It took a bit to get used to the app, but once we got the hang of it, the tour was excellent. We learned a lot about the history of Warsaw and it was especially nice to be on our own instead of trudging along with a big tour group. Would definitely use this format again.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted the tour made your visit more enjoyable and that the format was a good fit for you.
