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.
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!
