We had an excellent afternoon exploring Warsaw's history with Conrad. He was extremely knowledgeable, fluent in English, and offered a flexible and entertaining itinerary. Our guide was invested in portraying this history factually and free from personal biases. I would highly recommend this tour to others.

Marcin was very knowledgeable and interesting! By sharing personal experiences, he made our tour much more than a history lesson. I would highly recommend taking this tour!!! He was the best!

The guide was well experienced with good English.
The tour was fun and riding an old car for a tour for sure gave it a unique touch.

Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thank you for your opinion. We feel bad about this situation (albo: We apologise for the inconvenience we caused you. ) We are extremely sorry that you did not drink a shot with us and you were not taken a photo. Please let us know when you will be back in Warsaw so we could organise another tour for you for free. We hope to see you soon to drink a shot of polish vodka with some polish snack and make a great photo!

This tour was so much fun and incredibly informative! Martin was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about Warsaw’s history. The retro fiat was a great way to travel around the city. We would definitely recommend this tour to other visitors.

Great Experience, our tour guide, Adam, was very passionate and knowledgeable about Warsaw and it's history. We would definitely recommend!

Some day we may book a similar tour but certainly never one better! Olga was our tour guide and she was exceptional. Not only did she have a command of the subject matter but she was able to relate and share personal stories that her family endured during this time period. Amazing! This tour is well worth the money and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Warsaw. As this time period played such a vital role in the evolution of Poland as we know it today, one would be remiss not to include this in depth look into a very dark time in their history. Not only did Olga masterfully drive the little Fiat through the hectic streets of Warsaw but she was able to answer a barrage of questions we threw at her while doing so. She made it fun and highly informative. Very well done!

Our guide Pawel went out of his way to make sure we had a great time! Thank you Pawel - your knowledge is fantastic!

Wonderful tour! We learned so much about Warsaw and Polish history during this tour. Martin took us to places the usual tour companies do not do. We took a “city” tour with another tour company the next day, and it was not nearly as good. We were really glad we had done the communism tour the previous day because we had the background knowledge to fill in all the information the second tour guide left out. This tour is a must!
SHARON_H, Apr 2019
The tour guide started the tour asking us what we want to see, again i would have expected him to have an itinerary ready. We were then taken to the Praga district and shown many many buildings that had been stripped of decoration by Stalin. We were then also shown a picture of a "black market place" from the communist era. That was the extent of the Communist history of the tour. The remainder of the time was spent again just driving around the touristy parts of Warsaw with no reference to the Communist era at all and no itinerary being followed. The guide was very surprised when i asked to go to the Communist Museum which it then turned out was closed. Very disappointing and no value for money again.
