My name is Tomek and I have been a tour guide as well as cultural and Polish language coach for about ten years now. Born and bred in Warsaw, I have a deep passion for Polish culture, history and heritage, and I also know my home city inside out. Yes, definitely every district and almost every street. I specialize in "reality tours" showing mainly places off the beaten track and indulging travellers in real Warsaw ambience. I work with single travelers, couples, families, the elderly and the disabled. I can accommodate Warsaw visitors on any budget, and I am able to do day, evening or night tours on any day of the week. Leisure or business, rain or shine! You can be driven in my car or in a hired van, we can have a bicycle or scooter ride, take public transport or walk. I also possess international traveling experience having visited more than 50 countries on most continents, and I do know what travelers look for and what types of places they like sightseeing. School- visits, meeting locals, visiting local bars and markets, cooking tours and courses are just a few I can include on your tour list. Alternatively, please let me know of any special requests you have. Then I will be able to customize the trip according to your interests. Hope to see you in Poland! Tomek I have a university degree in English Literature obtained in 2003, QTS for England and Wales no. 1742174, First Aid Licence and I have also completed a course for Organisers and Leaders of School Trips. I am not able to guide you inside of some historical monuments.

Overview of your Warsaw tour

This is a full day 8-hour walking tour. During the walk, I will be telling you about the most important Jewish places in Warsaw. The Ghetto area, the Synagogue, and the Jewish Cemetery are just a few places on the tour list. At some point, we will also sit down for a slow food lunch in a Jewish menu restaurant. During this tour, you will be able to experience the most significant landmarks in Warsaw associated with Jewish culture and heritage, both in the past and nowadays. You will also be able to see the Old and New Town areas and Lazienki Park and Palace. This tour is perfect for everyone, but may be a real gem for those with Jewish origin. I have already managed to find the tombs of my travellers' ancestors at the Jewish Cemetery in Warsaw - a beautiful memorial place located right where the Warsaw Jewish quarter was located before WWII. This was always very touching and emotional.
