star rating  Together with my Russian friend Darya, I had a walking tour in Sródmiescie with Łukasz.
I highly (and Darya too) recommand Łukasz's tours.
He is, of course as... read more a guide,very knowledgeable. He loves his city and shared it with us.
He showed us and commented many interesting points, courtyards, buildings, squares. And Łukasz made always sure we were happy and comfortable.
Well he is a tour guide for a reason.
Plus Łukasz gave us hints how to satisfy our thirst for knowledge if ever needed. I wont tell how exactly, you will need to book the tour to discover it by yourselves.
Thank you Łukasz for this great afternoon ! I wish you the best for your carreer and life !

star rating  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!

star rating  My Poland Trip - Poland is always a country I would like to explore. Before I went to Poland, I was under the impression that Poland has a rather deep and heavy history, due... read more to the Nazi period with the concentration camp and holocaust...

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 :)
