Full description

Visit places connected with the childhood of world-famous pianist and composer Frederic Chopin on this half-day tour from Warsaw. Enjoy a short trip to the nearby village of Zelazowa Wola. It is here that Frederic Chopin was born, and a museum dedicated to the composer is located in the preserved annex of the former Chopin family home. Inside the home, the atmosphere of an early 19th-century Polish manor house has been recreated, with furniture, tapestries, engravings, and musical instruments of the period decorating the interior. The spacious rooms also display a number of unique manuscripts penned by Chopin in his early childhood. Afterward, relax in the lovely botanical park created behind the manor. After touring the museum and its gardens in Zelazowa Wola, visit the Gothic-Renaissance parish church in nearby Brochow. This is the site where Chopin's parents were married and young Frederic was baptized.

Excellent knowledge and very good spoken English.

The route was well thought out and we spent just about the right amount of time in each location. The guide was very aimiable, spoke very good English and took the trouble to explain things if we needed further information. I would say that nothing was too much trouble for our guide and we would have no trouble in reccomending him to other individuals/groups.

This tour should not be offered at a time when there is nothing there.

It is not enjoyable at all to come to a place at a time when no music is played, there are no flowers in the garden, the restaurant is closed, and so is the church. This tour should not be offered at all at such a time, It was a complete waste of money, and I certainly would like to be compensated.
