Guides may include Cezary, Dominic, Dorata, Caesar, or Shawn. Food, water, and a recipe booklet are included.

“We have been a big fan of Viator tour and have taken many food tours when I go to a new city. This was very disappointing this is the same guide that continues to get bad reviews. I’m not sure why I have somebody who is not Polish , has only lived in the country a short time doing something that would be so personal about their city. Additionally the value was absurd. We spent US$190 for two people and I think the total cost for food for the three restaurants was probably under $20. The service at the restaurant was also poor because they didn’t see us as actual…”

“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…”

Some of the places we went I would never have found on my own. He found us a couple of places to sit while he spoke of the area. His humor was great. After the tour, I happened to pass by him eating lunch and reading a book outside of a bookshop. I didn’t bother him, but thought, that is why he’s such a great tour guide. He loves learning.”

“Caesar was a joy to explore Warsaw with last Thursday. He is a friendly, kind and extremely knowledgeable guide. As we were a small group of 3, he was flexible and allowed us to take breaks when we were cold and explore areas that were of particular interest to us. My only advice would be if he could provide more of an introduction to the tour at the beginning both with respect to the logistics of the tour (advise the group that we will be walking for one hour, take a 15 minute break and then conclude the tour another hour later at X spot). Also some context on Polish/Warsaw…”

Yes, old town Warsaw is gorgeous, and Polish cuisine is fantastic. The true beauty of this tour was the guide. She brought food with her to the meeting point, and gave us extra goodies along the way. But she gave us a breathtaking account of the history of Warsaw, including her own and her amazing families’ history there. And she was a delight to be with as well. Thank you so much Marie if this review finds its way to you.”
