Excellent tour of the area and very knowledgeble guide. This tour really highlighted what it was like in Warsaw during and after the war and especially living in the Ghettos. Good lunch in an authentic Polish cafe. Well worth spending half a day getting to know the history of Warsaw.

Art was a fantastic and informative guide, he was friendly and explained the sights in a very moving way. This tour was really good, moving away from the normal tourist spots, the lunch was really tasty in a Polish restaurant and the cucumber vodka was really great 😋 thank you Art for a very good few hours in a lovely city, I would highly recommend it.

Excellent quirky tour of some of the less obvious parts of Warsaw

Very interesting tour off the beaten track slightly helping us to get a different glimpse of Warsaw. The Zug minibus added a different, fun dimension. Our guide Jan was very entertaining and engaging. Relaxed and knowledgeable and easy to get along with during the tour. Tour started off with quite a lot of coverage of the Jewish Ghetto areas which was fascinating. However, would have been even better had there been a little more of a scene-setting short history lesson before we got into it. Two days later we visited the truly excellent Polin museum when a lot of what Jan had introduced us to made a lot more sense. Jan had assumed knowledge at the start which we did not have. Quirky tour that took us off the beaten track. Recommended

An amazing 4 hour tour in a 1970s Zuk communist regime mini van. Mark was outstanding. So much knowledge of the subject. Told us so much about pre 1939 Warsaw, the Nazi invasion, the Jewish Ghetto and the years 1945 to 1989 Soviet rule and living under communism. Although a cold day, Marks enthusiasm kept the 6 passengers involved in the tour. Great memory of our time in Warsaw.

Mark was our Tour Guide in Warsaw. He knew everything about the City and the people that had controlled it for so many decades. His knowledge and EXCELLENT English made the tour very enjoyable and our group of 4 loved every minute of it. I highly recommend his tour.
