  Lukasz led a friend and I on a custom tour of Warsaw, with a focus on the Praga District. To start, he asked us about what we were interested to... read more see that day, and worked the day around that. We covered lots of ground! Highlights included seeing some sites where “The Pianist” was filmed, walking around and lunch in the Praga district, and storied details around Lazienki park. We also stopped for yummy local snacks and beverages, and we ended back at our city apartment. It was a full, fascinating, and beautiful day with Lukasz.

  I recently took the Warsaw Ghetto Remains Tour with Lukasz and it was an absolute pleasure. Lukasz was a very engaging guide who made easy conversation and showed this part... read more of Warsaw’s history in a way that made it very real.

It covers multiple spots where you will have a chance to see WWII remains mix with the new Warsaw. Lukasz was happy to answer all questions and shared such a vast knowledge of the people, places and events of this time period. After the tour was over, I was hoping it would go on for longer! Thank you so much Lukasz!

  Łukasz is an excellent guide! He is easygoing, flexible and above all: he knows his stuff. Łukasz points out different objects, he tells short stories rather than summarising dull... read more facts and he shows hidden gems that you would otherwise pass by. Also, Praga is a district worth visiting, very nice vibe. Definitely recommend!

  Lukas is a great person - a diamond among Warsaw guides. We expected a lot while arranging the warsaw praga tour and looking at the reviews. But what Łukasz showed... read more us exceeded our wildest expectations. He showed us Praga as few have seen, like we steped back in time. Hiddenn places, local backyards - all this we would have missed if we were on our own. He is an expert in his profession. Unforgettable warsaw tour with private guide. We highly recommend Lukas!

The Temple of the Sybil, a garden pavilion from 18 The Temple of the Sybil, a garden pavilion from 1822, designed by Jakub Kubicki. It stands in the 19th century Romantic Garden in the Łazienki Park. It's inspired by ancient temples, especially the Temple of Garni in Armenia. What's interesting about it is that it's entirely made of wood, including columns.

The oldest sundial of the Royal Łazienki. It's su The oldest sundial of the Royal Łazienki. It's supported by a sculpture of a Satyr, a male horse or goat-human hybrid from Greek and Roman mythology. They were lovers of wine, music, dancing, and women, always ready for every physical pleasure, with a permanent, exaggerated erection. I think it's a softer version here :-)
The sculpture by Johann Chrysostomus Redler or Andre le Brun, ca. 1777.

This half kilometer block of flats was built in 19 This half kilometer block of flats was built in 1971-1973 opposite the Warszawa Wschodnia train station as a curtain covering neglected Praga district from passengers' eyes. It contains 43 separate staircases, 430 flats, 132 garages, and it's dedicated to 1200 inhabitants. I'd rather see run-down tenements :-)

A tenement from the turn of the 19th and 20th cent A tenement from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in Praga Północ district. Plaster was originally applied to those brick walls, but it fell off cause of lack of renovations. It houses municipal flats, and some of them are still occupied.
