Great fun on a bouncy and eye catching communist era bus! - Really fun tour of a lesser known part of Warsaw. The bus was a star in its own right! The bounciness of the ‘suspension’ system had us laughing the whole time! And seeing this part of Warsaw was very interesting. Our guide was excellent and we would happily recommend this tour

Our English speaking tour... - Our English speaking tour was great fun thanks to the knowledge, experience and humour of our guide Marcin. We got lots of facts and amusing personal anecdotes about life under the iron curtain whilst driving through Warsaw, as well as during the stopping points of the tour. Highly recommended by our group of four from London. Thanks Marcin!

Great experience! - Must do tour if you are into history! Oliwia knew her stuff and had a great sense of humor. I liked that she had photos of how places looked in the past. Praga is bohemian and cool. We went back in the evening.

Exceptionally enjoyable and humorous time with Konrad - Konrad was a great guide! Konrad’s depth of knowledge, combined with his witty sense of humor, made the tour truly exceptional. His insights into Warsaw’s history were impressive, and he effortlessly wove together facts, anecdotes, and lesser-known tidbits. Whether you’re a history buff or simply curious about this remarkable city, Konrad’s passion and expertise will leave you with a newfound appreciation for Warsaw’s past and present. Such a beautiful city with a long, rich history. We really enjoyed our time.
