Hello there [Cześć!], I am Tomasz, a passionate and licensed city guide born and raised in Warsaw. Warsaw is my home, my inspiration, and my playground. I have been guiding since 2012 and turned my passion into a profession in 2017. I graduated in 2018 with a degree in Artistic Education through Fine Arts, and I’m currently pursuing Dramatic Acting at the National School of Dramatic Arts in Warsaw. To enhance my expertise, I also completed a six-month professional guide training course. My tours are more than just historical facts—they are immersive stories that bring the city to life. As someone deeply connected to art, theater, and film, I aim to create experiences that are engaging, insightful, and full of personality. I believe that every street, building, and hidden corner of Warsaw has a tale to tell, and I love sharing these stories in a way that is both entertaining and meaningful. I offer both walking tours and bike tours, depending on how you’d like to explore the city. We can also take advantage of Warsaw’s public transportation system—it’s fast, clean, and reliable, making it easy to move between different districts while experiencing the city like a local. One of my special projects is the Warsaw Coffee Tour, a unique way to experience the city through its thriving coffee culture. As a coffee enthusiast, I collaborate with Warsaw’s finest cafés and roasteries to offer visitors a fresh perspective on the city—one cup at a time. Whether you’re a coffee lover or just looking for an unconventional tour, this experience blends history, culture, and local flavors in a relaxed and enjoyable way. Outside of guiding, I express myself through drawing and painting, and I’m always inspired by Warsaw’s and Polish dynamic art scene. I have a deep appreciation for theater and film, and my studies in acting allow me to bring an extra layer of storytelling into my tours. I also love long walks, discovering new places, and meeting people from all over the world—because every conversation adds something new to my understanding of the city. Getting to know people from different parts of the world is like traveling to the places they come from, and I find that incredibly enriching. I’ve had the chance to visit the United States, the UK, Germany, France, Sweden, Lithuania, and Ukraine, and these experiences have only deepened my curiosity about different cultures and perspectives. I speak Polish and English fluently, and I also have basic knowledge of Russian and French. Whether you’re visiting Warsaw for the first time or looking for a new way to experience the city, I’d love to be your guide. Let’s explore Warsaw together, discovering its history, culture, and vibrant local life in a way that feels personal, engaging, and unforgettable!
