Great tour, excellent tour guide - This was an excellent walking tour. Max was an engaging and informative tour guide. He shared interesting facts and had a balanced perspective. The places we visited were relevant and would not have been places we would have gone on our own. There is a lot of walking so participants should be quite mobile. I highly recommend this tour!

Eye opening, extremely informative and comfortable tour. - Our tour guide was Peter, he was extremely knowledgeable and easily approachable. The tour took approximately 2 and a half hours with a fairly large group, however Peter was clear to hear and understand throughout the tour. It was extremely interesting and eye opening showing the affects that World War 2 had on Warsaw and its people. I would highly recommend this tour company and will look into doing more tours with them myself in the future.

If you're in Warsaw, this tour is a must! - We had a great time with Goska- she was an experienced guide. She educated us about some of the darkest times of the city with poise and humanity, sprinkled with personal stories. We did 2 tours with her, and both were wonderful and thanks to her, we now know and appreciate the city better :)

WW2 insights of devastation of Warsaw - Comprehensive insight of the history of Poland, & particularly Warsaw, of the events leading up to WW2, the occupation & resistance.
