As you like it
Here I am - Renata, ready to guide you in Warsaw and in the Mazovia region, where I was born, brought up, studied literature and history at Warsaw University and have worked - for a certain time as a journalist, from time to time as a translator of literature (mainly novels), but most of the time as a tourist guide.

Working as a guide is my greatest love, because I love people (which is mutual!) and I love my country. I am proud not only to show visitors the beauty of Poland, but also help them to get to know and understand my country that experienced - as I did - many changes and survived - stronger and better.

I am an experienced, licenced guide, at first employed by big state tourist office, then doing that job free lance for other tourist offices and agencies. Also being recommended by my clients to their friends and acquaintances. I do private tours for individual visitors - following their interest and my knowledge. So I can show you Jewish Warsaw, as well as the catholic city with a lot of churches, or as a town where music is created and played. The town of Chopin, but also the place where the Mozart festival is held every summer.

Some tourists I met have Polish roots, many a time I helped them to find their families they had never seen before, or the places their parents come from. That makes such a trip fascinating and unforgettable - both for them and for me.

Guided tour #1: Warsaw City Tour

Duration : 5 hours
Level : easy Easy
See the highlights of Warsaw during a 4 hours tour – with me, by car and walking.

Warsaw is a green and clean town, so you will be taken to Lazienki Park (18th century) where you can stroll and admire palaces and pavilions hidden in thick greenery. Drive along Royal Route, almost completely rebuilt after WWII in its previous historical design. Walk in Warsaw Old Town, also rebuilt to its previous style, and put on the UNESCO cultural heritage list as the only place not original but reconstructed. See the house where Madame Curie was born, and where Chopin lived. We will also visit what was once the ghetto area.

With me you will see great contrasts of pre-war Warsaw, districts kept in socialistic-realistic style and recently constructed modern downtown called sometimes Warsaw Manhattan. And what about Warsaw Prague? This is how we call part of Warsaw on the right bank of the Vistula river, where a traditional bazaar still functions and where the famous film ''The Pianist'' by Polanski was made.

Guided tour #2: Jewish heritage in Warsaw

Duration : 1 day
Level : easy Easy
This half-day tour focuses on visiting places connected with the Jewish presence in Poland for about ten centuries. In Warsaw you can see: the still functioning Jewish cemetery; Nozyk Synagogue which survived the last war; the Jewish Historical Institute with its small museum and archives; a remaining part of the ghetto wall; Umschlagplatz memorial marking the place of the station from which Jews were deported to the death camp in Treblinka during WWII; Rappaport monument dedicated to heroes of the ghetto; and an orphanage with the exhibition devoted to doctor Korczak.

It is recommended to combine both tours: Warsaw city tour in the morning and Jewish heritage tour in the afternoon.

Guided tour #3: Chopin's country: a private Warsaw and surroundings tour.

Duration : 1 day
Level : easy Easy
While visiting Poland it is a must to visit the places where he lived and spent half of his life. His birthplace is exceptionally charming; in the village of Zelazowa Wola situated 55 km outside Warsaw, a lovely manor house later turned into a museum was his first home. After strolling in a small lovely park we will drive to Brochow to visit the unique (being stronghold and shrine at the same time) church where Frederic was baptized and his parents were married. Return to Warsaw along country road to see typical Polish villages with old wooden houses and stork nests.

On Sundays (May to September) there is the opportunity to listen to open air piano recitals performed by some of Poland's best pianists. If your visit comes on another day you can book the evening piano recital in one of the palaces in Warsaw (additional price 130 zlotys).

It is recommended to combine both tours: city tour of Warsaw in the morning, and in the afternoon Chopin's country tour.

Guided tour #4: Family roots

Duration : 1 day
Level : easy Easy
Sometimes you want to visit townlets or villages which are out of beaten track, important only for you because this is the place where your ancestors were born, where your family roots are. No wonder you want to visit it and to know as much about it as possible. You can do it with me, I will introduce you to the history of such place.
If you are not sure where your Polish family roots start, but you get some information, I can help you to locate that Very Important Place, your personal VIP. In my practice I have been very succesful in tracing family trees, may be for you too?
