for Communism Tour of Warsaw

Thanks to our guides (Tomek en Mario), the communist tour was amazing. Learned somthing about the Polish culture, drank some wodka shots and enjoyed the driving style of our two guides. In short the best way to see something else than the standard touristic Warsaw parts!

Fascinating tour!

This was a fascinating tour of Warsaw from the perspective of life in the city during the communist period. Our tour guide was Martin and despite being too young to remember anything from the communist period personally he was very knowledgeable. Martin started the tour by referring back to the Nazi period and explaining how the communists took control of Poland at the end of World War 2. We then visited several locations around the city representing important landmarks from the communist period, including having a light lunch in one of Warsaw's famous "milk" bars -- don't worry, the end of the tour in the Museum Of Communist Life included a shot (or two) of vodka. We really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to anyone who wants an alternative perspective on Warsaw.
