We had a relatively small group of 6 people and a really engaging tour guide. We'd stop at various points to learn the history of the area and were pointed out spots we would have never gone or thought about on our own. This was one of the highlights of our trip and we'd definitely do it again. Note that you'll bike ~20 kilometers. While it's mostly flat ground and doable, our guide was pretty fast and I was definitely feeling it in my legs toward the end. I was pleasantly surprised that I was ok on the uneven cobblestones (I was nervous about this, as I prefer street vs. mountain biking). This also goes over lunch time, so plan accordingly. While you stop at the Wendel Chocolate Factory with an option to get a snack, eat a hearty breakfast and plan for a proper late lunch afterwards.
Guide was excellent, great trip around Warsaw looking at things you wouldn't have seen without him. He added his own stories having grown up during the fall of communism.
Great time for all. Calves were sore the next day!
The guide, Marcin, was absolutely fabulous! He has tremendous knowledge of the history of Warsaw and is eager to share his knowledge. Biking was mostly on flat trails and doable for all levels of riders. Do not hesitate to book this trip!
Wonderful tour by Marcin. Informative, funny, knowledgeable.
Great experience. Not just the main tourist areas but also insights into wartime and prewar Warsaw. Excellent guide. Very pleasant ride. Highly recommended
Be early to ensure you are comfortable with the bike they help you with! Minimum 15 mins early ! It is a full 4 hours and be comfortable riding a bike on all types of ground! Very informative and enjoyable! Rent the basket! You will use it! I could have done without the stadium portion of the tour as it did not interest me but that is a preference. Otherwise learned a lot of history! Marcin our guide was well informed! The hill at the end is a killer! I did it! You can too! Safe place to leave your bags at the office.
Brilliant 4hr bike ride of Warsaw and Praga district. Highly recommended and very insightful. 10/10. Marcin was knowledgeable, funny and kept us well informed.
Great time riding around Warsaw and stopping at some very interesting places. Marcin made the experience amazing!
As the title of the bike tour implies, Marvin led us on a trip through various parts of the city landscapes. Accompanied by narration that enhances one’s historical perspective.
Wonderful, Got to see most of the city in under 2 hours. The guide, Marcin, was very informative. The bike ride in itself was enjoyable. Highly recommended!
A fantastic way to see everything you want to visit. Provides a great opportunity to pique your interest that you can go back to later after the tour. Marcin was an outstanding guide who kept the energy and jokes flowing the entire time.
I highly recommend this tour for those wishing to discover parts of Warsaw that most tourist probably don’t see. Over the course of four hours we biked around 20 kilometers through multiple parks and neighborhoods on both sides of the river, almost always using dedicated bike infrastructure. Our guide, Marcin, was enthusiastic, energetic, and knowledgeable. For those wary of cycling 20 kilometers, rest assured that the bikes are comfortable and the terrain is almost completely flat.
Tour was very much worth it. Suggest doing it early in your trip since this gives you a great chance to see many interesting parts of Warsaw and then you can go back later to spend more time in your favorite spots. Marcin our tour guide was great, friendly, accommodating, and very knowledgable. As much as Marcin like to joke that there's no talk about history on this tour, he teaches you a lot about the resilient history of Warsaw and the People of Warsaw. Highly recommend. Just make sure you can handle bike riding for about 4 hours off and on. Very limited, but there are a few hilly spots (which you can chose to walk your bike during instead).
We had an amazing tour with Pan Marcin - 20+ km bike ride around the hidden gems of Warsaw. Still, it didn't feel so long at all - we took a number of stops and Pan Marcin had some great stories. Will definitely recommend! It was one of the highlights of our trip to Poland.
Great experience with guide Maks. He is the best tour guide has a lot of knowledge and takes the time.
A great choice for a sunny afternoon. We visited multiple sites from near Old Town, to the ruins of the Saxon Palace (Tomb of the Unknown Soldier), the Warsaw Ghetto, down to the Vistula River, and back. The tour guide was nice, and provided some history at each stop.
This was an outstanding way to see Warsaw: we used it as an introduction on our first day in the City. Gawel was an excellent guide, keeping us safe as well as imparting important information about every period of history from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to the tragedy of WW2. We were blessed with wonderful weather too! Highly recommended.
We loved the tour, totally worth it in an amazing way to see Warsaw and hear and learn a lot about the history of the area. Our tour guide was Gawel and he shared a lot of information about all of these sites, had photos to show us what the rebuilds of areas looks like, and took us to a nice place for a drink along the river to go in detail through some more history. This is a family friendly bike ride.
Gavel is the best guide. He has a lot of knowledge and very nice person. We enjoy the tour very much
Me and a friend took part in the Wow! Warsaw bike tour with tour guide Eryk. He is very knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor. The tour as the guide’s storytelling is engaging. It is a short ride filled with historical details and entertaining anecdotes. The bike is comfortable to ride and the gears easy to adjust. Totally recommend this tour!
A huge thank you to Gawel for our bike tour this morning. The tour was informative and also relaxed. Gawel’s knowledge and personable way made our tour very enjoyable. We also received great transport and food tips. We would highly recommend Gawel and Station Warsaw for visitors. Thanks, V&S Houghton
We took the tour as a family of 3. The tour is indeed the perfect way to see most of Warsaw main sights along with it's most important info in very short time. It is best to take the tour in the first days of your visit to know what to explore later in detail. The information provided was accurate, to the point and not at all boring. Our guide Joanna was a perfect English speaker and professional guide. The pace was excellent even for inexperienced bikers, having our 10yr old son perfectly following and enjoying the tour. A definite recommendation for anybody visiting this beautiful and heroic city...
Absolutely loved our Warsaw bike tour with Gawel our excellent tour guide. Just the right mix of culture, history and general anecdotes. Highly recommended. Make sure you bring water and food as there is no food stop.
Very good biking tour! Eryk is a perfectly suited as a tour guide that had a lot of knowledge of the city and although we had a bit of rain we couldn’t be more satisfied. This is a great overview of what Warsaw has to offer/ Rune and Rebecca from Sweden 🚲
The trip we had today was an excellent combination of casual sightseeing and light activity. Gaweł was exceptional guide! Broad knowledge, great sense of humour and lovely personality. I will take all my foreign friends visiting Warsaw to these bike trips.
Did this Tour in amazing weather yesterday - the route is both beautiful and packed with lots of stops so everyone can manage it. Our guide GAWEŁ was great and very friendly. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful bike tour of this super city, what a great way to explore so many different areas! Gawel was a super guide, really friendly, lots of knowledge and really passionate about his country! He even helped us with planning our trip to Serock! Would highly recommend this tour.
Went on the bike tour yesterday with Eryk. Very informational and we saw a lot of the city. If you only have a day in Warsaw I would def recommend doing this as you will learn a lot in such a short time.
We consider cycling is the best way to receive and experience the history of Warsaw. The city is so unique and beautiful with a visible history. We were lucky to have Gawel as our guide he explained everything well and maid the history so real and touchable.
Effective and easy booking of this trip online. I Had a problem initially with my credit card and they responded very quickly. The Station Warsaw office is only 10 mins walk from the Old Town square, look for the garages with 4 doors. Eric was our lovely guide on a sunny morning, Mike very helpful in making sure we were comfortable with our bikes. Ask for a basket or pannier if you need. We apparently covered 18km and covered pretty much all the major tourist sites. A gorgeous way to understand Warsaw's history, culture and layout before selecting which to visit properly. Eric was entertaining, very knowledgeable and a careful guide. I'm glad our tour only had the 3 of us, easy to stop and ask questions. Do note that there are some bouncy bits, like going over lots of cobblestones, down earth slopes to reach the forest and beach on opposite side of the Vistula - and one steepish hill up over the water fountain display! A definite thumbs up!
My friend and I were very fortunate to have Gawel as our guide for the 3 hour communist tour. He couldn't have been better. Super informative (there wasn't a question he was unable to answer), very patient (we idiotically hadn't packed for the cold so he took us to a street vendor selling hats and gloves), friendly and funny. The tour itself was brilliant. We learnt so much (and felt we were becoming fitter as we traipsed around the city too!). Highly recommended, comrades!
We stopped in Warsaw on our train trip from Gdansk and Krakow. I couldn't figure out how to spend more time in Warsaw but really wanted to see it, so taking the bike tour seemed a viable alternative. After arriving at the main rr station we checked in our luggage and barely made it to Station Warsaw's starting point in Old Town by 11am. Getting from the train station to the metro wasn't easy for us newbies, then we had to walk a pretty long way from the metro station. Eliza was our guide, and it was an 3 plus hour amazing bike ride around Old Town, through the big park, over to the Palace of Science and Culture, across the river to the stadium, then back to the starting point along the beach and river. The tour definitely piqued my interest in returning to Warsaw one day. I only have one complaint. It was a big group of riders and Station Warsaw doesn't have a policy of getting a volunteer to ride in the back. At the beginning to the tour we lost several people. When Eliza finally realized it, she had to ride back and find them... while making the rest of the tour participants wait. She did make up the lost time at the back end, but it did seem a little disorganized for a while.
<p>Enjoyed our bike tour our guide Peter was good only comment is that there were too many in the group there should have been a guide at front and one at the back with such a large number. Otherwise well worth doing to see the sights in and around Warsaw.</p>
<p>Very enjoyable 3 hour tour, guide was friendly and well informed about the area and history of Warsaw.</p>
Learned so much about Warsaw during the bike trip! Was really very interesting. Have seen and enjoyed the tour a lot, partly due to the very good explanation from our guide Marcin. Real recommendation.
Jakub is a great guide who helped us discover Warsaw, a beautiful bike tour that was very smooth for those 20km
Our guide Eryk did a great job. Good English, sometimes a bit quick for non-native speakers. But then gladly explains again. As is often the case in Poland: a lot of information about political and social history. With the bike you can just see more!
We were 7 pieces on a 3 hour guided bike tour with guide Michal. He was very nice and very knowledgeable. We visited 20 sights in Warsaw, which is an easy and nice city to cycle in. Michal met us with the bikes outside the hotel, which we paid a little extra for. Quiet to nice trip that suits most people.
With 4 people us signed up and we turned out to be the only 4. Gawel was our guide. He told interesting and useful information. He also always showed pictures in A4 format that were a super good addition to what he told. We did the tour on the first day which gave us a good impression of the city. He also had good tips on when to visit which things/museums.
Visit places where you can't get there by bus. Our manager joanna showed us wonderful places in three hours and made very good comment. It was also very entertaining to visit the city in a group of twelve.
The bike tour was super interesting and we also received a lot of historical information. A great way to explore the city. The size of the group was a bit too much, but otherwise really recommended.
On the occasion of an EVG, we cycled around the city for 3 hours. Booking on the website is easy. The starting point is close to the old town, the bikes are new and of good manufacture, it is possible to benefit from a helmet. The bike tour of the city was great, the guide is full of pep and makes the tour very interactive with anecdotes about the history of Warsaw. We learned a lot and enjoyed a complete panorama with the main tourist sites. A superb activity!
