I’m a student pilot currently living in Warsaw, though I grew up in Ireland after my Polish parents moved there when I was young. I studied Aerospace Engineering and have a big passion for travelling—so far I’ve visited 46 out of 193 countries. I’m also into distance running, football, skiing, and exploring history, especially from WWI onwards, which makes discovering Warsaw’s past particularly fascinating.

Tour description

I came to Warsaw as a student pilot, planning only to study and fly—but I quickly fell in love with the city. Growing up in Ireland with Polish roots, I knew the history of Poland mattered, but walking these streets turned stories into reality. Every corner of Warsaw holds a secret: resilience, tragedy, and rebirth.

On this tour, I’ll take you beyond the guidebooks. We’ll trace the scars of WWII and the Uprising, step into hidden courtyards of the Old Town, and see how Warsaw rebuilt itself from ashes into one of Europe’s most vibrant capitals. Along the way, I’ll share stories that connect global history to Poland’s own journey, with a few personal reflections that make it all come alive.

📍 Highlights include:

Palace of Culture and Science
Nowy Świat & Krakowskie Przedmieście
Piłsudski Square, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier & Saxon Garden
Royal Castle & Old Town Square
Warsaw Uprising Monument
Ending at Krasinski Palace & Gardens 🌳

Warsaw is not just a city—it’s a story of destruction, survival, and rebirth. Let me take you on a journey where each stop reveals another chapter.

👉 Book now and let’s explore Warsaw together—not as tourists, but as travelers uncovering the soul of a city.
