Robert was fascinating knowledgeable enthusiastic and friendly. Highly recommend
Tour guide was prepared and informative. The story of Polands struggle for independence and democracy should be more widely known and admired.
Good knowledgeable tour guide who presented the information in a clear and precise manner with a good sense of humour. Lots of interesting stories along the journey. Well worth doing.
We strolled through the streets of old town with our guide Anna. She is a very experienced guide with a wealth of information, excellent English (along with several other languages) and a great sense of humor. We learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful city. We highly recommend this tour.
The walking tour was one of the best I’ve ever been in. Fun, informative…I couldn’t recommend it more.
What I liked about the tour was the English guide was extremely knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor. He was very entertaining. The tour was 2 1/2 hours and worth every penny.
Kate was a great guide on a well organised tour around the old town, giving details of Warsaw's history interweaved with local stories, attitudes and legends, and happily answering questions. She spoke with lightness, humour and then seriousness when speaking of difficult periods of Warsaw's history. Kate has a way of linking information, stories and what we saw on the tour that makes interesting historical detail easy to remember. It was a perfect start to our stay in Warsaw.
Kate was fantastic Great tour leader

Very informative and engaging tour. Learnt a lot about the city that you wouldn’t be able to find out for yourself
Robert our guide was brilliant. His knowledge on the history of Warsaw was great. His English was really good and his explanations too good. The tour started on time. It lasted a little more than 2 hours, but well spent. You do need to climb a few stairs..just keep that in mind. On the whole a very informative tour.
Excellent guide , very knowledgeable and with a dry sense of humour. We learned a great deal as he was very thorough. Very enjoyable.
Excellent experience. Guide knowledge keep interest nad attention of the people. Highlly recommended fot forsy Times visitors.
The guide gave us a grounded and personal tour through Warszawa in a steady and confident pace, so we felt included and informed. With a surplus of knowledge about the city, polish culture and history and also his personal history, he gave us a more than satisfactory tour, and we were only sad he couldn’t be a guide for the rest of our trip.
The tour was fantastic and our guide was fantastic. HHe told us about history, culture, traditions in an entertaining way. Highly recommend.
Antony is a great story teller. We learned a lot about the history and culture if this underrated city. Fascinating. Indomitable spirit and still a vibrant city that is so interesting.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and helped us understand the history of Warsaw. It was a wonderful tour!
Fantastic tour - Polish history, food, humour, architecture, Jewish history, geography, post war rebuild. We highly recommend
It was a great walking tour, with a nice background to the history and also contained some humor, which i love. I would highly recommend people to attend it, as you feel richter by hearing all the stories and also have a better understanding of what you may want to visit after the tour. If you are a few days in the city, start with the tour and then plan your itinerary afterwards
The tour guy has shared some interesting information about history, architecture, food, polish famous people and I I WW upraisings. Nice guy, funny would recommend definitely.
Guide was well informed and very knowledgeable. Excellent tour. Would certainly recommend as an orientation to Warsaw.
Anthony was a great guide, informative and funny sometimes. I highly recommend this product to learn more about Warsaw and its history.
Great guide, good information, not boring! Kept us in the shade too (it was a hot day!) Definitely recommend, decent walk, lots to see.
Very knowledgeable guide who spent nearly two hours with my wife and I. We were very lucky to have him to ourselves! Perfect English, very helpful, answered any questions and gave tips on how best to enjoy Warsaw’s museums and sights. Great value and highly recommended as an introduction to the city centre and old town.
It was so nice ! Antony is a really good guide , and knows everything about his country So interesting Merciiiiii
We try to take a walking tour whenever we visit a new city. Antoni gave us a great introduction to the wonderful city of Warsaw. He is very knowledgeable and showed us a lot of places that we wouldn’t find by ourselves! There is so much history here that it's well worth having someone knowledgeable to show you around. We felt so lucky to have Antoni introduce the history and culture of Poland!
I mostly don't write reviews, but I have to leave one here. I took this tour this past week with Antoni (owner) from Walking Poland. I thought after living in Poland for over a year, I will know all about the royal route area, but it really wasn’t the case. Antoni proved me, there was more about that part of the city history, I didn’t know. I’m happy I took this tour and that they didn't cancel on me when I was the only one that actually booked that day, after all I didn’t take the private version of this tour. It was worth the 12 dollars and more.
Being as it was a quiet time of the year and on a Tuesday, I was lucky enough to have this tour to myself! I was so surprised it wasn't cancelled given that it was just me but was so grateful - especially for all of the good tips Antoni shared. He had amazing knowledge of the place and was able to answer all the questions I had and also give some great recommendations for the area! Highly recommend as great value for money.
A mix of knowledge, humor and professionalism; best tour guide in Warsaw. I'll recommend a tour with Antoni to anyone
Great knowledge, and wonderful sights, basically trip worthy of time and money spent. Will check other trip alternatives.
Very nice walking tour with Antoni! Beautiful buildings and a great guide. The idea, to step in the Miniature Park is good.
I have a lot of guests from abroad and I think this is a brilliant idea to show Warsaw to them with Walking Poland's help. The guide is a professional, has a big knowledge about the city and a very polite attitude. He was very patient and answered all of our questions, even the most stupid ones ;) . We walked around the Old Town and visited a lot of sights on the Royal Route. One of the best tours I ever took. I highly recommend Walking Poland for your visit in Warsaw!
The city tour with Thomas in German was very interesting, entertaining, and educational. Thomas is a native speaker and a local in Warsaw; he knows his way around perfectly and can answer all questions.
