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.

Overview of your Warsaw tour

This is the combination of the walking/driving tour during the day (3 hours) and the chamber piano concert in the evening. You will see the places in the city where Frederic lived with his family, where he was educated, where he was giving his first concerts and used to spend his free time. Finally I will show you the church where his heart is buried. You will hear Chopin's music directly on the streets from surprising multimedia benches. We will go to beautiful Lazienki Garden where you will see the world-famous monument of the great composer and can attend open-air piano recital (if available, see info below). Then you can individually visit Chopin's museum, the most modern biographical museum in Europe. As the certified museum guide, I can guide you around the exhibition (this is an option, paid additionally). Later on, around 6. 30 pm, I will pick you up for the Chopin's music concert, which starts at 7. 00 pm and then I will drive you back to your hotel.

Your Warsaw tour itinerary

- Chopin's Route around the historical city center, with palaces and churches, including the Saski Square, the Kazimierzowski Palace at Warsaw University campus, the Presidential Palace, and the Saint Cross Church where the composer's heart was buried - The Lazienki Garden with Chopin's monument, where you can attend an open-air piano recital (available every Sunday from May to September at 12. 00 and 16. 00) - Chopin's Museum (optional, closed on Mondays) - 7. 00 pm - the concert of Chopin music performed by excellent artists, in a very special place - the building where Frederic, then a teenager, played the piano during a charity concert. * I also recommend visiting Chopin's birthplace in the countryside - see my tour no. 409125 "Chopin's Birthplace and His Other Footsteps in the Countryside Private Tour". They both can be combined. Please email me for the details.
