PRAGA is SO interesting- loved all the street art/ murals - but I know I wouldn't have gotten nearly as much out of it visiting on my own. Olivia was a fantastic guide - so knowledgeable and great sense of humour! I highly recommend this tour for a slice of "real" Warsaw life.

This is a well-paced walking tour with a lot of interesting facts about this neighborhood. Agnieszka was great. Knowledgeable.
We’ve had the pleasure of Olivia’s knowledge and expertise before on another tour. This one, around Praga, was no different. Who would have thought street art could be so interesting? Also, this was a great way to see some of what Warsaw used to look like. Highly recommend this tour and anything that Oliwia leads. She’s fantastic.
Olivia was an amazing guide and provided such an in-depth history of Praga. She was very accommodating of our slow pace (we had a family member with mobility difficulties) and many questions and provided excellent recommendations for where to eat and shop. I appreciate that she included information on how local residents feel about dispossession and gentrification instead of only focusing on the positive changes to the area. Thank you Olivia!
Aga (sp? ..our guide) was amazing. The pacing and depth of information was perfect. Our guide was or had been a resident of Praga and showed us some spots we wouldn't have found ourselves. I would definitely recommend this.
We really enjoyed this walking tour of Praga! Olivia, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of this unique area of Warsaw. We highly recommend taking her tour!
the tour was very interesting, Oliwia is in love with what she does and that translates into her walk! She showed us Praga district and talked about then and now and it was very informative. I highly recommend this tour
The tour was wonderful and very adaptive. I was the only attendee on a weekday morning when it was raining, and they did not cancel! I really appreciated how Oliwia balanced historical information with anecdotes. I loved learning about more modern Poland through the eyes and architecture of Praga. The team provides a lot of great resources to learn about and explore Warsaw on your own time after the tour.
I highly recommend the tour through the Praga district with Oliwa. I am absolutely delighted. Oliwia showed us Praga out of the box, every place was interesting, I did not expect it to be so much fun. On the plus side, a coffee break during the tour (on a cold day). Amazing!
A very interesting tour with a guide who had good insight in local history, art and traditions and friendly attitude. Would warmly recommend it! Elisabeth & Ylva
The tour was amazing. We learned so much about the Praga district and it's people through the years. If was packed full of informative and historical information that made every minute of the tour very enjoyable. If you want to learn about the Praga district in a walking tour, then this is it for you. I highly recommend it.
Fantastic tour of Praga. Great stories about the area, extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. Highest possible recommendation!
The Praga walk was our second walk with Oliwia on this trip. The walk takes us through the Praga district, and tells us about a part of the city which has as much history as the other tourist spots, but can be overlooked. Oliwia's narrative of linking her own experiences growing up in Warsaw, made it even more memorable.
I had the tour with Oliwia and it was my first contact with the city since I really wanted to take this tour and they were the only ones with an available slot for today at this time. Even though I was the only one who reserved and the climate predictions were a bit uncertain they were super kind and they made the tour anyway. It’s such an amazing experience to walk around the neighborhoods with such a knowledgeable local, Oliwia explained tons of super interesting topics and stories that would pass unnoticed for the regular tourist. I’m super happy with the experience and I take with me a lot of amazing stories to share back home. Thanks a lot again and keep doing such an amazing job 🎉🙏🏻
Agnieszka was an excellent tour guide who spoke English brilliantly. She had tons of knowledge of the Praga area, and she has a great sense of humor, and can make jokes in English just like a native speaker. We would totally book another tour with her during our next visit to Warsaw.
Our tour leader had to deal with a PhD student in history studying in Warsaw, and me. I'm a WWII buff and history buff, so between the two of us the guide was having to pull out all the stops. She did! It was a great tour, with lots of local color. People were raising eyebrows when I said I was touring here, but it was very interesting (also safe, contrary to some reports).
Great tour! Loved the history and the stories. Oliwia knows her stuff. Liked her sense of humor. We enjoyed learning about Praga. We went back that evening .
Fabulous trip with a great guide, really a wonderful experience! Our guide was nice, very informed about everything, she showed us all the interest points!
I had today a fabulous tour of the Praga neighborhood, our guide Olivia was great, one of the best guides I have ever had, we were four people and thanks to hers it was really wonderful!
I would absolutely recommend everyone to choose this tour when visiting Warschau! Oliwia is an amazing guide. She has so much knowledge about this area and Warschau/Poland in particular. She shares it al in a great way (with a huge sense of humor and cool stories, what I absolutely love). She has eye for detail and this makes me look different to the buildings and surroundings in Praga. Praga has all the history and it is covered in beautiful detailed buildings as in roughness. It is here where people do live for generations, it is a working-class neighbourhood with sharp edges, tons of history and a quick changing future.
I could not participate for accident found in the street, I wrote to the owner of the tour operator if a partial refund was possible I did not receive any reply.Zero professionalism
It was a scam. I showed up at the agreed-upon location and an English guide showed up. When I hired her in Spanish, it can be done. So it was disappointing, a waste of time, and a scam. If they don't offer tours in Spanish, don't promote them and then send an English guide. Totally FACE
It was a nice and pleasant tour with Oliwia. Thank you for the tour despite the only booking. It was interesting to get to know Praga better and to find out that it has nothing to do with Prague in the Czech Republic!
A visit to Praga with Agniezka absolutely awesome! Exciting, informative, with a very friendly and passionate Guide to perfect French. A walk off the beaten track to discover a neighborhood apart. Do not hesitate, devote 2 hours of your stay to this visit, you will not regret it!
