My experience on this tour was incredible! We got to try some amazing, authentic dishes that I absolutely loved. Our guide Ulyana was so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. It made our experience even better than it already was! The city is beautiful, and the food is so delicious and every place truly has a story.
Thank you for taking a few moments to leave a review. Your comments are sincerely appreciated. We hope you’ll join Secret Food Tours again soon!
This is the perfect food tour. We were never rushed, all of the food was fantastic, and we had a wide variety of dishes. Our guide Ulyana was fun, educational, and conversational. We loved spending our first morning in Warsaw on this tour. All the food is included in the price of the tour.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Reviews like yours remind us why we enjoy welcoming guests every day. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
This tour was such a wonderful way to see Warsaw! Our tour guide Ulyana was very knowledgeable and gave us so much insight to the city’s history and culture. Can’t recommend this enough!
It was wonderful having you with us. Hearing that everything came together so well is always rewarding. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!
Our family of three had Ulyana all to ourselves. She was very friendly and interested in us all, took our food preferences into account, selected delicious representative dishes and told us about Polish history and places of interest. Well worth it, and highly recommended.
Thank you for your kind words. Knowing you left with so much to enjoy is exactly what we hope for. Until next time, we'd be delighted to have you join Secret Food Tours again!
Ulyana was a great host for this trip , especially so as it was a large group for her to manage (11). We have been on many Secret Food Tours around the world , which have been consistently well hosted by intelligent interesting people who passionately share lots of cultural history as well as the present , and of course the food. Ulyana added her own humour to all of that , and made it another great experience for us.
Your review was a pleasure to read! It's wonderful to know your time with us was every bit as enjoyable as you hoped. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours.
Fun and enlightening eating experience! Uliyana was funny and knowledgeable and kept us guessing about what we were going to eat! She was extremely accommodating about our likes and preferences; friendly and well worth the experience!
Hearing that you enjoyed the experience so much is wonderful feedback for us. We're glad that so many moments along the way stood out to you. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again soon!
The experience was really great with our guide Ulyana. She is such a bright young lady with lots and lots of stories. We learn interesting facts about the Polish cuisine, we talked about history and Medieval times. Overall I recommend Ulyana and if you choose her, you will enjoy the time that you will spent with her. And just a little advice - do not have breakfast if you want to fully enjoy this tour ;)
Thank you for your review! A great experience often comes from a collection of small moments, and we're pleased that so many of those moments stood out to you. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours.
This was a fun food tour, that is entirely within old town Warsaw. Our tour guide, Ulyana had a lot of information to share. She was a great tour guide who we'd be happy to tour with again.
It's rewarding to hear from guests who enjoyed their experience. We're glad the tour gave you a chance to explore the city in a different way. Thank you again for joining Secret Food Tours!
Ulyana was great. She shared tons of information. We ate great food. Her enthusiasm for the Food and for Warsaw made the tour a lot of fun.
Thank you for sharing this, Elaine! It’s always rewarding knowing a day spent together became something worth remembering afterward. Secret Food Tours would love the chance to welcome you back.
We had a wonderful tour with Ulyana! The walking tour is nicely paced tasting “latkes”, various meats, pierogis and ending with a waffle desert. We walked old town talking history, culture and especially food. Ulyana is very knowledgeable about the area and Poland. Her English is perfect, we definitely recommend this tour if you plan some time in old town Warsaw!! Thanks Ulyana😀
We sincerely appreciate your thoughtful feedback. Knowing the tour delivered the kind of experience guests can genuinely enjoy means a great deal to our team. We hope to welcome you back for another Secret Food Tours experience!
