          Excellent overview
          My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Chris. It did run over 3 hours. The pick up at our hotel was late but I called the phone # and was assured that we were on the list. Lots of information in a short time period. Our questions were answered and Chris was very knowledgeable. No beer but water and chocolate. A good way to get an overview and ideas for later museum and area exploration. And Chris had a lovely sense of humor. The driver was skilled and the tour bus was comfortable Lots of walking on uneven surfaces.

          Good way to see the highlights of Warsaw and get some history as well
          This was a very nice tour, a mixture of driving in a comfortable Mercedes van and walking in the old town district. We got some amazing photos and our guide was very knowledgeable, but a bit too "aggressive" in explaining historical issues.

          Disappointed
          Honestly, I might’ve rated it higher if I’d understood the guide. His accent was terribly strong and I struggled to understand him. Also, there is incorrect information in the description. No beer, as others mentioned. And it was not 45 mins at the park. The guide said it would be 30 minutes, when in fact it was 1 hr and 15 mins. This may not have been a big deal, except I’d injured my knee and, thinking I could tolerate 45 minutes, I did it,but an hour and 15 presented a problem. One other issue. My hotel had three entrances, and I needed to know which entrance to be at. I sent a WhatsApp text the day before (early) and an SMS text the night before, but never heard from them. I guess it worked out, but don’t list the phone number for “issues” if no one from the company was going to answer. Maybe they were too tired from the extra walking and drinking all our beer. Ha! I did like the variety of what we saw and if you like history, you will enjoy this tour, at least if you can get a different guide. I also like the size of the tour (15 people) and the instant camaraderie.

          One star is too much
          The tour guide was very good. everything else was very poor. There was no pickup from my hotel. I receiv5e a message about the gathering point after i had paid, and when i contacted them, they said, "Sorry too many pickups." I selected and paid for the tour I'm interested in. However, they put you in the available spot without even informing me, I found this by accident.

          Knowledgeable Tour Guide, Missing Amenities
          Enjoyed the tour of Warsaw including the history and stories of Poland history. The tour bus was comfortable, air conditioned and we appreciated being picked up at our hotel. While still water was provided in the pockets of the seats onboard, the beer, soda and chocolates never were offered as listed in the description.

          Be careful who else with you on the tour
          We were picking up from our hotel and went to pick up more people from other hotel, the group was of 8-10 men who didn’t look sober, they were very loud and after tour guide asked them to keep it down because it was impossible to hear anything they ignored it and when I asked the men behind me to lower his voice he started a verbal abuse and we had no choice but to leave. The tour guide felt very bad called the office asking if he should call the police, they instructed him to let us know that tomorrow morning we could take the same tour complimentary. We were left in the middle of the city not even dropped back to our hotel. In the morning we took the same tour and we were charged full price. When I called the company and asked why you say complimentary and charged full price, she said it was not their fault and they are not responsible for their customers behavior. Of course it was more of them and only 2 of us. Very disappointing and unacceptable

          I had more expectations from the tour .
          The Guide wasn’t speaking English clearly so we had difficulty to understand what he was saying, in result to loose our interest .

          Good tour for an overview of Warsaw.
          Leo was extremely knowledgeable and quite friendly and helpful. The tour was easy to book and reasonably priced. We only had one day In Warsaw and wanted at least an overview of this interesting city. 😊

          Terrible
          I am quite shocked by the reviews for this tour. My experience was totally different and one I would not recommend. The tour was 3 hours long. The first hour was taken up by a walk around a park to look at trees and grass with the odd statue here and there. The tour leader provided no coherent history or storytelling. Providing very random comments about Warsaws history. It got to the point one when one of the tour group had to ask where we were and what was the point of the stop. To top it all off, the tour offers a hotel pick up service. However, although my hotel was named as a pick up location, I was contacted the night before to say the bus couldn’t pick me up at my hotel, so I’d have to walk to the next hotel—20 minutes away. Although we were offered a drink and sweet, the extra money for the tour versus the cost of a normal walking tour or hop on or hop off bus was simply not worth it.

        Awesome tour, highly recommended. The guide was very good. Whole tour took 3hrs. He involved everyone into the history of Poland. He went extra mile to ask everyone where they are from and incorporated little details about country relationships.

        A great way to see the highlights of Warsaw in 3 hours. It was very dynamic and educational. Jerzy, our guide, made it so interesting. We visited so many spots that are very important for a history of Warsaw and it makes you realize what a heroic city Warsaw is and what a colorful history it has. All because of Jerzy's way to share the history during the tour. We especially appreciated when Jerzy was showing us the pictures of places how they looked before and after the war, while we were standing in the exact locations. We highly recommend it!

        Our tour included pickup and drop off from the Sofitel Hotel. Our guide Olarf was a knowledgeable and passionate guide who shared his knowledge of the city of Warsaw and that of his country. He used humour where required and had a deep sense of sadness about the holocaust and knowledge of what had occurred. His empathetic story telling enhanced our experience. Great job mate. Chris our driver kept us safe. Highly recommend this tour. Great value.

        I asked the tour guide why the Jews were executed and what was their sin to be treated like that? Tour guide was upset and got sooo defensive and returning the question to us. An African guest tries to answer the question and tour guide stopped her and start babbling his opinion. He cannot even answer her question of who paid or helped in rebuilding Poland.
        Second, I shared to the group that we heard from the news about Poland's alleged interests in
        taking back their land. The Tour Guide got angry, screaming "You are abusive! inside our tour van. Can't we have decent question and answer? In what way you were abused? You were abused by a simple question? He did not stop there, he insulted us, what TV we were watching. We are not stupid. We are very educated. I kept telling him that I was just asking a question. You don't need to be angry and calling us Nazi!
        Is this how you treat your guests? You expect us to know about your country's history? We were all uneasy after that. All of us were not following the tour guide anymore. Two men from Turkey were taking photos nonstop and were not following nor listening to him. Me and my husband, just the same. The African lady stayed with us. Tour guide kept calling the African lady so that he will have an audience. The tour finished quick, instead of 4 hours, it was 3 hours.

        Dear Sir or Madam, Thank you for your review. We are very sorry that you did not like our guide Olaf. Our guides are supposed to show our guests Warsaw based on historical facts. We do not present our personal opinions and we do not discuss historical opinions with our guests. Olaf's only feedback is ***** stars on Viator, Get Your Guide and Fare Harbor which is easy to check is a very preferred guide by Guests. We will keep your comments in mind. Next time we will suggest you another guide. Best regards from Warsaw Zbigniew Ciemuchowski PS. Our tour takes 3 hours. We have no 4 hours public tours of Warsaw in cost of 35.-€

        Anna, the guide, was wonderfully knowledgeable as well as personable. She took us all over the city, highlighting historical events as well as current ones. It was great to walk through the most beautiful and intriguing sites and also listen to her enlightening information while we rode the van throughout the city. The small group was perfect: could hear the guide well wherever we went. Highly recommended!

        Extremely interesting tour, that was mainly because of Christof. Through his knowledge and his personal history. When asked questions, he had profound answers. Besides us there were also participants from America, Australia and England. We were all hanging from his lips. This gives Warsaw City Tours a warm recommendation from us.
        Not unimportantly, the bus was also nice on time in the right place, which we were allowed to determine ourselves via the app. During the trip there was a cool drink and a nice chocolate for all participants.

        Our guide Christoffer was absolutely fantastic 🤩 very knowledgeable and spoke inspiringly about the history of Poland and the sights in Warsaw. We were supposed to go on the hop on hop off bus but it didn't run that day and am so grateful and happy that it didn't run that day, then we would have missed Christoffer's fantastic guiding and also a super nice guy. Very large, nice and fresh mercedes bus with room for approx. 7-8 people. We took a chance and placed an order at 9.30pm in the evening and the tour was the next day. After an hour, we received a reply that they would pick us up at 10:00 AM the next day at our hotel - what a service❣️Highly recommend this guide 🌟🌟🌟

        We had this tour booked for several weeks in advance and the tour operator texted and canceled the tour about 45 minutes before pickup saying that we were the only people booked and they had to cancel. We were totally left hanging with nothing to do.
        Ruined our day. They just kept blaming the war in Ukraine for no business
        If you keep canceling you get no business!!!!

        A minibus (16 seats, air-conditioned) picked you up from the hotel on time. Under Guide Christof was super friendly and very eager to provide our small group (7 people) with information and anecdotes alike. He did not always succeed, but this was due to the heterogeneous group. From time to time I would have liked more information. In between there was even a taste of Polish chocolate, and chilled water was also in stock on the bus. Nevertheless, a great trip to get a quick and convenient orientation in Warsaw.
