Must-do sites in Warsaw - private tour by retro minibus with hotel pickup

Overview

This private Warsaw sightseeing tour is perfect for travelers who want to start their visit with a comprehensive overview of the city, while enjoying more flexibility and comfort than a standard walking tour. Your guide meets you at your hotel or apartment and welcomes you aboard a vintage Żuk minibus—an iconic Polish vehicle that adds character, mobility, and a unique historical atmosphere to the experience.

The drive toward Warsaw Old Town provides your first panoramic introduction to the city and an opportunity to get acquainted with your guide. The walking portion begins at Castle Square, as vehicle access is restricted within the Old Town. From the Middle Ages to modern times, you’ll explore Warsaw’s most important historic sites, including Castle Square, the Royal Castle, Old Town Market Square, St. John’s Archcathedral, the Barbican, and many smaller but meaningful details often missed by visitors.

Throughout the tour, learn about Warsaw’s destruction during World War II, its extraordinary postwar reconstruction, and the impact of the communist period on the city’s architecture and urban planning. As this is a private tour, the itinerary can be adjusted within the time limit to match your interests. Traveling by car allows you to cover more ground efficiently and include additional highlights whenever possible.
