Self Pace Walking Tour
A good history of Poland pre and during the war. I went on my own pace in the morning and it was very nice. My phone’s location was always tripping out but that’s a me issue. A good 1-2 hour self walking tour.

Perfect for travelling on...
Perfect for travelling on your own, when you'd like to explore on your own time. Very informative and easy to follow.
via Viator
Excellent tour for walking and self-exploration.
Can't say enough good about this! My first use of this service, it was great. A wonderful walk through history, and things you can't get without being on your own at street level. I will be using this again.

Make sure you take your time with this one.
This is a self-paced audio tour that uses the VoiceMap app on your phone. It will tell you exactly where to go, as it uses your phone's GPS, and as you approach each and every monument the city has to offer, it will tell you to stop, take a breath, and then explains the history behind each monument, how it came to be and why Poland is preserving and immortalizing the memories. This took me about two hours to complete, and it was the best part of my trip to Warsaw.

Moving and informative

Warsaw at War 1939-1945: A Self-guided Audio Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Warsaw.
How much does Warsaw at War 1939-1945: A Self-guided Audio Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $7 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 at War 1939-1945: A Self-guided Audio Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 at War 1939-1945: A Self-guided Audio Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Warsaw, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Warsaw at War 1939-1945: A Self-guided Audio Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Warsaw at War 1939-1945: A Self-guided Audio Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Warsaw at War 1939-1945: A Self-guided Audio Tour?
+
Around 3 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Warsaw at War 1939-1945: A Self-guided Audio Tour 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, Private Tour: Warsaw City Sightseeing by Retro Fiat, Private Historical Tour of Warsaw by a Retro Fiat with Pickup. 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.
