This time I am very thankful to have Lukasz as our tour guide to show me the prosperous period of Poland in the late 17th and 18th century. With his detailed illustrations about the old town,  it gave me an excellent picture of how people living in the past. And one thing I like the most, is the architecture, the Royal Castle is excellent, with its glamorous Royal design and elegant setting, you would experience how prosperous Poland once was. Warsaw old town was classified as the UNESCO World heritage site, and it is a must see destination for anyone visiting Warsaw!!

I am deeply impressed by Lukasz for helping me to understand Poland more, especially how prosperous once was and how it strive after the Second World War. I am really touched by how Polish people fight for their own right during Warsaw Uprising. And no doubt, I would strongly recommend you to choose Lukasz as your tour guide if you visit Warsaw :)
