Good tour, even better recommendations - Our guide (I think his name was Michal) was there with body and soul, very humorous and competent. The best: Its Pdf, which can be scanned via QR code, full of recommendations and I was not disappointed once.

Lots of talking. - A lot of walking and talking. The tour guide need not constantly remind us that she is dependent on tips and how highly educated she is. Comes across as needy and arrogant.

Proud Warsovian guide - Our guide was certainly entertaining, reenacting medieval sword fights with his umbrella as a sword and bag as a shield. That was memorable :) Somehow, however, we found his patriotism, or rather, Warsawism, a bit too much for us. I appreciate, that's a matter of taste, but it wasn't to our taste.
