Guida con un ottimo inglese e ben istruito sui siti, ritmo incannante e 2 ore piene di informazioni. Il giro è stato “geograficamente” breve, speravo di vedere anche altre zone, ma utile per avere le nozioni storiche della città

Peter was our guide. I was surprised how good his English was, in fact I thought he had a British accent. He was very detailed in the history of Warsaw and told many fun stories. He was able to answer all of my questions including what would be suitable souvenirs to bring back beside the magnets, shot glasses, etc. I hope to return to Warsaw in the future with my husband, and I would definitely go on tour again with him. Thanks Peter it was so much fun & hope to see you soon

We really enjoyed the tour - it was very informative, but also entertaining and understandable even without prior knowledge about the history of the city and Poland
