The tour guide started the tour asking us what we want to see, again i would have expected him to have an itinerary ready. We were then taken to the Praga district and shown many many buildings that had been stripped of decoration by Stalin. We were then also shown a picture of a "black market place" from the communist era. That was the extent of the Communist history of the tour. The remainder of the time was spent again just driving around the touristy parts of Warsaw with no reference to the Communist era at all and no itinerary being followed. The guide was very surprised when i asked to go to the Communist Museum which it then turned out was closed. Very disappointing and no value for money again.

The little Fiat was really a hoot and added to the atmosphere as our guide Marcin took us around the city to experience this unique period of time. We had taken the WWII tour earlier in the day, so we covered 50 years of Polish history in one day. Marcin was not only very knowledgeable of the time period and architecture, but also very engaged in current day politics. Not always easy in English. We also appreciated Marcin's flexibility with finding us a place to eat first, then taking us to a requested place not on the normal tour. Highly recommended for history and architecture lovers!!
