Our guide Konrad collected us from our hotel in a fabulous old Fiat car. We first visited the Palace of Culture where Konrad impressed us with his detailed knowledge of the place. We then travelled across Warsaw looking at many fascinating places from the Communist era and the second World War. We ate a wonderful lunch at a tatty old cafe that we would never have chosen ourselves. They did a great line in Vodka also! The tour was a great experience and value for money. Well done Konrad.

Description

Feel the spirit of communist Poland while cruising around Warsaw in the iconic automobile of the 70s and 80s – the Fiat 125p. You’ll be chauffeured by a professional driver-guide who’ll introduce you to the city’s communist past.

During the journey your guide will share entertaining facts about life under communism, how things have changed and what it means to be Polish today.

You’ll visit the Palace of Culture and Science – the hulking symbol of communist Warsaw – and learn about its construction, hear some anecdotes and discover why it’s called Stalin’s “gift”.

Afterwards, you’ll see Stalin-era architecture at the Constitution Square and visit a unique communist-era housing district. You’ll also see the amazing Ministry of Agriculture in the communist ministerial district, hear fascinating stories about the headquarters of the communist party and learn what it’s used for now.

Later on, you’ll get to have some pierogi or another meal at one of the city’s milk bars – communist-themed restaurants that serve traditional homemade cuisine.

During the journey, you’ll be treated to a shot of the best traditional vodka.

You’ll be driven back to your hotel after the tour.

Awesome Tour and Guide!!
for Warsaw Communism Tour in a Retro Fiat
I completely recommend taking this tour whilst in Warsaw. Not only was it great fun driving around in our little blue Fiat 126 but our guide and host, Konrad was exceptional. He must of completed this tour with customers hundreds of times but you never got that feeling. He was engaging, funny and so enthusiastic towards the knowledge he offered whilst we were visiting each site. It's not often that learning about history is so much fun but this was and that's down to Konrad.
The Milk bar we stopped in was also a great experience to hear about how they started and got to taste some traditional pierogi which I have to say was very tasty!
Overall, if your uncertain about paying for this trip then don't hesitate and just book it as you'll be certain to enjoy it!!
Thanks Konrad and thanks Warsaw for such and amazing experience.

Great tour to learn about the history of the Jewish people of Poland
for Warsaw Jewish Heritage Tour in a Retro Fiat
Marcin picked us up from the hotel and took us on a very thorough and well informed tour focusing on the Jewish history in Poland during WW II. We went to the few remaining homes inner courtyards where we could truly imagine the life of people as the ghetto became more and more crowded. Then we went to the many memorials and landmarks and finally to the cemetery. All the while Marcin was showing us pictures he brought with him and giving us thorough explanations. I would highly recommend this tour. Such a powerful telling of the Jewish people's struggle for survival.

Informative and Enjoyable
for Warsaw Jewish Heritage Tour in a Retro Fiat
This tour was an excellent introduction to Jewish life in Warsaw before, during and after the Nazi occupation.The tour guide provided a wealth of information and was able to answer all of our questions about the history of Jewish life in the Ghetto. We visited many of the sites that we would have not known about if not for this tour. I would highly recommend this.

An impressive private Tour: Warsaw's Jewish Heritage by Retro Fiat
for Warsaw Jewish Heritage Tour in a Retro Fiat
Our tour guide Marcin was helpful, very knowledgeable and friendly. He really knows a lot of information about the Jewish history and answered all our questions. Marcin picked us up at the hotel and he was a guide who did not look at his watch - he took time for everything. We found the Jewish cemetry the most impressive. We absolutely can recommend this tour!

Excellent way to experience Warsaw
for Warsaw Self-Drive Communism Tour in a Retro Fiat
We had a great time with Konrad, who took us on a tour of the communism era history of Poland and Warsaw. He was polite, interested and well prepared. It was a pleasure to talk with him. The little Fiat was amazing fun to drive, I'd forgotten how much effort steering an old car can be! Taking the tour in a symbol of the era adds real depth to the experience. Excellent!

Perfect tour
for Warsaw Self-Drive Communism Tour in a Retro Fiat
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!
