Stalin would be jealous
Oct 2022
Who says history has to be stale? I had a blast tooling around Warsaw in a vintage Fiat from the 1980's with Konrad.

Looking at some of those poorly designed Communist buildings while driving in a car from the era with a similar reputation (FIAT = Fix It Again, Tony) is more than a gimmick. It reminds you how things were not that long ago.

Konrad was perfect for this role. He is knowledgeable, he is a good driver and he is adventurous. When we were in the plaza of the former Communist Party building (the "Party House"), a throng of extras working on a film nearby filed into a queue to get a free lunch inside. We wanted to see the inside so we lined up and got a chance to see the interior of a building that would normally be closed on a Sunday. Then we hopped back into the Fiat for more adventures.

I had just arrived in Poland from the U.S. and I had a suitcase of warm clothes to donate to Ukrainian refugees. We dropped it off at the volunteer station at the train station, which was right by the Palace of Culture, the first stop on our tour. Konrad also got the address for an evening activity on my schedule that I could not locate.

Jenky, comrades!

Fun way to see Warsaw with knowledgeable and experienced guide
Oct 2021 • Family
My 18 year old son and I had an excellent and fascinating tour with Pavel, our guide. He was passionate and went out of his way to show us all the sites he knew we would particularly enjoy. He was skilled and experienced and his knowledge was endless. He took us to an original “milk bar” introduced us to Polish cuisine and skilfully sped us round the sights and neighbourhoods of Warsaw whilst commenting and adding interesting anecdotes. It was a fun and different way to see the city in the vintage Fiat and the vodka tipple at the end was the icing on the cake.

Fantastic Experience
Jan 2020 • Family
We really enjoyed our Private Communist History Tour of Warsaw. Our guide Olga was brilliant. Very knowledgeable and very patient in answering all our questions. Not only did we receive a lot of information about what life was like in Communist Warsaw but we also received a great tour of the city. We also mentioned the boys wanted to buy football jerseys and Olga even drove us to Legia Warsawa’s stadium. The little treat at the end of the tour was also very welcome. I strongly recommend doing this tour if you want to learn about this fantastic city as it existed under the Communists.

Poland tour
Apr 2022 • Friends
I did a special father-daughter trip to Poland from the USA and we had the best guide ever named Marcin Hilgier. Extremely informative, knowledgeable, friendly and upbeat. He provided such useful and insightful information, especially with this terrible war going on now it was really interesting to get the perspective on this. My dad is an experienced international traveler unlike me and he said Marcin was one of the best tour guides he has ever spent time with. We highly recommend him!

Quite enjoyable.
May 2023
As we drove around Warsaw, the smiles on the locals faces as they saw the FIAT was something. I enjoyed the tour and how the Soviet occupation following the impacted the tour guide's life. The shot of Vodka which ended the tour was a treat. Not the regular Vodka. I was not disappointed.

Great and engaging tour of Warsaw with a focus on its communist history. Our guide (Marcin) was interesting and fluent, making the tour an amazing experience. The retro car adds a nice touch to the tour. I definitely recommend it to everyone interested in Warsaw and its history

Communist History Tour
Sep 2019
As an avid fan of anything Eastern Europe related, this trip was superb. My guide, Marcin, was friendly and knowledgable. Any question I asked, he answered.
I have lived in Warsaw for over a year, and Marcin showed me details about the city I had never noticed. My favorite part of the tour was a trip to Stara Praga. If you want a comprehensive experience of Warsaw, I urge you to choose this tour.
I had no complaints whatsoever, and I would consider doing this again were my family and friends to visit Warsaw. A big thanks again to Marcin and Warsaw Private Tours! Well done, I will enthusiastically recommend you!

RIDING THROUGH HISTORY
May 2019 • Friends
We recently enjoyed a Warsaw Communist History tour - by Retro Fiat, no less! Our guide, Szymon, was outstanding. I thought I knew history, but this experience broadened my info tremendously. I recommend this company - and definitely request Szymon as guide and driver!

100% Must-Do in Warsaw!
Aug 2019
We stumbled upon this tour by walking past one of the cars. I googled the company when we got back to the hotel and decided to book a tour. I booked a tour for 4 people at about 7:00 pm on a Tuesday for 9:00 the next morning. Booking was simple and straightforward. I got a confirmation email immediately.

Wednesday morning, Martin arrived at my hotel right on time. The car was a ~1984 fiat. It was a little tight for 5 people, especially since there was no air conditioning, but there was plenty of breeze through the open windows, and it wasn’t terrible. Also, we weren’t driving the entire time - we stopped often to get out of the car at various sites and walk around.

Martin was an amazing (amazing!) guide. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about Polish history, he grew up in Warsaw and lived through the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He was able to give us such a personal, fascinating perspective - it really brought history to life! We asked a lot of questions, and Martin gave us interesting detailed answers to everything. The tour lasted 4 hours, but seemed to fly by. We even stopped for lunch at a local cafe!

This tour was definitely the highlight of my trip to Poland. I recommend it to anyone that wants to really have a personalized, detailed look at Warsaw. Absolutely worth it!
