Must See | Private Tour 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 🇪🇸

Book a private walking tour to the Must See attractions in Warsaw. Visit the three most important landmarks of the city: the 237-meter-high-tall Palace of Culture, the magnificent Royal Route, and the picturesque Old Town. Explore Warsaw in all its diversity, from the Middle Ages to modern times.

During our must-see walking tour, we show the top three attractions in Warsaw: the 237 m high Palace of Culture and its surroundings, the Royal Route and the Old Town.

The tour lasts three hours and offers a complete yet easily manageable overview of the city. It covers various aspects without overwhelming you. History plays an important role, but it will not dominate or weigh you down.

Three Faces of Warsaw, One Story

The three segments come together to form a cohesive narrative: the medieval charm of the Old Town, the contemporary essence of the Royal Route, and the modern city centre with the impressive Palace of Culture.

To make it logistically most convenient for you, we start at the Palace of Culture in the city centre, where there are two metro stations in the immediate vicinity and where pretty much all bus and tram lines meet. The tour ends in the Old Town on the Market Square. From here you can easily find a bar, pub or a polish restaurant.

During this tour there is a relaxed atmosphere, we explain everything in a tourist-friendly way and adapt to your wishes and interests. We don’t have a list that we have to tick off in order.
