Overview

This private tour lets you experience the city comfortably, without any rush, according to your needs. We could describe it as a "slow tour", despite our communist cars can still go pretty fast! This is a perfect choice if you prefer to avoid squeezing in with other guests and keep your tempo. First, the guide brings to light the basics at the walk at Warsaw Old Town: medieval trade paths, the first republic and last hopes, rise and fall of Poland - it’s all there. Next, take a picturesque ride over the Vistula river to the Praga district, the only original pre-WWII piece of Warsaw. Find the beloved streets by filmmakers and witness the transformation of derelict tenement houses into retro luxury apartments. Finally, pass by the National Stadium and drive back to the city centre to discover the post-WWII reconstruction of Warsaw. Aim for soviet-style architecture, overwhelming squares and see the changes after the communist system collapsed in 1989.

What's Included

  • Hotel/apartment Pickup and drop-off within a 3 km radius of the city center
  • Transport by retro communist minibus
  • Professional local guide
  • Food and drinks

Pickup details

If your pickup location is not present in the selection box, please send the address to the tour operator. Please note that transfer from and to the hotel counts into the tour's total time. Therefore, sometimes it is better to meet the guide in the city centre, rather than spend the time transferring from the far-located hotel.

What To Expect

Old Town

The Old Town is an excellent start to discovering Warsaw. On the walk, you see Castle Square, where the story of Warsaw started more than 700 years ago. The king who believed to have both Polish and Swedish thrones, old trade paths and signs of German gothic era settlers. There is so much to find!

The Old Town Market Place is the true heart of the Old Town.

Praga Polnoc

The next part is the enigmatic Praga district, located on the Eastern side of the Vistula river. When the minibus crosses the river, one can see picturesque views of the wild riverside. Praga is the only district of Warsaw that survived the apocalypse of WWII - that's why it represents the picture of the pre-WWII city filled with belle-epoque buildings with small and noisy courtyards. Once neglected, it becomes a hip and artistic part of Warsaw, still not affected by commercial tourism.

Palm Tree (Pass By)

A rumour circulates in Warsaw that the Palm Tree is a gift from the city of Jerusalem for Warsaw, that in this way, Israeli wanted to show Poles what a real Christmas tree looks like.As the Polish expression ‘hit by a palm tree’ refers to something unthinkable, a behaviour that verges on being silly, even idiotic, the project thus embodies substantial humour and irony, which saves it from linear reading and suggests something that escapes palpable understanding.

Śródmieście

Back in the central district, your Żuk minibus parks near the ex-Polish Communist Party headquarters. This regime settled in 1945 and had a challenging task to cope with - reconstructing Poland's capital city. Moreover, since it seemed to be the only chance ever, architects decided to remodel Warsaw and make it a more comfortable place to live and work. But unfortunately, they had to cope with the Party, which opted for a Soviet-style city filled with overwhelming buildings and a happy proletariat. Did they make a compromise? Let's check it out!
