Deceiving. Timetable not respected. We sometimes did not see what was described. The heavy traffic did not help.

We usually like to take a look of the city in this way, the tour was a little bit meager. There wasn't enough information during the trip about the place we was visiting

It was not easy to find the bus but once you did it was a good tour.
Review by: Julia S, November 2017
There is only one bus doing 2 routes so they are infrequent and the stops hard to find so you have to plan it more carefully. However it is a good way to get around the city and see the main points. Worth doing if you are there for a few days.

We enjoyed our time in Old Town Warsaw until it turned violent. We are Americans from California with dark hair and eyes and a darker complexion and I think my daughter was mistaken for a gypsy child. Two grown women in Old Town Warsaw attacked her. One kicked her with her high heel into my daughters leg as she left an ice cream shop and another ran into her back almost knocking her to the ground as they continued to walk by. Did I mention that my daughter is 9 years old? A group of teen boys were pointing and laughing at my 13 year old son and we were given the death stare by a few people as we walked in Old Town. This seemed crazy at the time, but given the Nationalist March in Warsaw over the weekend, it all makes perfect sense now. We couldn't get out of Warsaw fast enough and ended up leaving Warsaw four hours early and took a train back to Krakow where we were staying.

My voucher stated that the tour started at 11AM on Sunday when in fact it started at 10AM. Also the Sunday toured during the fall and winter months are limited. Tour was definitely not the same as what is advertised on your website. Very disappointed did not get what we paid for.

Really the best way to get a good overview of the city and then concentrate on the areas you want to see.
Review by: Kim J, September 2017
Great to see sights. But went to use service on our 2nd day and one of the buses had broken down and as there was only one bus per route,they amalgamated the routes. There was therefore long waits and the bus was very late when it picked us up at the end of the day._br/_ This was a shame because on previous experiences the service has been excellent.

Pretty much the same as hop-on offerings around the world. The routes hit the highlights but be aware of the 2 hour break in service in the afternoon as the driver takes lunch.

There's only ONE Bus! We asked for info from our hotel concierge, she gave us a brochure and told us where the nearest pick up location to our hotel was. Supposedly begin by 10AM, our approximate time pick up was 10:37AM. We walked there, waited for one hour and we never saw any hop-on-hop off anywhere. We decided to walk to the Old Town area and there we eventually saw our first hop-on bus @ 1:30PM. By the time we ran to the stop, it had gone. We looked at the brochure schedule, and it was off by 10 minutes, which is not bad. We had purchased a two day pass, by the time we finally were able to pick up the bus in the same Old Town area it was almost 4PM, we saw @ 1 hour worth of sights. The next day Sunday, we figured out that if we wanted to get picked up we had to walk to the Old Town. We picked the bus @ 1:20PM, when it was 2:00PM, the bus stopped accross from the Hard Rock Cafe Warsaw, Stop 1. It was a super hot day, no shade anywhere, we were on the top area. After 20 minutes of waiting for the bus to leave, another passenger came upstairs and told the 7 or 8 remaining passengers that the bus driver had gone to lunch! His lunch hour was from 2 to 3PM! He was an English guy and was laughing when he told us that apparently there's ONE Bus and ONE Driver! I don't know if the driver announced his lunch stop, the sound system was poor, we had changed seats thinking that the sound might be better in another seat, but it wasn't. My husband and I and lots of other passengers never knew that the driver had left the bus stopped for an hour because he was going to lunch! We walked across the street to the Hard Rock and had some lunch, we saw the bus leave the area again @ 3:20PM, we missed the bus again. We ended up taking a taxi back to our hotel. Buying a 2-day pass was not a good idea for us.

The drivers were unable to communicate with the guests, the descriptions of the routes were inaccurate, the stops were not clearly informed, we were only able to catch one bus each day as it looks they only had 2 buses all together.
Review by: Ross B, June 2017
First bus was full. We had to wait 75 minutes for another. Tell the tour operator to scrape the paintings from the bus windows. They interfere with the view.

Booked in advance online through Viator as I have done many times before with many attractions/events and other City sightseeing hop on hop off buses in Malta, Rome, Paris, Berlin and many other places, this time we could not find a single bus stop marked to catch the bus at any of the attractions along the bus route, nor did we see a single City sightseeing bus during our 3 day trip despite waiting over an hour at some of the places the bus is supposed to visit such as the Museum of the uprising. complete waste of money we got nothing for our 35 payment and even though our past experiences have been good with viator we will in future wait until we get to our destination before booking attractions like this one. Getting a map of the route took hours of trolling the internet and should have been sent to us as part of the booking confirmation.

This was a great way to see a lot of the city in a short amount of time, but I think the buses are a bit too infrequent to be truly useful and the maps didn't seem to match up with the actual paths that the buses took. Thanks to this deviation from the routes, the audio did not always match up with the actual environment we were passing through.

It was a great overview of the city and it's history, it gave us a starting point.

A must to get your bearings in Warsaw. We did one whole tour then hopped on and off at various attractions
Review by: Ragnhild H, October 2016
I could not find where to get on this bus even when I downloaded their woefullly inadequate map. Therefore this voucher was a complete waste of money! Unlike other countries that have such buses, Poland does not have its act together. I would recommend that others don't waste their money and use the very cheap taxis instead for a reliable service! Very disappointing!

Overall not too bad, bus was on schedule, drivers were helpful, although they don't speak English, they try to help when you have questions. The bus stops are a little bit tricky, not every stop has a stand, most of them only got a red sticker on the normal bus stop... so you have to look for it carefully... I'm not sure if it's a temporary change of route or what... the bus not actually followed the route on the map, so I have to open google map to cross reference where was the bus going. I still recommend it if you are the first time to Warsaw plus too lazy to check out the local transport, otherwise, it's better to buy a day ticket and take the bus/tram, quite simple actually.
