Knowledgeable Marcin made this tour worthwhile - We booked this tour last minute and were hesitant as although we know some history of WWII, I wouldn't classify us as History buffs. Marcin our guide picked us up at our hotel promptly in his Zuk and it was immediate that he definitely knew his subject matter. However, at no time was he boring or did it feel like a lecture. It was more of a conversation. His informal way of explaining things made this tour excellent. He answered all our questions and took us to places - well away from the tourist spots and off the tourist maps. Could highly recommend this tour regardless of your knowledge level of the History of WWII, Poland or indeed Europe. We have come from this tour with a much greater understanding of that time period and how it reflects on todays struggles. Highly recommended. Marcin was a great guide who I would gladly tour with again.

Warsaw sights and scenes from world war 2 - an easy 3 hour learning and exploring experience - It was a great 3 hours plus spent learning the history of Warsaw during the world war era. Our guide, Marcin Grabowski was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in answering all our questions. We spent time covering many of the historical sites and learning of the atrocities committed by the Nazis. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a quick history lesson while visiting and learning and seeing the different areas of Warsaw. The tour is in an old car/van from the era and you get down a few times to visit certain spots. A big thumbs up to Marcin👍

Fun and informative - Our tour guide was great and very informative. He drove us around Warsaw and showed us many things that are of historical significance that otherwise are very easy to miss. His inclusion of photos from the past which he showed us while we were at the same location made the tour very interesting. We really enjoyed his retro mini bus, which was comfortable and warm. I highly recommend booking a tour with him.
