Definitely do it - Olivia did a great job from start to finish. Stated at the start that she would be true Warsaw sarcastic and she was. Very informative and entertaining so kept your attention nearly all the time. A bit hard on the old town prices as they were not as bad as she made out, though they were probably a lot higher than a local would pay. Highly recommend.

Book it! - Our guide, Jacek, was excellent. We had some rain, but he kept us moving and engaged. The 2.5+ hours flew by. He did a great job sharing a cohesive narrative of the city's history as we visited many different sights and landmarks. We really enjoyed his jokes, too! Tour was very accessible, suitable for most people. Book it!

Entertaining, but could be much more informative - Guide was a good storyteller, but could have packed twice as much history, cultural color, architectural information, etc. into a two hour tour.
