Best of Warsaw - private tour by retro minibus with hotel pickup
This private tour lets you experience the city comfortably, without any rush, according to your needs. We could describe it as a "slow tour", despite our communist cars can still go pretty fast! This is a perfect choice if you prefer to avoid squeezing in with other guests and keep your tempo. First, the guide brings to light the basics at the walk at Warsaw Old Town: medieval trade paths, the first republic and last hopes, rise and fall of Poland - it’s all there. Next, take a picturesque ride over the Vistula river to the Praga district, the only original pre-WWII piece of Warsaw. Find the beloved streets by filmmakers and witness the transformation of derelict tenement houses into retro luxury apartments. Finally, pass by the National Stadium and drive back to the city centre to discover the post-WWII reconstruction of Warsaw. Aim for soviet-style architecture, overwhelming squares and see the changes after the communist system collapsed in 1989.

Old Town
The Old Town is an excellent start to discovering Warsaw. On the walk, you see Castle Square, where the story of Warsaw started more than 700 years ago. The king who believed to have both Polish and Swedish thrones, old trade paths and signs of German gothic era settlers. There is so much to find!
King Sigismund's Column (Kolumna Zygmunta)
Sigismund's Column, originally erected in 1644, is located in Castle Square, one of Warsaw's most famous landmarks. The column and statue commemorate King Sigismund III Vasa, who in 1596 had moved Poland's capital from Kraków to Warsaw.
Royal Castle in Warsaw - Museum
The Royal Castle in Warsaw is a castle residency that formerly served throughout the centuries as the official residence of the Polish monarchs. We do not visit interiors on the tour. Burned and looted by the Nazi Germans following the Invasion of Poland in 1939 and almost completely destroyed in 1944 after the failed Warsaw Uprising, the Castle was completely rebuilt and reconstructed.

Additional Information
If your pickup location is not present in the selection box, please send the address to the tour operator. Please note that transfer from and to the hotel counts into the tour's total time. Therefore, sometimes it is better to meet the guide in the city centre, rather than spend the time transferring from the far-located hotel.
