Free tour of enchanted Warsaw Old Town
I was given tour guide license for Warsaw in 2009. It was the fulfillment of my childhood dreams. I am passionate about cycling trips (several trips over Balkan countries Morocco and Cyprus) and mountain hikes. I am interested in Polish history, theater, and recently I have become fascinated by quantum physics.

Description
Have you ever walked through a city and felt the walls whisper its secrets? Join me for a journey through Warsaw’s Old Town, where every stone has a story and every corner hides a legend. This isn’t just a sightseeing walk—it’s a living tale of kings, monsters, heroes, and scientists who shaped the spirit of Poland.
Castle Square (Plac Zamkowy): We begin where Warsaw itself began—at the symbolic gateway to the city. The Sigismund’s Column rises proudly, inviting us to uncover centuries of history.
Świętojańska Street: Stand before St. John’s Cathedral, where Polish kings were crowned. Touch the mysterious “Mitoraj doors” at Jesuits church. Be thrilled by a tale of a mysterious bear.
The Market Square (Rynek): Here, stories come alive—the terrifying Basilisk lurking in a cellar, and the legendary founders, Wars and Sawa, whose love gave Warsaw its name.
Freta Street: A quieter corner with a powerful legacy—the birthplace of Maria Skłodowska-Curie, double Nobel Prize laureate, whose brilliance still inspires.
Długa Street: We finish on a patriotic note, where the spirit of the Constitution of May 3rd—Europe’s first modern constitution—still echoes.
Our walk concludes on Długa Street, but the spirit of Warsaw will walk with you long after.
Book your spot now and let me take you on a journey where history, legend, and imagination meet. Together, we’ll discover Warsaw not just as a city—but as an unforgettable story.
