Jacob is the best! Explains perfectly what happened during the war and uprising. The car is great too. Lovely to drive. Recommendation 100%
Interesting communist history, no hurry and not too short. Hidden germs that you would normally just walk past without noticing.
We had a great time doing the Communism Self Drive tour with Alek! He's a really entertaining and informative guide and driving the little Fiat around Warsaw was such fun. Thoroughly recommended!
Would highly recommend this Tour! Jacob was our Guide and he was absolutely amazing! Full off knowledge and definitely made the experience enjoyable.
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Warsaw. Highly recommend. Jacob was very nice, knowledgeable and interesting. He was able to give us so much information on the history of Poland and answer all our questions. The car was so much fun. One of our group drove our car but I think the tour leader would have driven if needed. We’ve all gone and bought little fiat 125 souvenirs. As we had already explored the old town we went around quite different areas in the tour, areas that we would never have found ourselves. Jacob was very happy to make great recommendations of where else to visit. And on different types of vodka.
Wonderful drive around the city! Interesting sights seen, insightful information shared. Tour guide Jurek was very knowledgeable, kind, and a great narrator of the city's hidden gems. Driving the Polski Fiat was a blast, a definite crowd pleaser!
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed our trip. Thank you and we hope to see you again :)
We had such a fun tour with Agata in the little fiat! It was so exciting driving around Warsaw, and we learned so much about the history of the city. Agata was so friendly and knowledgable, thank you so much :)
It was great experience and well delivered. We learned a lot of historical facts and discovered new gems. The surprise at the end was cool as well.
We had a tour today with Jacob and he was amazing! He was very friendly, polite, helpful and we had such a great time with him. His history tour was very informative and interesting and he was very helpful when driving (as we are used to driving on the other side of the road!!). He was really easy to talk to and a great guide, couldn’t recommend more!😊
Amazing and amusing tour through the communist era. Our guide Konrad was very well informed about the history and particular details. Definitely recommend it to my friends visiting Warsaw. PS Fiat 126 is a beast!
