Your Custom Tour: private tour by retro minibus with hotel pickup
Overview
This private, fully customizable Warsaw tour is ideal for travelers seeking a personalized introduction to the city without a fixed itinerary. Whether you know what you want to see or prefer guidance from an experienced local, the tour adapts to your interests.
Your guide meets you at your hotel and welcomes you aboard a vintage Żuk minibus, an iconic Polish vehicle that adds character and atmosphere. You may plan your route in advance or decide together with your guide on the day of the tour.
Choose to focus on areas such as Warsaw’s Old Town, World War II history, former Jewish districts, communist-era landmarks, royal parks, street art, or neighborhoods like Praga. With expert local knowledge, your guide helps you prioritize the most meaningful sites.
Short walks combined with comfortable transfers allow you to cover more ground efficiently while keeping a relaxed pace, with flexibility for on-the-spot changes.
What's Included

Meeting and Pickup
Pickup service from hotels, Airbnb and apartments is available up to 3 kilometres from the city centre. If your hotel/apartment is located farther or it’s not reachable by car, our advisor will suggest the closest and most comfortable meeting point. Please note that transfer from and to the hotel counts into the total time of the tour. Therefore, sometimes it is better to meet the guide in the city centre, rather than spend the time transferring from the far located pickup spot.
