On our Must See Free Walking Tour we visit the top 3 attractions of Warsaw: the medieval Old Town, the Royal Route and the modern city centre with the monumental Palace of Culture.

The tour lasts 2.5 hours and offers a complete yet very manageable insight into the city. Numerous aspects are included. History plays an important role, but it will not dominate and weigh you down.
The different facets of Warsaw could not be more different. Boredom is not an option on this tour. There is something for everyone. The diversity makes this tour unique.

Topics covered

In addition to the sights, topics such as the medieval foundation of the city, the Warsaw Uprising, the Jewish heritage, the communist period and modern times are covered.
To conduct such a tour, you need guides with the special experience to put the individual parts together into a meaningful whole, but also the ability not to digress too much. Our guides have years of experience. Also we very strong listen to our guests, hear about their wishes and ideas and implement these into our tours.
