    Tour Highlights

    Reviews

    • I took 2 tours with them – Old Town with Beata, and WWII with Gawel, both incredible.
      Such a difficult topic as the destruction and reconstruction of Warsaw, the War, etc and both guides were very informative, nice, super positive attitude.
      Can only say it’s super worth it to follow that orange umbrella around 🙂

    • A very professional guide Beata, with a great historical background provided an extremely documented tour, full of essential historical facts presented on a chronological way + essential moments rementioned according the standing spot.

    • We signed up to the world war 2 tour in the square which was nice and easy. Our tour guide (Peter) was just fantastic throughout. He made us feel so at ease and excited about learning about Warsaw. He obviously was very intelligent and knew so much. He was so passionate about teaching us and nothing was too much trouble especially with all the questions we asked. We can’t recommend this tour enough and if you’re lucky enough you will be on a tour with Peter! Thank you so much we had a great time!

    • Pete our tour guide was excellent! We had the 1:30 tour on April 25. It was very enjoyable and informative. We attended an Orange Umbrella tour last year and it too was excellent. Will do another before leaving Warsaw within the next few weeks! Free but we encourage a well deserved gratuity!!!!

    • I did the WWII tour with Anna! She was amazing. A great story teller. She was able to tell some personal stories as her grandparents survived the war. She was a true local to Warsaw, born and raised. She was able to share the history of the war while sharing stories of what the population during the war had to endure. She also gave recommendations for food places and other top sights to see. Orange umbrella has other tours as well. HIGHLY Recommend using this company!
