    Our guide spoke perfect English and was hugely informative. He really helped to paint a vivid picture of War torn Warsaw as well as educating us about life under Soviet rule. It was fun to travel round in the communist era bus and we saw parts of the city which we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. He also took us to a hipster place for lunch ( which we hadn’t realised was included in the price) where we had a local speciality and obligatory beer. Would thoroughly recommend.

    This was a great tour! Mark did an amazing job of educating us about the history of Warsaw from past to present. My friend and I really enjoyed the personal interaction. He was very personable and we felt safe and comfortable driving around Warsaw with him. I highly recommend this tour. We also enjoyed our lunch and shot of vodka!! Very memorable experience. Keep up the good work!

    We had a fantastic tour guide named Marvin! A great and informative tour of the city with a delicious lunch stop! Loved the transportation, lots of fun. Would not hesitate to recommend the tour to anyone interested in something more than the regular generic tour of sites.
