Arif was absolutely amazing and knowledgeable! He walked us around and gave us plenty of great information and history. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Arif was an excellent tour guide! He’s not native to Poland, which I found to be so helpful because he explained why he chooses to call Warsaw home and what makes the city so great. Plus the food was really yummy!

Horrible, tour company. Kept posting on Viator, that they had the tour scheduled, but cancelled.
Ruined my day. Avoid

We have been a big fan of Viator tour and have taken many food tours when I go to a new city. This was very disappointing this is the same guide that continues to get bad reviews. I’m not sure why I have somebody who is not Polish , has only lived in the country a short time doing something that would be so personal about their city. Additionally the value was absurd. We spent US$190 for two people and I think the total cost for food for the three restaurants was probably under $20. The service at the restaurant was also poor because they didn’t see us as actual customers were probably just idiots that wanted to go on this bogus food tour. The guide head no relationship with the restaurant owners. I appreciated that we experience the equivalent to a fast food restaurant with Polish food. I really would’ve preferred paying $20 for the list of restaurants and making my own decisions once I got there

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our goal with every tour is to provide authentic cultural insight, warm hospitality, and value that goes beyond the cost of the food itself through storytelling, guiding, and connecting our guests to the city’s history and traditions.
We are currently reviewing your comments regarding both the guide assignment and the restaurant partnerships, as your experience is not in line with the standards we set for our tours. We work with a team of passionate guides, both local and international, who live in and love the city, but we take seriously your point about ensuring that the guide’s background enhances the authenticity of the experience.
Regarding the food and service, we will address this with our partner venues to ensure that all guests feel welcomed and valued as customers. We also continuously monitor our pricing to balance inclusions, guide expertise, and small-group experiences.
Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to improve. If you would like to discuss this further, please reach out to us directly, and we will be glad to assist you personally.

Dominic was a fantastic guide making this walking food tour very enjoyable with his historical information. The food was also delicious and the tour ended with a shot of vodka.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the history, the delicious food, and the fun ending. We hope to see you again on another tour!

Dominic was a great host to take us on a Polish food tour. He is very knowledgeable of the Polish history.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the Polish food tour and learned more about the history. We’d be happy to welcome you back for another experience.
Jeffrey_F, Aug 2025
Our guide, Dorata, was great! Great personality with interesting stories about Polish history. We tasted many really good traditional Polish food and drink. I highly recommended this tour, and especially, Dorata!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and the traditional Polish food and drink! We’d love to welcome you back for another experience soon.

This was a basic introduction to Polish cuisine - mostly pork, cabbage, pierogies, a flavored vodka tasting, frosted donuts. It would have been nice to hear some background about the origins and history of Polish food and its relation to the country's culture and history. But our guide, while a lovely, gracious fellow, had only been in Poland about a year. So he couldn't really impart much detail about the food or background of the restaurants we visited. We also had to walk a very long way to get to 2 of the 5 establishments on the tour. Other food tours we've done were more compact in their route which gave more time to enjoy the food.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed meeting your guide and trying some classic Polish dishes, and we appreciate your suggestions to improve the route and add more background. Your comments help us make future tours even better.
Callam_P, Jul 2025
The guide was not helpful at all. He was constantly walking about 10m ahead of the group, didn’t offer any notable facts or history about the food, and replied with short answers. I would recommend they attend another food tour within the city to see what the vibe should be like on these things. It was honestly a quite bizarre experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t meet your expectations and will use your comments to improve our tours in the future.
Gerry_A, Jun 2025
The food was delicious.
I was very disappointed that we did not get cabbage rolls. A lot of walking, 4 hour tour, especially to the last two spots., a 2.2 km walk. I don’t think it was necessary for a donut and a shot of vodka. Only 2 of 10 people drank so that was a waste of time
The guide was very knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and found the guide knowledgeable, and we appreciate your comments about the tour length and stops.
Edward_R, Jun 2025
This was a great way to sample Polish food traditions while also touring the old town. Caesar, our guide, was terrific. He filled us not only with food but also the history of the city itself. We had a great time.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed sampling Polish food and learning about the history of Warsaw’s old town.
Matt_T, Jun 2025
The food was all delicious. Perhaps even more than the food were the discussions about the history and cultural traditions around the food and all the great information shared during the walking tour. Caesar did an excellent job answering questions and provided excellent color commentary throughout the evening. Bring your walking shoes (2-3km) and appetite. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you! We’re delighted you enjoyed the food, history, and cultural insights on the tour, and appreciate your recommendation.
Shirley_S, May 2025
The food was lovely - so great to be exposed to some authentic foods that one wouldn’t order without his counsel.
It was fun and educational and our guide was warm and informative!
Carissa_B, May 2025
Caeser did an amazing job! We tried food from 5 different restaurants. It was all very good and not food that I would have found on my own.
sharon_K, Apr 2025
The food was delicious but the guide was totally disinterested and did nothing to talk to is along the Tour. Had been in Warsaw for less than a year and said was doing it for the money
Brian_D, Apr 2025
We appeared to have gotten a substitute tour guide at the last minute which may have accounted for some of the disappointment with this tour. I do want to say that I had let them know ahead of time that my daughter was a vegetarian and they were able to accommodate her at each location. The tour was supposed to provide a history of the food that we were sampling, but our guide offered very little information and generally only when asked a question. The tour description says that we would be "learning it's history, culture and all the background for each individual dish that we will try." We learned essentially nothing about the food itself and very little about the establishments in which the food was served. The food itself (I won't give away spoilers on what we sampled) was excellent at the first stop which was a great start, however, the subsequent selections were mediocre. The pictures shown in the Viator booking were in no way representative of what we actually experienced. For the price we paid, we would have been better off finding establishments ourselves and Googling the history of both the establishment and the food. A different tour guide might have helped make it a little more enjoyable, but it wouldn't have changed the food offerings (one of which was just shots at a bar). This was a disappointing use of our time and money.
EvelynMarlen_M, Apr 2025
Really nice tour! I loved it! All the food was amazing, Cezary was really nice and kind ☺️
I really recommend this tour!
ANN_C, Mar 2025
Louis was a wonderful guide. He said he just started doing this in the last few months but he was extremely knowledgeable. The food and drinks in the 5 places we went were all good. We let Louis know that we needed to walk slower than he was used to and he slowed down; we only had one other couple on the tour who were glad to walk slowly and talk. Rosa was on the tour as a trainee and she also gave us lots of information. Overall an excellent tour.
Dan_D, Mar 2025
All the food we had was good.
I was disappointed because I knew more about Polish food and culture than our guide. Our guide was so kind and sweet but she had only lived in Poland a very short time and didn’t know anything about Polish food or culture. It was a disappointment for how much the tour cost. I have done food tours around the world in many different countries and unfortunately this was one of the worst :(
Murray_L, Feb 2025
Fantastic foods across a stunning range of restaurants in a city steeped with history. My wife and I highly recommend - the tourist made so much better by Cesar’s love of his city. He is incredibly knowledgable and offers many insights into Polish food
Stephanie_G, Sep 2024
Shawn was great! Very knowledgeable about the history of old town. He took me to places I would never have discovered
Carol_C, Sep 2024
We got to sample many traditional polish dishes. Cesar was happy to answer all our questions and was knowledgeable on polish foods and history. We did have a long walk of 3 km to our fourth restaurant.
Bonnie_W, Jul 2024
The conversations were amazing and instant friendships were made. The teacher was kind and patient with all the side conversations and very knowledgeable about the practice of making the perogis. The shots of various types of homemade liquor were great and a lovely addition to the night.
Lois_R, May 2024
The food, the guide was fantastic-learned so much also about the history.
Small venues we ate at.
Would highly recommend.
denisosterreich, Apr 2024
I thought it was very an interesting and wonderful experience to have experienced the food/drinks at five different restaurants. However, the distance from the third to fourth place was somewhat far, and that walking distance may not be suitable for some older folks.
Pamela_L, Sep 2023
The tour lasted less than 3 hours. I am not sure why the tour wasnt cancelled because I was the only participant. And the host did not seem too interested. I learned very little about food in general in Poland or about the 2 dishes we had, or the vodka at the end. Both dishes were good.
Fiona_H, Jul 2023
Very disappointing. Only visited 3 food locations. Two with two food options (food quality was good) and the third was two shots of infused vodka, no food. The guide was not very forthcoming with information and the overall experience was rather dull and definitely not value for money
Michael_V, Jul 2023
Cezar contacted me when I was unable to find him in the plaza, which was very welcome. The most memorable part was the food and his easygoing attitude. His insight into the area's history was very welcome. I also lucked out that the other member of the tour group was great to hang out with. I'd recommend this for anyone looking to explore the area, Polish cuisine, and its history, and doesn't want to spend a full six hour day doing so. Great experience.
Gorgonio_V, Jun 2023
Had fun … very knowledgeable and passionate guide. The food was good and I highly recommend the tour.
Joseph_K, May 2023
Extremely overpriced and overall a pretty negative experience. Guide was not local and didn't seem to know anything about Warsaw or Polish cuisine. The last stop was cut from the tour with no explanation so we just left. Have been trying to claim a refund for (at minimum) the last stop as we'd prepaid for it but no luck. AVOID THIS TOUR.
