What you can expect
Join me for an unexpected tour and see a variety of architectural styles in Warsaw. So, if you are like me and love architecture and picture perfect spots, this is the perfect Warsaw experience for you.
For this tour, I have chosen places I really like and visit with my friends very often. All of them relate to my life in the capital of Poland, which has now become a fashionable, green, and citizens' friendly metropolis. I truly enjoy living here and will be happy to share my favorite spots with you, from the Communist era, when I was born to the business zone, where art and design accompany super modern buildings, and some others hidden and pretty places on the way.
Let's go to the Powiśle district - a fashionable area with industrial buildings and fancy cafes. A nice walk will also take us to the Warsaw University Library with a fantastic rooftop garden as well as to a very quiet picturesque area in Old Town.
Do like the locals do and catch the metro to make your way to the Jewish quarter, where history meets with the super modern present. On our way we will also stop in "the City" - Wola district, possessed by start-ups and white collars. Here beats the heart (literally!) of business Warsaw.
If you are interested in another type of architecture in Warsaw, just let me know, and I'll master a tailor-made tour for you! Hope to see you soon!

I had a fabulous afternoon exploring Warsaw with Mona. She showed me a side of Warsaw that "only a local" would know and gave a running historical commentary of the city. I loved her choice of public art to show off and a very cool place to finish up the tour with a glass of Prosecco! Thank you Mona. Wonderful afternoon in Warsaw with a Pro!

We had an amazing tour with Mona! She took us to some places that we would never find ourselves. She knows a lot about the culture and history of Warsaw. It was just great to walk around the city with her to see different aspects of Warsaw. We really enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see Warsaw in a local way.Great tour with Mona

Mona showed us a part of Warsaw outside of the typical tourism routes. Thanks to her we discovered some recently renovated neighborhoods, having even time to stop in a really nice bakery. Mona was very helpful with our questions and our times. We are really happy to have had you as a guide and highly recommend it to all those interested in learning more about WarsawWarsaw different

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!

Mona was an excellent host. The food choices were a good balance and there was plenty of it! We got to see a lot of sights and learn about the history of Warsaw - Mona was very knowledgeable and gave us great insights. 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

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

Once again, Mona went above and beyond! She took us around the city and gave us a history of the Jewish community in Warsaw. She took us to sites, showed us pictures and told us many stories full of fascinating and important facts. And although it is a heavy topic, Mona’s tour was full of grace and covered many stories of courage. Thank you Mona!A Fascinating and Important Tour

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!!!

Spending time with Mona was like spending time with a long lost friend. She knew so much about the food as well as history of Warsaw. The time went by so fast and her food choices were superb. Please make sure you arrive hungry. You will get a great walking tour with a lot of hidden history as well as great hidden gems of local food. Did I say the food was out of this world. We walked and ate. Walked and ate. You will leave full and satisfied. Dont miss this tour.

Unsere spezifizierte Tour mit Mona war ein Highlight in unseren Polen-Ferien. Sie hat uns nebst den Sehenswürdigkeiten viel spnnendes erzählt. Wir haben auch 3 Tasting Stopps in typisch polnischen Lokalitäten (keine Touri Restaurants) eingebaut und diese waren auch fantastisch. Wir würden jederzeit sofort wieder mit Mona eine Tour buchen. Sie ist eine charmante, freundlich und sehr hilfsbereite Person.Super Local Guide Mona

I heard about With Locals on the Internet. I reached out to Mona and it was one of the best things we could have done. Mona customized a day tour of Warsaw based on what we asked. We had the best time with Mona. Not only is she very knowledgeable about Warsaw you can tell she loves what she does. I would highly recommend Mona for any of your tour needs. When I come back I certainly will contact her again.

Mona hat uns über drei Stunden kenntnisreich und interessant durch Warschau geführt. Dank ihrer Hilfe haben wir Geschichte und Gegenwart des Landes und der Stadt besser verstanden. Sie gab uns Tipps für den Abend und den nächsten Tag, das hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Mona spricht ausgezeichnet Deutsch und verfügt über breite und tiefe Bildung, das hat den Stadtspaziergang zu einem wirklichen Vergnügen gemacht! Unbedingt empfehlenswert!

We had a wonderful tour with Mona through the city center of Warsaw. Mona was so friendly and knew everything about her home city. She told us funfacts about Warsaw as well as historical facts. The food choice was amazing and helped us to get to know the polish kitchen. As my girlfriend is vegetarian, Mona chose in advance only vegetarian option, thabk you for that! Also very nice was that she showed us only spots which were not in the normal touristic area, so that we really could see Warsaw from its propper side. Time ran by so fast, it was a great pleasure meeting you, Mona! Great food tour

Wir haben die Führung zu zweit genossen (mein Sohn 19 und ich) und es war nie langweilig.
Es war grandios. Kommunikation vorab hat tadellos geklappt, dann pünktliches Treffen und los ging es.
Wir haben in 3,5 Stunden (trotzdem entspannt) alles gesehen, was uns für den ersten Tag eines Kurztrips nach Warschau interessiert hat. Einen super Ein- und Überblick, mit netten Anekdoten, über diese Stadt, die man toll erlaufen kann. Zeit für ein Käffchen war auch. Mona ist echt eine super Reiseführerin und ihr Deutsch fantastisch. Kann man nur jedem empfehlen, der nach Warschau kommt:
