Whatever you do when you’re in Warsaw - book this tour!!! John welcomed us onto the motorboat and we were immediately met by a friendly and professional tour guide. He is an absolute master at creating excitement and getting the adrenaline flowing. The sharp turns, full speed, and information stops made for a really enjoyable tour. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t regret it.

Our guide was very kind, however we were only given a map and weren’t informed of any of the landmarks. I’m not sure if that’s the norm or not, but other reviews mentioned how their guide was very informative. I couldn’t fault how friendly he was- but wasn’t as informative as I had thought from reviews read before booking

Our guide is so nice and the tour is amazing, definitely one of the highlights of our Warsaw trip. We love this activity so much, it was a wonderful merge of culture (because the guide would share Warsaw history) and excitement!

Met some nice people. Captain was young but very nice. Did give some information about what we were viewing. Boat was rickety and smelled of gasoline and exhaust. Still enjoyed ourselves. Price was aligned with the experience.
