Overview

Warsaw is an old city with centuries of history, so touring on a retro minibus is a fun way to get around that fits the vibe of the city. Over three hours, check out famous and lesser-known attractions that some visitors miss, including the off-beat Praga district, Soviet-style architecture, and reconstructed pre-World War II buildings. This is a great way for first-time visitors to get an overview of the Polish capital.

Pickup details

If your pickup location is not present in the selection box, please send the address to the tour operator. Please note that transfer from and to the hotel counts into the tour's total time. Therefore, sometimes it is better to meet the guide in the city centre, rather than spend the time transferring from the far-located hotel.

Travelling in the vintage truck was a definite highlight, and with us being the only people on the tour, it felt like a very personalized tour! The tour guide was fantastic, and very chatty giving his own personal experiences! Had a great day touring around Warsaw.

Michál was an excellent guide and took time to ask us what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go; even accommodating our request not to do too much walking. He even had pictures to expound on the history of Warsaw. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Warsa for the first time!!

Great guide. Fun and informative.

Lucas did a great job of bringing us to all of the key sights and had a huge amount of historical information.

The tour was just what we needed to get oriented in Warsaw. We loved the history lesson and seeing it come to life in the highlights.

Loved Arturo’s tour!!!

Robert_T, Sep 2022

Arturo was very friendly, informative and graciously customized our tour to highlight the architectural history since my wife and I are both architects. We visited all of the items in the itinerary and kept to the schedule. I’d recommend this trip and Arturo highly. Fabulous!!!
