Disjointed tour of what should have been a great tour of old town Warsaw

Elaine_G, Jul 2026

We booked a private Highlights of Old Town Warsaw tour and met our guide, who was pleasant and polite. Unfortunately, the tour itself was quite disappointing. I’ve travelled extensively and done countless city tours over the years, and this is the first time I’ve ever found myself wanting a tour to end early. The delivery was very dry, with little enthusiasm or engagement. The history felt disconnected, and there were no interesting anecdotes, local insights, or recommendations that usually bring a city to life. We were really hoping to come away with a deeper appreciation of Warsaw and its Old Town, but the experience felt very flat and lacked any real flow or personality. I don’t enjoy leaving negative reviews, but all 13 of us on the tour were left feeling rather baffled by the experience. It simply didn’t meet the standard we’ve come to expect from guided city tours.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

A mix of history and beauty

GeraldineFiona_C, Apr 2023

The whole experience with Ewa was very interesting and touching at the same time. Apart from the beautiful sightseeing, Ewa gave us true insight into the sad history of Warsaw and the incredible strength of its population.

Super Tour!!!
