Warsaw born, licensed tour guide since 2017. Come with me and take a walk in the city! I love showing people around, as much as travelling the world myself. My hobbies revolve around music (I play guitar and drums), history, architecture and literature, among other things. I have also been working as a data analyst. At some point in my life I started to discover more and more interesting details about my surroundings. I learned the stories which shaped the world we live in today. Then, I decided to become a tour guide, in order to be able to tell other people about things I'm passionate about. Since I live in Warsaw, the city is my primary area of focus. A lot of people choose Warsaw for a quick city break, which I think, due to an excellent public transport and proximity of the airport, is a great idea. Or maybe you have a long layover in Warsaw and want to use the time to learn something about the city? I can guarantee that I'll find something to show you, even if we don't have much time. Regardless if you want to learn about the historical roots of the city, or which events are the cause of how it looks today - I am here for you. Or maybe you don't have anything specific in mind? Feel free to reach out to me and we can plan the tour according to your needs. Of course, in order to appeal to foreign tourists, on my tours I speak English. - licensed Warsaw tour guide (Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society PTTK, 2017) - certificate of proficiency in English (C2 level, CAE exam, 2016) - member of Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society I don't provide any vehicle, we will rely on public transport. I don't have a license to give tours in Royal Castle, National Musem, POLIN museum etc.

Explore landmark buildings from different periods, spanning across seven centuries of rich history on a tour with locals
Overview of your Warsaw tour
Wanna see how Warsaw merges together different historical periods? This tour will explain just that, we will start in the newest part of the city, and then we walk a 3-4 km route, which takes us back to its very beginnings. We will see the landmark buildings from each period, spanning across seven centuries of rich history. I'll show you what I find interesting about modern Warsaw skyscrapers, which decisions from decades ago dictate how they look today, and how pre-war landmarks contrast with their modern surroundings. We'll also see how today's city develops around all its parts, even the oldest ones. Meet the rich history of Warsaw, from 1280 when it was founded by the dukes of Mazovia and erected a castle so that they could control passage on the Vistula River till today. Prussians, Napoleon, Russia, hear the story of the "Phoenix City" a city that has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times and it is still today here, better and bigger than ever!

Marek's tour of Warsaw was phenomenal! His deep knowledge of Old Town's history and context made the experience truly enjoyable. I requested a customized tour that included Old Town, classical music focused on Chopin, and even threw him for a loop with my personal interests as a sneakerhead. He crafted the perfect tour, the 4 hours passed quickly. I am in love with Poland and Warsaw, largely thanks to this tour. Marek - thank you! Highly recommended. *****
