    1. Old Town

      The Old Town is not only the historical part of Warsaw. It must be remembered that until the end of the 18th century, Warsaw included only the Old Town, so called Old Warsaw. The New Town, formerly known as New Warsaw, was incorporated later. Previously, these were two separate cities, each of them had its own coat of arms. Old Warsaw Mermaid, New Warsaw Lady with a Unicorn. During our trip we will see, among others, the column of King Sigismund III Vasa in front of the Royal Castle, formerly the castle of Masovian dukes. From there, we will go to the Cathedral of St. John, where we will see the tombs of Masovian dukes. We will visit the Museum of Warsaw where we can admire the historic mermaid, saved from the Warsaw Uprising. We will go through the Barbican, which was the former fortification separating New and Old Warsaw. We will see the historic bell at the Kanonia square. Finally, we will see Chopin’s heart embedded in the Church of the Holly Cross.

    Discovering Warsaw

    Cesar was amazing. It was one of the best tours i've ever had. He showed me much more than Old Town. I have seen the palaces with beautiful gardens, statue of Copernicus and house of Marie Curie. We also had luck to see ceremony of changing the guard by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I highly recommend the tour with Cesar.

    Response from the operator: Thank You so much. Im happy You liked it. Warsaw is really beautiful city. Its full of monuments and history. Its also legends and local traditions. I really appreciate it.

    Wonderful wonderful tour! Choose Caesar as your Guide!

    Caesar is an amazing tour guide and historian. He knows not only the history from the beginning of Warsaw to the present day but the history of all of Poland and how it integrates into the world at large. Caesar pointed out many important things that helped us understand Poland that we would have not noticed otherwise. In a few short hours I felt like I had gained an understanding of Poland. He is a great guide. We highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank You so much. Poland has long and interesting history. You can feel the spirit of the Old Times going to the crypts of Old Town cathedra or walking through the Royal Road to see church with Chopin heart or king Sobieski Palace in Wilanów. Also I learned more about USA and Old cities settled by Spaniards.

    Had a lovely walking tour...

    Had a lovely walking tour with Cesar. I was only in Warsaw for 36 hours so I was hoping to be able to get a good sense of the old and new city while I was there. I was very happy with the experience and felt like I learned a good amount about the history of Warsaw and current culture on this tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank You so much Anna. Is good to hear that. Warsaw is magnificent. Its so much to see. Im really happy people appreciate its history and beauty.

    A Journey Through Old Town Warsaw: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Warsaw.

    How much does A Journey Through Old Town Warsaw cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Warsaw usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does A Journey Through Old Town Warsaw take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Warsaw is not rushed.

    Is A Journey Through Old Town Warsaw worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Warsaw, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule A Journey Through Old Town Warsaw?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is A Journey Through Old Town Warsaw suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book A Journey Through Old Town Warsaw?

    +

    Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Warsaw can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Warsaw and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does A Journey Through Old Town Warsaw start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Warsaw within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Warsaw?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Warsaw experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Discover the Dark Side of Warsaw in Praga District by Retro Bus, Warsaw Foodie Tour - Food, Drinks, History & Traditions, Private Tour: Warsaw City Sightseeing by Retro Fiat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Warsaw?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Warsaw?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in A Journey Through Old Town Warsaw?

    +

    Included: Guide and his knowledge about the places visited. Not included: Food and drink, transportation, entrance tickets. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
