Summary: What an amazing and interesting tour! In our time in Poland, we did many walking tours, but I'm so happy we did this tour. The guide is so knowledgeable about the history of Warsaw and especially the banks of the Vistula River. He is a really great guy, super down to Earth and easy to talk to. I absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who is active and is looking for a new way to see Warsaw, Poland.
