One of the best city tours in my life! The group was quite demanding but the guide planned the route perfectly, sharing with us the stories of Warsaw that not everyone knows about. I fully recommend it. It's definitely not the last walk with Break in Warsaw..😁👌🏻

It was a lovely afternoon! My guide, Gosia, is really kind and had taugh me a lot of nice things about Warsaw and Polska history! It is a different perspective when you have the opportunity to walk with someone who knows the history about the places. I could visit places with details, something that I would have if I was by myself. Also, her company saved me a lot of time searching for a nice place to visit! Really worth it!

I greatly enjoyed a private tour of Jewish Warsaw with Wojtek - very personable and knowledgeable guy who gave a wonderful tour of remains of the ghetto, shedding light on the design and back stories as we visited memorials, ruins, monuments and buildings. A two hour tour turned into three hours, and I also learned a lot about the communist era in Warsaw, and the way contemporary Poles view their country. I highly recommend going on this tour!

We recently booked 3 private tours in Warsaw through Break in Warsaw. Due to last minute changes from my end, Margaret (the owner) was unable to guide us herself, but recommended Wojtek, a guide they work with regularly. He was fantastic. Wojtek took us on an extended walking tour of the city (including subway and bus) and gave us a really good feel for the city and its history. He dropped us at a fabulous spot for dinner that was a few minutes walk to our hotel. The next two days were a combination of car, bus and walking - to view the Jewish ghetto and the communist architecture and history of this great city. Wojtek was personable, super knowledgeable and proud of his city and country - as well as showing a keen interest in who we are and our country. I cannot say enough about how helpful Margaret was before our tours - quick responses by email and always there to offer helpful hints and recommendations. We would not hesitate to book with them again

I had a walking tour of the Old Town and the Royal Route. This was an excellent introduction by a very knowledgeable guide, not just to the history of Warsaw and Poland in general, but also gave lots of useful information that no guide book, however good can provide. Only a local could provide this information. I was also given lots of information about other places to visit. Highly recommended.

I booked the tour alone by sending an email. Reply came very quickly and soon a private tour was scheduled of communist warsaw. The tour guide herself suggested to meet early to also do a tour of the old city. I learned a lot from the guide! Amazing tour.

After amazing walk with Gosia. She has absolutely unusual, unique knowledge of plants in the city. Go on a tour of your neighborhood or other areas with Gosia - you'll see the city you don't know!

This was an impressive tour through the Warsaw's soviet era. Our guide was very competent friendly. She explained many the architecture and many facts of the soviet time with many own experiences, so the trip was very interesting and vivid. Highly recommended when starting a sightseeing in Warsaw. Thanks a lot.

Warsaw's beauty isn't as obvious as, for example, that of Krakow or Prague. However, with the right information and stories a dull building can turn into a fascinating tellings about Warsaw in the communist era.
I visited Warsaw with four friends and we got a free tour from Jan from Tip Tours. For some hours we walked through town and we finished in a bar, together with Jan. This tour is a must-do for everyone visiting Poland's capital.

From NL to PL. It was a real pleasure to take you round . We're all enthusiasts about the place especially over a cold beer on a hot afternoon! I hope the rest of your stay was equally as good. Good luck with everything back home.

Abbiamo prenotato un viaggio ad agosto in polonia.Saremo a Varsavia dal 15 al 18 agosto, volevamo programmare uno o due tour (16 e 17) in italiano.volevo sapere se era possibile e il costo.Grazie
Written July 17, 2018
buongiorno
Noi eravamo in due e abbiamo fatto il giro della città vecchia .
La nostra guida si chiamava Gawel,parlava bene l'italiano e ci ha accompagnato nella visita che è durata circa 2 ore e mezzo.
Il costo non lo ricordo ma credo sia importante affidarsi ad una guida esperta perché poi si possono chiedere molti consigli su altre visite e curiosità.

These days Kasia is on holidays (until 15th) but all of our tour guides are great:) We organize Communist Warsaw free tours every Tue, Thu, Sat and Sun at 2 pm. The meeting point is on the crossroads of Nowy Swiat and Smolna st. The guide waits there these days at 2 pm with the yellow umbrella. You'll find a small map and more details on our web page - the link to the free tours is on the left. We naturally also offer tailor made walking and scooter tours.

Hi there, a friend and I are in Warsaw until Monday and would like to go on both the communist and Jewish tours, what are the times/days and meeting points? Thank you.
Written June 11, 2015
Hi! Everything is written on out free tour page (go to Break In Warsaw web page and click on the link - Tip Trips season 2015 - and you'll find the details there).
If you mean the Communist Warsaw free tours - just come to the meeting point at 2 pm (on Sat or Sun). The Jewish Warsaw free tours are organized these days on request only, and only on Wednesdays and Fridays, but after they Communist tour you can always ask a tour guide if she/he can do it for you for instance on Sunday.
Good luck and enjoy it!
And if you do, please don't hesitate to leave us a comment here :)

Our plane lands at 12:30 p.m. on a Sunday, in July. We leave Warsaw the next morning but will return in 3 weeks. After flying from the US I am sure we will be extremely exhausted but is there a free or inexpensive tour of the city we can take to get a feeling of what a fantastic city it is and how it has thrived in spite of what it has gone through. There are 4 adults and a 14 year old. I fear we may be too exhausted to walk. We will be staying at the Bristol Hotel.

On Sundays we organize only Jewish Warsaw free tour, but these days it's at 10 am. Free tour means that it's a free entry activity but you can tip the tour guide in the end of a tour. This tour lasts usually 2h. We can organize any different tour (the Royal Route and the Old Town for instance) but this will be a regular tour. Our price for a one district tour (e.g. The Old Town) is 280 PLN and 400 PLN for any combined tour lasting up to 4h. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.
