highly recommend Marcin!

It was a great experimente. Mona was a wonderful and lovely guide. She respeced the needs of our wide-age-gap group with a child and a greatgrandmother. We tried tasty snaks from streetfoodbars and Restaurants and she told us a lot about living in Warșawa and the newer history. We visited the castle and learned a lot about the medivalhistory in the morning, so I think she adjusted her guidance that way.A knowledgeable and fun tour

The time of the tour passed very quickly, with every step filled with information. Sebastian was a brilliant tour guide, sharing his knowledge of the city of Warsaw with us in a manner that made it easy to understand and remember. We had previously walked through some of the locations, but was wonderful to have the history explained to enable us to understand what we were seeing. Sebastian opened doors to places that we would not have visited without a local, including a local bar with local cherry liqueur. We now have a much better understanding of the political history of Poland and Warsaw. And an understanding of why Cognac is part of the history of Warsaw. But to find out you will have to take a tour with Sebastian. Fantastic Introduction to Warsaw

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!

Sebastian's depth of knowledge is profound as it is eclectic and diverse. If four hours accompanying two correspondents on their journey through recent Varsovian, Polish and European history and the consequences for contemporary Warsaw and Poland presented a challenge, Sebastian more than met it, and with aplomb. We haven't been accompanied by a better guide in our extensive travels; he is quite brilliant. But beyond all that, Sebastian is a charming, empathetic man. He commands a rare combination of gifts...Two foreign correspondents

Sebastian zeigte meinen beiden Söhnen und mir den wunderschönen Lazienkowski Park und die Altstadt. Er erzählte uns auf eine interessante Weise die Geschichte und ging auf unsere Fragen ein. Es war, als würde uns ein guter Freund seine Stadt zeigen. Der Blick vom Glockenturm der Sankt Annen Kirche am Ende unserer Tour war ein echtes Highlight. Vielen Dank, lieber Sebastian.Warschau, an einem sonnigen Wintertag

Sebastian was perfect for the 4 hours we had before business started. He has a true love of Warsaw, the culture, history, and does an amazing job sharing it. We would have liked to spend more time exploring his city. My Jewish heritage is more valuable than ever after our visit to Warsaw.
We will be back sooner than later and will make sure to continue our journey through the past and learn more about the present with Sebastian as our "person". We are forever changed.
You have not seen the last of us! Thank you for your time. We absolutely were amazed. We have shared your knowledge with our friends and business colleagues. Be well and hope

Best of the best. Very passionate about his city and very knowledgeable. He took us to areas and little alleys that only a native that loved to wander would know about. He geared the info and pace (we are fast walkers) to our pace. There was never any hesitation as to where to go or what to see next. He gave us options whether to be chauffeured around or to ride public transit along with the pros and cons of each. One of the best tours I've ever been on. 100% recommend!One of the best tours I've ever been on

We were in Warsaw for a work trip and wanted to see the city from a different perspective - Malina made that happen! You can tell how much she loves and knows Warsaw. She showed us some amazing spots we would’ve never found on our own, and the food we tried was both delicious and unique. It was such a great experience. I’d absolutely recommend her!Really great experience

This "10 Tastings of Warsaw" tour was excellent. Our guide, Malina, was fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable about both the city's rich history and the food and drink.
We had both food and drink we wouldn't normally have experienced, and learnt about details of the history of Warsaw from a very knowledgeable local. At each stop, Malina introduced us to a number of Polish dish's and drinks, with everything being very tasty.
Malina made the whole experience feel personal and engaging. She was friendly, answered all our questions with enthusiasm, and even shared recommendations for other things to see and do in Warsaw.
If you're looking for a way to truly experience Warsaw's culture and flavours, I highly recommend this tour! It's a perfect way to get off the beaten path, discover hidden gems, and indulge in some unforgettable Polish cuisine.Excellent Tour

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening with Malina on the 10 Tastings of Warsaw tour. She took us places we never would have found and introduced us to some tasty local favorites along with the staples, like the best perogies we've ever tasted. In addition to the tastings, Malina was able to share some of her personal ties to the history of Warsaw that added depth you don't get from a tour book. Highly recommend this tour. Excellent evening with Malina

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

I met Marcin at the Royal Garden - what a beautiful and wonderful location to start getting to know a bit about this amazing city, since it was my first time ever in Warsaw; Marcin has a great knowledge of history and was willing to show me whatever it was possible during our 3 hours; got to visit the remnants of the Ghetto Wall, Culture Palace, Royal Tour and also a bit of Old Town - i just wish we had more time for the old Town.
Besides that, he's a great photographer and was so nice to take some very nice pictures and have them sent to me! That was definitely a plus! Thank you Marcin for a great experience!Wonderful Warsaw!

Prior to my arrival in Warsaw I had email discussions with Mona about what my desires were in learning the most about Warsaw and how Mona would be able to help. Based on where we were staying Mona created an itinerary using our hotel as the starting point. She was extremely punctual (10 minutes early) and started the tour using our hotel's history as the beginning of the tour. She then brought us to all of the most wonderful sights of Warsaw and concluded with the history and current trends of Warsaw. Her tour gave us EXACTLY what we had asked for. I HIGHLY recommend Mona to anyone and everyone that wants to be escorted through the city of Warsaw with an extremely professional, friendly, highly educated, and very proud Warsovian.MONA IS THE BEST!!!

Warsaw and its history truly came alive during our tour because Malina’s family has lived here for so long and so many of her relatives played such interesting roles in the life of the city. She showed us some hidden gems that were meaningful to her and that’s just the kind of personal touch you’re looking ina tour with a local. Highly recommended This is why you should tour with a local
