Private Tour: Warsaw's Communist History by Retro Fiat

Some day we may book a similar tour but certainly never one better! Olga was our tour guide and she was exceptional. Not only did she have a command of the subject matter but she was able to relate and share personal stories that her family endured during this time period. Amazing! This tour is well worth the money and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Warsaw. As this time period played such a vital role in the evolution of Poland as we know it today, one would be remiss not to include this in depth look into a very dark time in their history. Not only did Olga masterfully drive the little Fiat through the hectic streets of Warsaw but she was able to answer a barrage of questions we threw at her while doing so. She made it fun and highly informative. Very well done!

Our guide Pawel went out of his way to make sure we had a great time! Thank you Pawel - your knowledge is fantastic!

Wonderful tour! We learned so much about Warsaw and Polish history during this tour. Martin took us to places the usual tour companies do not do. We took a “city” tour with another tour company the next day, and it was not nearly as good. We were really glad we had done the communism tour the previous day because we had the background knowledge to fill in all the information the second tour guide left out. This tour is a must!

The tour guide started the tour asking us what we want to see, again i would have expected him to have an itinerary ready. We were then taken to the Praga district and shown many many buildings that had been stripped of decoration by Stalin. We were then also shown a picture of a "black market place" from the communist era. That was the extent of the Communist history of the tour. The remainder of the time was spent again just driving around the touristy parts of Warsaw with no reference to the Communist era at all and no itinerary being followed. The guide was very surprised when i asked to go to the Communist Museum which it then turned out was closed. Very disappointing and no value for money again.

Martin, our guide, was very nice and new a lot! Very interesting, really enjoyed it 👍 I would not hesitate do it again.

En spændende tur gennem Warszawas kommunistiske tid hvor vi fik meget af efterkrigstidens historie fortalt af en fantastisk guide. Turen var en god blanding af køretur og gåtur så vi rigtigt kunne se stederne tæt på. Han kunne også berette om personlige oplevelser, da han var født før overgangen til kapitalisme. Han viste os også hvor store kontraster der stadig er i byen. Det hele foregik på engelsk. Turen gik forbi mange steder som har betydet meget for kommunismen og om hvordan mange ting blev skabt som en facade for ikke at skabe uro i byen. En tur der helt klart kan anbefales- den er alle penge værd😊😊
