Your guide Antoni
Antoni has been a licensed city guide since 2013 and founder of this tourism portal. He was born in Poland in 1984 and grew up in Germany. He speaks English fluently.
He has been living and working in Warsaw since 2012, after completing his law studies at the University of Bielefeld. As becoming a lawyer was very difficult across countries, he turned his attention to the tourism industry. In 2017, he finally founded Walking Poland Group – Walking Warsaw. His dream came true!
Antoni says about himself that his Polish heart pumps blood into the German brain. His Polish and German perspectives mix and complement each other to form a whole picture full of interesting conclusions, which he is happy to pass on to his guests.
On his city tours, he enjoys talking to tourists and is very grateful for every unexpected question.

How to get
The tour
The guide will start the tour on time. However, if you are a few minutes late, look out for the white umbrella. At least 10 minutes after the start of the tour, you will surely find the guide still on Castle Square.
You will first go to the Royal Gardens of the Royal Castle, then to the Panorama Terrace on the medieval Dung Hill, where you can enjoy a view to the Praga district and the Vistula river. The main sight is the Market Square and the Barbican.
All of this is reconstructed.
In the New Town is located the birthplace of Marie Curie. The end of the tour is at the Monument of the Warsaw Uprising.
Take the opportunity to ask the guide about insider tips. He is more than happy to help.
We wish you a pleasant and informative tour!
End point
The tour ends at the Warsaw Uprising Memorial. From there it is an 8-minute walk to the starting point or 5 minutes to reach the Market Square.
For further details, please ask the city guide, who will be happy to help after the tour.
