“It was a beautiful morning and a great tour. Chris (I think) was our guide. He was born and raised in Warsaw so he had very extensive knowledge of the places we visited. Got to see quite a lot in the three hours. He was also a lot of fun to be with. Our driver did a great job as well and the vehicle was modern and very comfortable. I would recommend this tour.”
Glide 10+ km through Warsaw’s Royal Route, Vistula River views, and Multimedia Fountain Park on a 3-hour guided Segway tour with training.
“It was a great tour. We had a great tour guide adapting to our needs. The segways were a bit older but okay. It’s great way to get around the city but can be also challenging with lots of pedestrians around us. Overall we had a lot of fun!”

“Pani Ewa jest przewodnikiem o ogromnej wiedzy. Jej zaangażowanie podczas wycieczki zrobiło na nas duże wrażenie. Jednocześnie nie stwarzała ona dystansu między oprowadzającym a uczestnikami. Wraz z partnerką czuliśmy się jakbyśmy mieli tak wspaniałą erudytkę w rodzinie! Serdecznie dziękujemy i pozdrawiamy, Kasia i Jacek”
Guided visit to Warsaw’s Palace of Culture and Science: skip-the-line entry, short interior tour, and panoramic 30th-floor views.
“Bad organized, first 40 minutes we stood in the lobby of palace, guide explained about the history, then we visited two palace rooms (in first room we spent also about 40 minutes, and after we came back again to the lobby, guide didn’t notice that all tourists started wondering, maybe this trip is a scam), then we reached the terrace, that’s it. Not worth it at all, it’s better just to buy ticket by yourself. We wanted to see the palace, but it seems they can show only two rooms of it.”
Guided Auschwitz-Birkenau day trip from Warsaw with fast train, hotel pickup, headsets, and transport included. Museum entry included.
“The trip was brilliant and it was for the most part well organised used. The booking information says that the trains are Fast Trains. And the train out in the morning was but it was a very different train on the way home and as such the return trip was close to 4hours long. Which was a lot after being on the road since 5.30am and not getting home until after midnight. All of the other aspects were excellent.”

Warsaw to Auschwitz and Krakow in one long day with early pickup, an English-guided Auschwitz visit, and time to explore Krakow’s main square.
“It was a long day. Felt bad for our driver. But the tour in Auswitz was very good and needed to be heard. Then the trip to Krakow old town was very good. Wish we had a bit more time in Krakow. The day was so long at the camps and without a real rest for a meal, that when we arrived at Krakow, we just wanted to sit and eat something. Nevertheless, found a nice little restaurant and ate dinner (not in the main square) and then enjoyed the walk.”

“Llego 15 min tarde nos llevaba a un punto y nos leia lo que en el movil encontraba en chat gpt. Ni era guia ni con competencias culturales. Lo mejor que se fuera 15min antes diciendo que en esa zona no habia nada mas que ver. Me siento engañada y triste por un servicio asi.”
