Antek & Tomek

4.89

(226 reviews)

We are Antoni and Tomasz, but everyone calls us Antek and Tomek! We are professional, licensed city guides and many years ago we decided to forge our own path as tour guides. Before that, we gathered experience in countless travel companies, and now we want to share that experience with you. The tours we offer are our own creations with a very personal touch. We both live on the right side of Warsaw, in the Praga district, and we work daily on the left side, where we will soon meet you in person. We earn our daily bread on the streets, where we also get our stories and tales. So, prepare yourself for a truly local tour with real Varsovians.
