I organize Warsaw city tours, as well as tours of Warsaw surroundings and other places of interest in Poland. I can tailor each tour to clients' preferences (walking, car tour or mixed), budget and comfort or … you can just simply rely on my experience and choose one of the suggested tour options. I was born and raised in Warsaw (but had a chance to study in NYC), in the family of professional tour guides.

Having a professional tour guide that is both friendly and professional, fun to be with, and knowledgeable makes a tour a special place for learning. I would recommend Margaret for a walking tour in Warsaw. I leave with a better understanding of the city's history and of its people. Well done.
