This walking tour is wonderful. I truly was brought back in time to some of the experiences that happened in Warsaw's past. We actually listened to some stops a few time to go back and retain more of the details that were shared. I have so much empathy for the people of Poland and Warsaw after thie experience. We did this over 2 different days.

Itinerary
Start where a king on a column watches over centuries of history, and an entire city decided to rebuild itself from memory.
Step inside a cathedral the Nazis destroyed with an armored vehicle packed with explosives
Meet Warsaw's mermaid — not the gentle kind, but a sword-wielding warrior
Discover other highlights of the old town like the terrace whose charming name translates to "Dung Hill" and the legend of the Warsaw Basilisk on Krzywe Koło Street
Pass through a fortress rebuilt with bricks shipped from cities across Poland
Visit a quiet church where over a thousand people sheltered during the Uprising — and never left. Then pause at a communist-era cafeteria and find out why a full meal still costs less than a Western coffee.
Locate a marker most visitors walk past without knowing they're standing on the edge of a walled prison that held 400,000 people.
End at this honest tribute that speaks volumes about not just the uprising itself but the politics after the war
Stand at the birthplace of a woman who attended an illegal underground university and later won two Nobel Prizes.
Look up at a palace that was blown apart with thousands of drilled dynamite holes — then rebuilt with citizens' savings.
Walk three times around a cracked bell that never rang — and make a wish locals swear it grants
Notice the oversized helmet on a tiny bronze soldier — it wasn't artistic license.

Easy to navigate and informative at a basic level, if you don't know much about Warsaw, which I didn't.
Brilliant. Well narrated. Fascinating history. Well paced walking tour. We made it last five hours!
Very interesting and educational but easy to follow. Easy to downloaf and you can pause anytime if you want to stop for a coffee somewhere.
Fantastic guide through most the historical sites in Old and new town, but could do better to guide to the tomb of the unknown soldier, POLIN museum (and the other dozens of museums littered throughout the city), and only briefly references the "Royal Route"
The only way you can't enjoy a self guided tour is if the information that is being shared is noticeably inaccurate. The level of detail and instruction that was provided by the narrator was great. The maps on how to get to where you were supposed to be were great as well as the pictures showing you what you are to be looking at. It was a great experience
The self-guided Legends abd Uprisings Walking Tour of Warsaw was good and easy to navigate throughout. We were able to do it at our own pace, stop for lunch and continue our tour afterwards. This was also convenient especially when we had 2 elderly people with us.
Great introduction to Warsaw Old Town. The tour worked with no problems and no need for wifi after it downloads. It explains major aspects of Warsaw's history and helps you plan whatelse to see.
Love using these self guided walking tours. There easy and fun
We didn't end up using this, but what a great way to see the city of Warsaw on your own. Next time we visit, we will sure to use this tour!
I found this self guided tour by chance. It was really useful finding out more about the area and made me stop to look at it more carefully. Great to be able to go at my own pace.
The audio recording was very quiet - in such noisy places, even at the highest volume level, you had to listen closely to make out the words (with headphones).
Great! So convenient. Very interesting facts about history and local legends.
This has been my fourth tour with Tourific. It's a nice way to take in the most interesting parts of city allowing you to start and stop as you please.
Great self paced guided tour. Informative and easy to follow using the map and images to check in right place. Enjoyed that could stop and start if wanted to spend longer in one place and then immediately pickup and resume all at my speed and comfort rather than being herded in a group Great experience and value for money that will make me recommend to others and try more tours on my travels
I love these self paced walking tours! We had the loveliest walk with around the Warsaw old time, the amount of information was just right - not too deep, not too vague, great for a first time visit. I liked that the points of interest and stories included different historical periods and stories from both real history and the myths. The app was also intuitive and easy to use. Thank you!
I recommend self-guided tours; you can go at your own pace and take as many breaks as you like. The Self-Guided Legends and Uprisings Walking Tour of Warsaw is very well prepared. The map clearly guides you to the selected points.
Easy walkable tour. Good and interesting information provided. Convenient since you can start and stop anytime and tour at your own pace, skip some stops or rewind. Good price.
My son and I downloaded the app and followed the route and thoroughly enjoyed the explanations and photos. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in the history of Warsaw during WWII.
I toured Old Warsaw with my daughter and this audio tour gave us a nice walking tour and background on the sites we passed by. Highly recommend especially for your first visit to Warsaw.
The guided tour was so helpful and educational. It really made the experience of walking about the Old Town so much more interesting. I liked that I could go at my own pace and repeat sections as needed. It brought the area "to life". I would definitely recommend it.
Really recommended, super good and helpful information how to explore Warsaw. It focus in some places that you normally not notice and the histories behind are just amazing.
Convenient, non-binding, and easy way to explore the city
Very well-made guide. It tells many curiosities and, indeed, legends of the old city of Warsaw. It even lets you touch upon some hidden spots outside the usual tourist guides.
Very pleasant and enriching. The truth is that being able to put it on and stop at your own pace is very good.
Very nice and the anecdotes told were compelling, an accurate visit; on my own I wouldn't have seen everything there was to see
I was fascinated and thrilled. Very informative and detailed. I will try it again on my next trip
Excellent discovery, I didn't know I could have this solution. It was simply fantastic. Thanks to Anna, who explained everything to us very accurately, I was moved, with photos and maps. Top. Thank Anna, she is very talented.
Anna's audio guide allowed us to get to know Warsaw in a flexible and pleasant way in its most interesting aspects. The app is very easy to use thanks to the photos and the map. It is a very valid and more economical alternative to physical guides. Highly recommended!!!
A very interesting experience.. I loved it.. I will be a regular customer on my next trips.. I absolutely recommend it 👍
It was complicated to follow the map and reach the points described by the audio guide. We had to use maps from another phone.
Excellent guide, intuitive and comprehensive
We were able to explore the old town in a very relaxed way and were well informed.
At your own pace. Concrete clarity.
Precise and interesting, excellent value for money.
Excellent! Clear tour, good directions via Maps and clear information. To the point, historically correct and clearly voiced (so AI occasionally wrong emphasises, but not disturbing. A good alternative to a guide! We'll do it again next time.
Convenient, affordable, perfect narrator; I recommend this type of experience, Warsaw is truly spectacular.
This type of tour offers the possibility to customize the route, adapting it to your own pace and needs. It is full of information and the photographic support helps to recognize the sites explained along the way. Highly recommended!
Excellent guide, full of details. Difficult to do it in two hours. Stop 16 is almost a treasure hunt.
We had a good experience, the only thing is that the map should be linked directly to Google Maps
We enjoyed visiting at our own pace in two parts. The historical commentaries are essential for understanding the spirit of the city.
The self-guided tour guide works perfectly. I liked that very much.
Fun and interesting, very accurate
Very good explanations at the most interesting spots of a tour. The length and details make a tour guide obsolete. You can set your own pace, allowing time to absorb what you see and to take photos or videos.
A very interesting activity to do on the first day of the stay to better identify points of interest and other visits to make. Moreover, wearing a helmet isolates from outside noise, allowing for immersion in the visit. The time given at each stop is appropriate, and we can stop to take a break and resume the visit (after all, not so bad when some guided tours are done at a fast pace!)
The audio did not download, so I had to read Tried it twice Losing 1 hour
Uwielbiam tę formę zwiedzania. Aplikacja spełniła moje oczekiwania i mogę szczerze ten produkt polecić.
Tour with interesting audio guide
Great audio guide easy to use and follow!
Our walking tour in Warsaw on our own with the app was fantastic!! We went at our own pace, stopping, listening and admiring the
