Excellent guide Albert, passionate about his subject, very familiar with his material.
Fantastic guide (Albert) who has incredible knowledge. We had very demanding weather conditions, 34°C, but everyone stayed till the end and Albert was enthusiastic at all times.
Our guide was Gorska. She shared memories from her own family as well as factual historical detail. We learned some interesting things as well as being taken around to some of the key places. It was the anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising so the whole city was buzzing; it was very patriotic. This tour was exactly what we hoped for.
Educational and beautiful tours of the old and new town. Guide was great.
