15 Best Warsaw Activities & Escape Rooms 2019

Awesome tour!

A tour in a Nysa van is a great idea, you can really feel the atmosphere of the past. Our guide Kasia was amazing, she knows everything about the city and has many small sidestories, which make you really interested in the history of the city. It was great fun, really worth it and I would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a really original tour. I wish there was a tour like this in every interesting place in the world cause it really makes you fall in love with the place. Great job guys!

Warsaw Off the Beaten Path Tour

Quick and fun way to tour the center of Warsaw

I knew I could ride a bike, theoretically, but never actually used it to ride in a city.
What I noticed about Warsaw after spending a couple of days here is that it is a very friendly city for cyclists, safe and adapted for riding. This is why I decided to give it a try and had a very interesting tour across the historical part of the city.
The 3-hour tour will take you to the main landmarks and streets, through parks that have their own stories, to a place with popular cafes and to the bank of Wisła with a wonderful view. The pace of riding was quite easy for me as a beginner. The only hard part was to ride up the hill at the end of the tour, so I rode half the hill and went up by foot the other half. This tour was the highlight of my week in Warsaw, and I'm very glad I found it on this website.

Wow! Warsaw City Bike Tour

Fantastic Tour

What a great way to see Warsaw! The Nysa van is a novelty and definitely not the most comfortable but all the same a cool way to drive through the streets of the city. Artur was our guide and was fantastic, he was so knowledgable and made the day very fun! I would highly recommend for anyone looking to learn a bit more, Warsaw is so big and we wouldn’t of gotten to everything had we tried ourselves. It’s a gem!!

Very fun, very interesting

A great way to explore the city. Would like to thank our tour guide Marcin, who was very informative and interesting and also made us both feel comfortable driving the car. The car is very easy and fun to drive. The tour teaches you about polish history and shows you historic monuments all over the city. Would definitely recommend, me and my girlfriend had lots of fun.

Great way to explore the city!

We enjoyed this tour a lot. Driving around Warsaw in the old cars was a fun experiences. As we had already walked around the city center the previous day we chose the Communism Tour to see some other parts of Warsaw. Konrad our guide was both informative and entertaining. Definitely recommendable!

excellent guide

we had Lukas as our guide and his knowledge, wit and sense of fun made it a very enjoyable and different way to see a part of the city I normally would not notice. I highly recommend this tour. The busses are great fun and you get to know your fellow group members very quickly.

Really good fun. Reccomend!!

Really good value for money. Considering it gets you two drinks in the first bar and then a shot at every bar afterwards. Also a really great way to discover the nightlife the city has to offer. Went with my girlfriend and we met loads of great people and had a good time.

I was only in Warsaw for a couple of days on a conference so had limited time to 'see the sights'. The 'Warsaw by Night' cycle tour enabled us to see ~15kms of the city including so many places that we would never have found or come across otherwise. Our local tour guide was fab - his English was fluent and he was very friendly and welcoming. He gave us just about the right amount of information about Warsaw city life, culture and history --- all really really interesting (not at all boring to a non historian like myself). Highlights included cycling round the big parks, seeing the illuminated fountains and gas lanterns, cycling along the lit up royal route and seeing the beautiful view over the city from one of the bridges (we had a gorgeous sunset too which helped!) - we also saw the lit up football stadium. We stopped plenty of times (so good for photo opportunities) and (unlike other city cycle tours I’ve been on where distances could have been walked) this tour actually felt like a proper bike ride round a city with so much to see en route. Bikes were comfortable and in good condition – although it took a little while for me to get used to the back pedal braking! Overall, I would definitely definitely recommend this cycle tour to anyone visiting Warsaw who can / wants to ride a bike. I just wish I had had more time to do other cycle tours in different areas --- will definitely do if I return to Warsaw.

A tale of Poland’s quirky history ...

Although themed as a tour of Poland’s Communist past, it turned out to be far more than that. A thee-plus hour potted history of the country’s yesteryear, triumphant and tragic by turns, never dull or uninspiring. The story of daily life under the Communist regime was particularly amusing, but behind the smiles lay the misfortunes of a country that has seemingly never ceased to suffer. The lamentable treatment of the Jews and minorities in WWII, the Warsaw Ghetto, the Nazis, the futile and costly wartime uprisings against tyranny, the Soviets, all culminating in the rise and fall of Communism. And then, after the Communists were sent packing in the late-80s, a palpable sense of hope for Poland’s future as a proud, independent member of the European family. The history of a country covered with humility, respect, not to mention a great sense of humour. I enjoyed the tour very much.

Amazing Tour

We took a 3 hour self drive tour with Konrad. My partner wasn't too keen on the idea of a tour around Warsaw with me driving but by the end of it we were saying it was the best part of the holiday. The car is hilarious and you don't need to worry too much about driving around the busy roads as it seemed like Konrad did his best to keep us away from the worst roads. We were asked which kind of tour we wanted as there was an option of a few, we said we wanted a mix and that's exactly what we got. You get photos taken as you go around and these are brilliant, we love our photos with the little car. If/when we return to Warsaw I could definitely see us doing this tour again but seeing different sites as it really was that fun (and we aren't your average tour goers). The tour was excellent, the car was hilarious and Konrad had excellent knowledge.

How do you make a cold and snowy Monday morning enjoyable, informative and fun? Book Mario as your guide for a tour of Warsaw with this company!

He was very amiable and made the group feel like friends from the word go. The van was definitely an authentic 'bone shaker' but that just added to the journey in my opinion.

Mario was incredibly knowledgeable about Poland and its history, spoke excellent English and you could tell he had a thirst for good discussion (we even spoke about current affairs related to Poland!).

I would highly recommended this company and the unique spin placed on the tour - off the beaten track, with a guide who has an amazing library of information, lunch in a REAL Polish milk bar (we ate with the locals), and a ride in an original communist vehicle. A fabulous day, fantastic vfm.

We were picked up by the guide Mariusz in the old communist van, and to have a drive in that was an amazing experience in itself. Apart from that our guide was a person with an incredible knowledge about Warsaw, Poland and able to answer all of our many questions. His good sense of humour also added some spices to the tour. I have often heard firms claiming that what they do is untraditional, but it this case it REALLY was very untraditional and worth all the money. All the interesting stories and anecdotes you hear and the interesting places you see, and the authentic food you get which is actually real tasty. This is definitely a tour we will always remember for the good. I had never expected it to be SO interesting as it turned out to be. Try it, you wont regret it. Dont miss this experience.

Great introduction to Warsaw

Myself and two friends wanted to spend our first day in Warsaw getting an idea of its layout and learn some interesting facts about the city. This was the perfect tour. Our guide Lukasz was great - very polite, friendly and full of energy and knowledge. The weather was pretty grim - cold, windy with rain and snow and the vintage van really gave you an idea of how it must have been for people back in the 70's and 80's when vehicles didn't have any of today's mod cons. The tour itself was interesting and well paced and the lunch stop was perfect. The little museum of communist life was a nice addition - lots of trinkets and objects that people would have used in their everyday lives. I recommend the tour if you've not been to Warsaw before and want to spend a few hours getting to know the place.

Fantastic Class - Maria is wonderful!

My three daughters and I wanted to learn how to make some popular Polish food but without the longer 3-4 hour classes that are offered. Maria's pierogi class was perfect! We had six people in our English speaking class and it was from 10 am - 12 pm. She holds the class in a large room in her restaurant and has everything ready for you. Be ready to knead, roll, and cut dough; prepare various types of filling; and finally, she teaches you different patterns you can make while forming your pierogi. Of course, you get to taste them when you are finished cooking them! My daughters can't wait to return to the U.S. so we can make these at home. We made so many pierogi with Maria that we brought several back to our AirBnB to eat later. I Definitely recommend this experience!

Perfect tour

We did a tour in a small Fiat that brings back memories to a lot of polish people. The nice thing of the tour is that you are allowed to drive yourself. Our guide Marcin sat in the back and gave directions. He guided us to nice places around the city where we stopped and took a walk. Nice touch was to see some orginal architecture from the jewish getto. Marcin was an enthousiastic guide that worked really hard to make us feel comfortable and provide us information about warsaw's history. Nice extra service was that he took pictures of us which he later sended by email. These make a nice memory to a PERFECT experience!
