Poland is always a country I would like to explore. Before I went to Poland, I was under the impression that Poland has a rather deep and heavy history, due to the Nazi period with the concentration camp and holocaust... This time I am very thankful to have Lukasz as our tour guide to show me the prosperous period of Poland in the late 17th and 18th century. With his detailed illustrations about the old town, it gave me an excellent picture of how people living in the past. And one thing I like the most, is the architecture, the Royal Castle is excellent, with its glamorous Royal design and elegant setting, you would experience how prosperous Poland once was. Warsaw old town was classified as the UNESCO World heritage site, and it is a must see destination for anyone visiting Warsaw!! I am deeply impressed by Lukasz for helping me to understand Poland more, especially how prosperous once was and how it strive after the Second World War. I am really touched by how Polish people fight for their own right during Warsaw Uprising. And no doubt, I would strongly recommend you to choose Lukasz as your tour guide if you visit Warsaw :)I got a private tour due to the fact that Warsaw isn't this popular with tourists this time of the year. Lukasz is a very engaging and knowledgable tour guide and it was nice to learn more about Warsaw and Poland from him. Can definitely recommend this tour.

Can’t say enough about our guide Lukasz. He was punctual, personable, open minded, humorous and loaded with information. We gained immense insight into the history of Warsaw particularly the destruction World War II brought (in both human and material terms) and the rebuilding that followed. It was also great to experience the beauty of the city with our walk through the King’s Gardens. We were 4 adult siblings traveling together and came home with a greater appreciation for the country of our ancestors. Thank you Lukasz.This was one of the best walking tours i have been in. Lucas was amazing....pleasant, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable on the complete tour. Highly recommend this!
