Mary was an incredible tour guide who spoke very understandable English. Her knowledge of the city and its history were impressive and she was able to answer all of our questions. Getting picked up/dropped off right outside of our apartment was so convenient and the 3 hours went by so quickly. This was my first ‘private’ city tour and I’m not sure if I can go back to the large group tour atmosphere. The balance between driving and walking was also great as we were able to see so much more with a local driving us from sight to sight while she filled in the transit time with interesting stories and historical insights. Bottom line: I would 100% recommend a private tour with Mary to couples/families looking for a truly personalized door-to-door experience. I recommend doing this tour on your first day in Warsaw so that you can see the highlights and decide where to re-visit to gain more depth.

Our guide was tremendous, she made our short trip to Warsaw absolutely memorable and so interesting that we want to come back to further explore the city. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and shared with us the reasons behind much of the events and history of the city, including post war sentiment and current developments. Beautiful city!

Mary was our guide and she was fantastic. It is a great choice as you combine some walking with the car ride to other areas a little bit further than the downtown. It was not only just listening to what she had to say, but having a conversation with her about the fascinating facts and historic context of Warsaw.

Our tour was perfect. Jacek, was on time, friendly and we enjoyed our time with him very much. I look forward to coming back to Warsaw in the summer to further explore your beautiful city. I would recommend your tour company and Jacek any time.

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour! A great way to see part of the city (especially on a cold day!) The tour guide's quirkiness, jokes and general commentary about the city made this extra fun :)
