Her knowledge and enthusiasm really brought the city to life and made the whole experience unforgettable. I will definitely book another tour with her when I’m back in Warsaw. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the city!Unforgettable Warsaw Tour with Mona

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

Die Tour war wirklich eine tolle Erfahrung. Malina hat wunderbare polnische Spezialitäten ausgesucht in schönen Restaurants, Cafés und Kneipen. Sie hat alle Fragen zu Warschau, Polen und deren Geschichte beantwortet und mit Erfahrungen aus ihrer eigenen Familie erweitert. Die Tour ist sehr zu empfehlen, danke Malina!

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.

I've been wanting to come to Warsaw to see where my grandmother came from. My grandmother lost many family members to the holocaust which I only learned as an adult through ancestry research, as my grandmother never spoke of the tragedies. Something about Mona spoke to me when I was looking to book a trip. Mona agreed to look at many documents I had with my ancestors addresses in Poland, to personalize the trip. The trip was all I had hoped for, and more. She is smart, warm, knowledgeable beyond belief about Jewish Warsaw and educated my husband and I about events we would've never otherwise understood. I was concerned that the trip would be emotional for me, and it was, but it was made to be sensitive, educational and even fun, albeit the dark subject of what happened to the Jews of Warsaw in World War II. I can't recommend Mona highly enough. Honestly, I'd enjoy spending time with her even without a tour. But, she is the perfect person for someone wanting to learn more, see what matters, enjoy the food, the culture, the people of Warsaw. An amazing experience. Mona is amazing!

We visited a few of the locations again on our own, and Mona gave us great recommendations for sights, bars, restaurants and shops to visit in our own time. Perfect tour

We booked 2 tours with Mona. The 10 tastings of Warsaw & The Kickstart Tour of Warsaw on two separate days. We were 4 senior friends (2 couples) travelling together. Mona is a great historian and a foodie and she tailored our tour to our needs. Mona was friendly, respectful, knowledgeable and went at our pace. We were very comfortable with Mona and had an engaging tour with her. Mona answered all our questions as well as shared valuable information with us. During our food tour, Mona introduced us to local Polish cuisine and included information about the food, restaurant and its history as well as the history of the area we were in.
During our kickstart tour Mona shared valuable information about the history of Warsaw/ Poland and she shared photos of pre war era of specific areas and buildings on her tablet. Unfortunately, the weather turned miserable with rain and heavy cold wind blowing during our tour. Mona escorted us into a building where we were warm and dry and she was able to continue her talk about the history of Warsaw. Mona surpassed all our expectations and we were very happy with our tours on both days. We definitely recommend Mona for tours in Warsaw. Our Introduction to Warsaw

What a day!
We were first of all very lucky with the weather, which always helps, but I think Mona would light up the day no matter what weather we would have.
Very calm, friendly and patient. Her English is very good and she presented the stories in short and interesting ways. She talked about the history, but also included what the different buildings and areas were used for now. Giving tips on the way to other places to explore later.
She never rushed us and made time for toilet breaks and sitting down.
Very happy with our tour and will absolutely recommend and have more tours with Mona.
Thank you. Educational delight

Wir haben zunächst eine Tour mit Sebastian zu den Klassikern der Innenstadt und Nachmittag durch Praga unternommen. Wir fühlten uns in der Entscheidung bestätigt, keine große Gruppentour zu buchen. Sebastian hat uns kurzweilig und gleichzeitig sachlich kompetent die Highlights erläutert und darüber hinaus das Lebensgefühl der Warschauer geschildert. Ich würde es wieder buchen.Kompetenter und empathischer Stadtführer

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

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

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.

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.

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
