Delicious foods of Warsaw
Ulyana was a delightful young lady. She shared her experiences with food as well as her parents and grandparents. She speaks multiple languages and was very interesting. The pace was not rushed. Uylana asked questions about us and was genuinely interested. We were lucky to get a private tour! It was a good variety of foods. Favorites were potato pancakes, pork knuckle and spinach pierogies accompanied by chicken broth. Everything was delicious! Ulyana was happy we were open to trying new dishes.
Response from the operator: Thank you for including our team in your time here. A food tour can reveal the character of a destination through its ingredients, customs, and everyday eating habits, and we’re grateful you explored those details with Secret Food Tours. We appreciate you spreading the word!

Excellent way to see Warsaw
Excellent tour of Warsaw— so much history and so much food! My only complaint is that there was TOO much food :) I could barely touch the last few courses but had to because they were excellent. Our tour guide was phenomenal and personalized this tour. 10/10 recommend.
Response from the operator: We appreciate you coming along and sharing the experience with us. At Secret Food Tours, we want guests to feel like they’re spending time in the city, not just checking something off a list. We’d love to have you back whenever you’re nearby!

Warsaw: 7 Tastings Food Tour with Pierogi, Waffles & Hidden Gems: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Warsaw.
How much does Warsaw: 7 Tastings Food Tour with Pierogi, Waffles & Hidden Gems cost?
+
Prices start at $98 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 Warsaw: 7 Tastings Food Tour with Pierogi, Waffles & Hidden Gems take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Warsaw: 7 Tastings Food Tour with Pierogi, Waffles & Hidden Gems worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 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 Warsaw: 7 Tastings Food Tour with Pierogi, Waffles & Hidden Gems?
+
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 Warsaw: 7 Tastings Food Tour with Pierogi, Waffles & Hidden Gems suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Warsaw: 7 Tastings Food Tour with Pierogi, Waffles & Hidden Gems?
+
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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Warsaw: 7 Tastings Food Tour with Pierogi, Waffles & Hidden Gems 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 Warsaw: 7 Tastings Food Tour with Pierogi, Waffles & Hidden Gems?
+
Included: Our delicious Secret Dish!; Bottled water; Traditional Warsaw pierogi; Local cucumbers and sallad; and Warming Traditional tea | Polish beer | Sweet local shot. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
