From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 3.
The Old Town is not only the historical part of Warsaw. It must be remembered that until the end of the 18th century, Warsaw included only the Old Town, so called Old Warsaw. The New Town, formerly known as New Warsaw, was incorporated later. Previously, these were two separate cities, each of them had its own coat of arms. Old Warsaw Mermaid, New Warsaw Lady with a Unicorn. During our trip we will see, among others, the column of King Sigismund III Vasa in front of the Royal Castle, formerly the castle of Masovian dukes. From there, we will go to the Cathedral of St. John, where we will see the tombs of Masovian dukes. We will visit the Museum of Warsaw where we can admire the historic mermaid, saved from the Warsaw Uprising. We will go through the Barbican, which was the former fortification separating New and Old Warsaw. We will see the historic bell at the Kanonia square. Finally, we will see Chopin’s heart embedded in the Church of the Holly Cross.

Cesar was amazing. It was one of the best tours i've ever had. He showed me much more than Old Town. I have seen the palaces with beautiful gardens, statue of Copernicus and house of Marie Curie. We also had luck to see ceremony of changing the guard by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I highly recommend the tour with Cesar.
Caesar is an amazing tour guide and historian. He knows not only the history from the beginning of Warsaw to the present day but the history of all of Poland and how it integrates into the world at large. Caesar pointed out many important things that helped us understand Poland that we would have not noticed otherwise. In a few short hours I felt like I had gained an understanding of Poland. He is a great guide. We highly recommend!
Thank You so much. Poland has long and interesting history. You can feel the spirit of the Old Times going to the crypts of Old Town cathedra or walking through the Royal Road to see church with Chopin heart or king Sobieski Palace in Wilanów. Also I learned more about USA and Old cities settled by Spaniards.
Cesar was just awesome answering all questions and curiosities without hesitation! He was so thorough and thoughtful throughout would highly recommend!
Thank You. Warsaw is so beautiful city with interesting history. Old, New Town, Royal Road and not only. Its also legends and local traditions.
Excellent tour. Cesar was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great way to learn about the old town.
Thank You so much. Im really happy You enjoyed it. I always try to show the most interesting landmarks in the Old and New Town. Was a great time to me either
Had a lovely walking tour with Cesar. I was only in Warsaw for 36 hours so I was hoping to be able to get a good sense of the old and new city while I was there. I was very happy with the experience and felt like I learned a good amount about the history of Warsaw and current culture on this tour.
Thank You so much Anna. Is good to hear that. Warsaw is magnificent. Its so much to see. Im really happy people appreciate its history and beauty.
Amazing time! He is really such an awesome and special guide! You can tell he really loves his job and that made it so enjoyable for me! I would recommend a million times over
Thanks Natalie. Was also amazing time for me. I really like to meet people from the other countries and learn about different cultures.
Cesar was very informative and knowledgeable with a deep fondness for his city of Warsaw. Thank you so much for your clear communication, attention to detail and guidance. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank You so much Dawn. Im really happy You enjoyed in Warsaw. I always try to show the Old Town and the other landmarks from the best side.
A very rich and thoughtfully designed tour through Warsaw’s Old Town and Krakowskie Przedmieście. It combines essential landmarks - the Royal Castle, St. John’s Cathedral, the Barbican, Kanonia and the Old Town Square - with atmospheric historical stories and local symbols. The route also extends naturally toward the Holy Cross Church, Warsaw University, the Presidential Palace and the Copernicus Monument, giving visitors a broader sense of Warsaw’s identity. An excellent choice for anyone who wants more than a standard walk: history, legends, architecture and memory in one compact experience.
Thank You so much. Im really happy You enjoyed it. As You see Warsaw is full of monuments with so much history. Its also diverse with architecture from different periods.
Cesar is a very nice guy and a terrific guide with an encyclopedic knowledge of Warsaw, the new and the old, reconstruction, the Uprising, the wars, etc. My wife and I had a terrific walk with him around the old and new towns (of course, even the new town is incredibly old). I highly recommend visiting Warsaw as it's clean, friendly and beautiful, and hiring Cesar to really understand the history of this amazing place
Thank You Bradley. Im happy You liked it. Warsaw is really worth to visit. Its full of monuments and parks. Its much more than Old and New Town. Its also Praga District and old bazars. This unique place with soul. I hope You will come back.
The tour i took was great. My guide told me a lot of facts about Warsaw. We saw the Old and New Town. After we went through the Royal Road with old churches and historical hotel Bristol. Also we saw the church with the Chopin heart. It was unforgetable experience.
Thank You my friend. I always try to show the most interesting and unknown places in the city. Warsaw is full of history and monuments. Im happy You liked it
