5Worth the price
Peter was an excellent guide. He gave a lot of great information about the city and highlighted the important points of interest on the tour. It would help if he had something to amplify his voice though because it could be difficult to hear him because of the background noise.
5Great guide
Peter was a great guide Can recommend it!
5SUPERB
Superb! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and prepared, providing dozens of pre and post WWll photographs with him. With his dialogue and photographic aids, we were able to get a real sense of the destruction of Warsaw and appreciate its beauty today.

About Warsaw
Warsaw is Poland's capital on the Vistula River, a city carefully rebuilt after the Second World War, with a restored old town, palaces and modern towers.
Warsaw was almost entirely destroyed in the Second World War, and its Old Town was rebuilt brick by brick from paintings and plans, work that earned it a UNESCO listing. Castle Square, with the Royal Castle and Sigismund's Column, leads into the market square, where a mermaid, the city's symbol, stands guard. The Palace of Culture and Science, a Soviet-era skyscraper of 1955, still dominates the skyline.
Top-ranked sights in Warsaw: Warsaw Old Town (Stare Miasto), Palace of Culture and Science (Palac Kultury i Nauki), Praga.
