Wear comfortable shoes....

Allison_B, Aug 2026

Wear comfortable shoes. Very informative tour. Lukasz was a wonderful, well informed guide. He took us to hidden places that the average tourist would never have found. His English is excellent.

Amazing tour, highest...

Richard_S, Jun 2026

Amazing tour, highest recommendation. Our tour guide Lukasz was knowledgeable, courteous, and very passionate about Polish history. Learned much about Polish history, architecture, and the influence of the uprising in 1944.
