“Jakub was amazing! We loved everything. Super informative, must do if you are in Warszawa!”
Warsaw Old Town tour from Sigismund's Column to Royal Castle, Mermaid Market Square, and WWII memorials. Small groups, 2 hours.
“Anthony was exceptional. We understood Warsaw in 2 hours - got context and an introductory understanding of its history, all thanks to him and his zeal.”
Old Town Warsaw half-day Polish food walking tour with guide, 10+ tastings, vodka shots, and a recipe booklet. English tour.
“The guide was not helpful at all. He was constantly walking about 10m ahead of the group, didn’t offer any notable facts or history about the food, and replied with short answers. I would recommend they attend another food tour within the city to see what the vibe should be like on these things. It was honestly a quite bizarre experience.”
Train from Warsaw to Krakow, guided Auschwitz-Birkenau tour with skip-the-line tickets, then free time to explore Krakow’s Old Town.
“The driver was excellent, so was tge Auschwitz guide. However, the activity provider could have been more accomodative. There was no reason for a 523 AM train and a return by 1115 PM....EACH one of the co travellers felt the same.. It could easily have been done by the 730 AM train with a return by 830 PM. The activity provider was cutting corners and costs....they must provide this flexibility to those who so desire. Also tickets are in Polish...a interpretation of the headings is necessary. I got it finally but after few up and down mails”
Small-group Warsaw history tour with hotel pickup, Old Town and Royal Route highlights, and meaningful WWII memorial stops in about 3 hours.
“A nice highlight of history and sites, and a tour of the city to determine where you want to focus during your time. Recommend you do this day one of your trip for those reasons.”

Guided Treblinka camp trip from Warsaw with hotel pickup, skip-the-line entry, and an English-speaking guide for a 6-hour visit.
“i dont normally write reviews, but we had a great driver and the guide is prolific. a brilliant old man. as a history student i particularly enjoyed meeting up for a group briefing where he went through maps, memoirs, etc. reminds me of a seminar class in a way. also the fact that he was born in 1941 and seen some of those things himself!! truly a memorable experience. i have always wanted to visit treblinka (having done a research seminar on it). we went there in a small group of 7 (8 including the guide). there is nothing left of treblinka itself, aside from memorial works and reconstructed areas…”
Skip-the-line Royal Castle guided tour in Warsaw, with optional Old Town walk, small groups, and guides in multiple languages.
“Pani Ewa jest przewodnikiem o ogromnej wiedzy. Jej zaangażowanie podczas wycieczki zrobiło na nas duże wrażenie. Jednocześnie nie stwarzała ona dystansu między oprowadzającym a uczestnikami. Wraz z partnerką czuliśmy się jakbyśmy mieli tak wspaniałą erudytkę w rodzinie! Serdecznie dziękujemy i pozdrawiamy, Kasia i Jacek”

“Podobała nam mała grupa zwiedzających, niestety przewodnik i tak mówił tak cicho ,że nawet w małej grupie nie było słychać co mówi, większość sal zamknięta dla turystów lub w remoncie, wycieczka bardzo okrojona w stosunku do ceny, widok z tarasu super, przewodnik uprzejmy lecz uważamy, że za mało sie dzisiaj dowiedzieliśmy. oceniamy na mocne 3.”
Guided Auschwitz-Birkenau day trip from Warsaw with a museum ticket, English guide, and Krakow time. Early start, long day.
“Harrowing experience. Long journey with an excellent driver, Jared. Everybody should visit to truly understand the terrible atrocities that were committed. The trip was good value for money.”
A full-day Auschwitz-Birkenau tour from Warsaw with a fast train to Krakow, guided visits to both memorials, and door to door transport.
“The trip was brilliant and it was for the most part well organised used. The booking information says that the trains are Fast Trains. And the train out in the morning was but it was a very different train on the way home and as such the return trip was close to 4hours long. Which was a lot after being on the road since 5.30am and not getting home until after midnight. All of the other aspects were excellent.”
Segway through Warsaw’s Praga, Skaryszewski Park, Soho Factory, and Koneser Vodka Factory on a 2-hour guided tour with training, helmet, and rain gear.
“Very nice and interesting. Three hours would have allowed a longer visit and experience. Renata, the guide, very professional and helpful!”
