Private Tour: Warsaw City Sightseeing by Retro Fiat

3.Private Tour: Warsaw City Sightseeing by Retro Fiat

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 562 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $108

Meet your English-speaking guide at your hotel and explore Warsaw in a private retro Fiat 125p. You’ll see the rebuilt Old Town, Palace of Culture, Łazienki Park, Constitution Square, and possibly Praga or the former Jewish Ghetto. Guides such as Jacob, Karol, Maks, and Martin tailor the route to your interests.

“Jacob was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the history of Warsaw and of Poland. We visited all the sights as advertised. I particularly liked that Jacob took us to the Praga area of Warsaw because it was interesting to see the eastern part of Warsaw which is probably neglected by most tourists. Also we saw many parts of Warsaw which gave us a valuable overview of the city. And since we did this on the first day of our trip to Warsaw, it helped us to determine which parts to visit on our own. I would recommend this trip to my family and friends.”

Warsaw: Warsaw Ghetto Private Walking Tour with Hotel Pickup

4.Warsaw Ghetto Private Walking Tour with Hotel Pickup

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 369 reviews · 3 hours · from $84

Spend three hours tracing Warsaw’s former Jewish ghetto with a private English or German-speaking guide. See wall fragments, the last ghetto street, Umschlagplatz, the Ghetto Heroes Monument, and the only surviving synagogue still in use. Guides such as Marzena and Mary use wartime photos and maps to connect today’s streets with the vanished city.

“Marzena is an AMAZING tour guide! She is passionate about the subject matter of the Warsaw Ghetto. She explained the entire history of the Ghetto - as well as the uprising/ resistance so vividly - taking me to specific spots where the Ghetto used to be and showing me pictures of how the areas looked during the war so that I could see what changed and what has stayed the same. This helped take me back in time and understand drama of the history. I feel very lucky to have had Marzena as my tour guide. It was a rainy day - but her energy and her willingness to walk…”
