5 Best Warsaw Bike Tours 2021 - Best Tours in Warsaw

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.

Good Evening Bike Tour of Warsaw

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.

Vista on the Vistula

Fantastic and very personal tour along the Vistula in Warsaw.
Benefiting from beautiful weather, we were joined by 2 others for a fascinating insight into a part of Warsaw you are u likely to see otherwise. The Wild River our takes you almost to the outskirts of the city for amazing views before bringing you back in to the centre. Both the WOW Warsaw and the river tour are highly recommended.

I particularly enjoyed the Vistula tour however, as there was the perfect balance between cycling and talking.

The 'city bikes' have a slightly odd breaking system, but you quickly adapt to it and the bikes are comfortable.

The bike tour of Jewish Warsaw was one of the highlights of our trip! The guide was very knowledgeable, knew a lot and found a very good way of telling us. The bikes were good for biking the city, and it was good to have a guide to show us the best bikeable paths and ways through the city. Also, the guide took up our wishes and adapted the tour to our interest. Thanks a lot for this great tour. I highly recommend it to anybody that knows how to ride a bike and travels to Warsaw, whether for the first time or as a repeat visitor.

Our tour guide Gavel gave us an in-depth historical tour of Jewish Warsaw. This was extremely important to my understanding of Warsaw's very recent history. What once was a huge part of culture in Warsaw, the Jewish community, is now very small, and this happened so recently. This tour is crucial to realize what has been nearly eliminated from a city, which may go unnoticed without the tour. Highly recommend it. And Gavel is an extremely nice and intelligent person. Thanks!

I was in Warsaw for a work trip and had a free Sunday. You can definitely see a lot more on a bike than you can walking. The biking itself was rather easy and laid back. We made many stops along the way, including some Chopin sights, old town, a library, the east side beach, and the stadium. There is one longer break mid-point for refreshments and to walk around the garden/library. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is comfortable on a bike.

Gawel took my wife on a simply wonderful tour of what was the Jewish Ghetto of Warsaw. He is happy to share his vast knowledge of Warsaw's Jews in the 1940's. The tour is highlighted with historic photos that are essential as very very little of the Ghetto exists. Bikes are the most expedient way to get from spot to spot. He even mentioned a terrific Vietnamese restaurant a stones throw from the place where the tour begins and ends.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Warsaw. Our guide was informative, knowledgeable and passionate about the city. We got much more of a feel for the city than we ever would from just walking around.

For those who are nervous about biking - the majority of the biking was in parks, cycle lanes and on pavements and all leisurely pace so don't let that put you off.

A brilliant 3 hours!

Great way to see spots

We booked the tour at the last minute on a holiday weekend and started the tour at 5:30 which was a nice time since there were not many people out. Riding the bikes also seemed a more peaceful way to visit the sites and learn the sad history of places. Better tan getting in and out of a van. Our guide was very knowledgable of the Jewish history

We had an absolutely fascinating bike tour of Warsaw during which our erudite and entertaining guide presented the background to the communist takeover of the city following the Second World War. I would highly recommend the tour for people who enjoy some gentle cycling and wish to learn more about this amazing city. Very highly recommended.

The night bike tour of Warsaw was a winner. The guide Gawel was fantasic with just the right amount of information and touring. Visited interesting parts of the city you would not normally see. Much better to do this bike ride at night in summer without the sun. Enjoy the lights instead.

This tour was a fantastic way to see Warsaw. Michal is very knowledgeable about his city and was able to teach us a lot in a short period of time. If you only have a few free hours in Warsaw, I highly recommend this tour as a great way to cover the major sites (and have fun doing so)!
