Feel the vibe of a former Polish communist state on this 3 hours private tour with our guide and retro minibus. Stories about the black market, an idea of a garden city of Warsaw and new communist ideology combined with proper context and communist car will bring these past days back to life.
Guide collects you for the hotel with a unique retro minibus called Żuk (the beetle). Ten miles per gallon, wooden floor and produced in communist Poland – all that adds a meaningful piece of reality to your experience. Each stop represents different parts of communist Poland’s history - from the dusk of WWII and post-war reconstruction of Warsaw through the rough ‘60s and ‘70s to the first free elections on the 4th of June 1989. Disclose the secrets of communist Poland, learn how people managed to survive in the central-steered economy and find relics from those days in Warsaw.
Palace of Culture and Science, Constitution sq, former Communist Party HQ and more red stars are on the list.

Palace of Culture and Science
The first stop is a monumental Palace of Culture and Science, the undisputed symbol of Warsaw. It was built in 1952-1955 as a gift from the Soviet Union to the people of Poland. Varsovians still commonly use nicknames to refer to the Palace, notably "Beijing", "clown", and "nightmarish dream of a drunk confectioner".
Warsaw, before WWII, was a typical European city shaped by capitalism. Thousands of victorian era tenement houses covered the city centre, pushing the proletariat out of the central districts. So when those people got power in 1945, they wanted an act of revenge. So did the modernist architects. One of their first achievements is the Muranów district, a green and spacious neighbourhood built in the late 1940s.

In 3 hours, Tom gave us an incredible bus tour of Warsaw incorporating elements history, culture, and geography into a very thorough overview of key sites, landmarks, and monuments. Not only was he very knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions, but he was incredibly warm, welcoming, and personable. In addition to the bus portion of the tour, we took a walk through Old Town where Tom explained all the details you’d miss out on without a guide. We would absolutely recommend this tour, especially with Tom - he does an amazing job!

Our guide was excellent. He enthusiastically shared his knowledge, taking us places and adding nuance to history that can’t be found in books or documentaries. History can be a gut punch and probably should be. I appreciated every minute of his time.

We had our Warsaw city tour today with Marcin and it was AMAZING. Not only was he so knowledgeable about the events before WW2 but had so many great things to show us about the Ghetto uprising the the Warsaw uprising of 1944. He had a great sense of humour and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him. I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody planning a trip to Warsaw.
