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.

What a fun and informative way to see the city. Our guide Tomas was an encyclopedia of information on Warsaw and its history. This tour is worth it for riding in the Soviet era van alone.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour. Our van has just been serviced, and it seems it still needs a few adjustments. We’ll take care of them today.
This was hands down the best private tour we have ever taken. The extra effort to show us, explore, explain, and walk us through some many interesting facts regarding Warsaw was fascinating. The ride in the old communist era van was also an experience. Wonderful all the way through.
Fun way to get to know the history of the city and see a general layout, ask questions about places and spaces, and have fun in a tiny bus/van! We had a great time!
A highly recommended tour with a very knowledgeable guide. It covered not only the sights of Warsaw, but it's history and that of Poland.
We had a fantastic tour of Warsaw with Konrad. The retro communist-era minibus made exploring the city even more memorable and perfectly matched Warsaw’s unique atmosphere and history. Over the three-hour tour, Konrad gave us an excellent overview of the city, combining major landmarks with hidden gems that we would never have discovered on our own.
The private, customizable format allowed us to focus on the aspects of the city that interested us most, and Konrad was knowledgeable, engaging, and a very pleasant host.
For anyone visiting Warsaw for the first time, especially if you’re short on time, this tour is an outstanding introduction to the Polish capital. Highly recommended and don’t forget to ask for Konrad to be your tour guide!
The car is not air conditioned therefore uncomfortable. The tour guide is excellent and knowledgeable
Very nice tour. Truly comprehensive overview of Warsaw, the history of neighborhoods and some interesting tidbits of things you wouldn’t know or find on your own.
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.
Was a great fact filled tour… Poland has such a rich history! Our guided answered all our questions and made learning about Poland fun!
Great Guide - Very informative and personable. Fun way to get oriented to Warsaw and see the sights!
Martin was outstanding. He is knowledgeable and is a fantastic tour guide. His van is unique and everyone is intrigued by it. Definitely book this tour of Warsaw. Well worth it!
OMG The Best! Informative, very entertaining and our family had a great tour. The old bus was cute and historical to drive around the city. Would definitely recommend this tour over and over again!
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!!
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.
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!!!
