Highlights
Feel the fabric of the city and experience Warsaw like a local on a private guided tour of Polish capital’s iconic landmarks and hidden treasures. You can pick one of the themed tours or customize your itinerary according to your interests.
Warsaw's image can differ a lot. Dramatic events of the past, its near total destruction and subsequent reconstruction create an exciting background to a thrilling journey across time and space. From gothic churches to communist monumentalism, from derelict 19th century slums to glass skyscrapers of today. Warsaw is a multifaceted, thriving metropolis with many secrets hidden from majority of visitors. Although it rests in the heart of the old continent, it has all the characterics of the new world. It's raw, vibrant, uncharted.
Itinerary
Warsaw Old Town

The project was the world's first attempt to resurrect an entire historic city core and was included on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1980. The reconstruction efforts were again recognized in 2011 when all its documents and records were added to UNESCO’s Memory of the World ProgrammeKing Sigismund's Column (Kolumna Zygmunta)
