Great way to learn about Poland and Warsaw Old Town.
Jacob from Orangeumbrella gave us an excellent overview of the turbulent history of Poland and the development of Warsaw. Then he explained the devastation of the Warsaw Uprising and the rebuilding of the Old Town and surrounds. He is very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Highly recommend this tour and Jacob.

When, by fortunate circumstances, I discovered an exceptional person and organization
Circumstances of true good fortune led us to meet a person of exceptional culture. 110/100 with honors, dearest Gawel 👏👏👏
Calling him a guide is an understatement: a couple of wonderful hours on the afternoon of August 24th, walking through the historic center of Warsaw illustrated by Gawel who, step by step, engaged us with his heartfelt love (fully shared) for this beautiful city. Truly admirable organization: well done, well done, well done.
