Educational and informative! The guide squeezed in a lot of information within a small.space of 45mins trip. I learnt a lot about the history of Warsaw and this impressive bundling. The helicopter view of the city from terrace was exquisite. I took plenty of pics even though it was damm freezing cold!

Had an absolutely great time and met amazing people. The guides Adam, Rafał, Kasia and Juliusz were awesome and helped get the party started with games and social activities for people to get out of their comfort shell. Would love to do it again next time I'm in Warsaw.

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour! A great way to see part of the city (especially on a cold day!) The tour guide's quirkiness, jokes and general commentary about the city made this extra fun :)
