Guide #23287

Hello! My name is Jola. I live in Warsaw and I am fascinated with this place. That's why, some 20 years ago, I decided to study Warsaw history, architecture, culture, etc. to become a fully-qualified city guide. Some time ago, after years spent in international corporations, I gave it up and became a full-time tour guide. I've also engaged, as a volunteer, in documenting architectural details of old tenement houses in Warsaw and regular cleaning works on the historical Jewish cemetery. I love traveling, meeting new people, discovering different cultures and traditions. I am easy going and energetic person, passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with other people. I always try to make my guests feel like they're spending time with a friend. I'm eager to share with you my passion for Warsaw. I'd like to tell you the story of the rich, elegant city which almost disappeared from the Earth during WW2, but then was reborn like the Phoenix , the city formed by the communists in accordance with their ideology, the city that changed completely its face after 1989. I'd like to follow with you the traces of Frederic Chopin, Maria Curie, Icchak Singer, admire beautiful royal residences: Wilanow and Lazienki, and visit the places perfect for taking a deep breath and relax. You may find inspiration for a tour in one of my descriptions. If you have your own suggestions, contact me directly - we together will work out the best plan based on your interests and expectations. I will be happy to host you in Warsaw as your personal tour guide. Come over and be my guest! * Warsaw tour guide - governmental license, 2003 * Tour leader - governmental license, 2005 * POLIN Museum of the History of the Polish Jews - licensed guide * Frideric Chopin museum - licensed guide * Certificates of English language knowledge Important: I'm fully VACCINATED against COVID-19. My car (Opel Zafira) can fit up to 6 people. Please inquire for larger groups.

    Yola provided an extraordinary professional tour regarding the reconstruction of Warsaw. She is deeply knowledgeable beyond the Guide books about the history of reconstruction regarding all its phases, focus, cultural, political, and economic dimensions. She was unflagging in her ability to respond to a wide variety of questions. Anyone with a serious interest in the...

    We enjoyed our tour of Warsaw with Jola immensely! She was extremely knowledgeable about the city’s history and brought it to life in a way that was engaging, easy to understand, and “just enough” to give us a true appreciation for the Polish people and their past. Jola was incredibly accommodating, from meeting us at our hotel to tailoring the sights and pace of the...
