Praga by Locals Paid Tour

Time: you choose

Duration: 2 hrs

Starting Point: St. Florian’s Cathedral

Some say that Praga is a city within a city with a real spirit of the past, spared from the destruction during WW2. Few years ago it became a hip place to be, filled with trendy cafes, bars and shops. At the same time, it’s authentic, old and rundown in many areas. For this reason, street artists love it. Praga is not an obvious choice for everyone but as locals, we can assure you it’s worth a try.

    Meet the Phoenix city. Warsaw was among the cities which suffered most during World War II. The city and its inhabitants experienced the horror of bombings, the terror of everyday life under the eye of SS but also courageously fought in two uprisings: the 1943 Jewish Ghetto Uprising and the 1944 Warsaw Uprising.

    • Went to three tours with Orange Umbrella guys: Old Warsaw, WW2 and Alternative Praga.
      Beata was our guide in old town and WW2 and she had lots and lots of stories to tell about the city and its history.
      Peter guided our 2 h trip to Praga district. His english was really good and easy to understand. All in all the tour was nice, but I was hoping to hear more stories from alternative point of view. I felt that this tour did not match so well with description.

    • Don’t miss the opportunity to join one of the Walking Tours – They’re great. So informative and so enlightening. We would never miss an opportunity to have a walkabout with them. They really add to the enjoyment of your holiday.

    • It was a bit rainy at the day when I took this tour so only 6 people came, but that made tour very engaging. Begining was a bit boring, but don’t judge book from its cover. Later tour became more and more interesting. Anna did very good job and told many interesting and unexpected facts. She also answered many questions from the group. After this tour I went to Copernicus Science Centre which is very interesting place. But when I was there I felt that tour was so good and I would better go on one more tour than this centre. Big thanks to Anna. Dziękuję bardzo 🙂
