Agata Sobieska
Discover Warsaw. Understand its story.
I guide both small and large groups, sharing Warsaw’s history, architecture, and everyday stories.
About me
I have been a licensed city guide in Warsaw since 2013, when I passed the state exam. I offer guided tours for both small and large groups, showcasing the most iconic landmarks of Warsaw — from the charming Old Town and New Town to the elegant Krakowskie Przedmieście and its surroundings. Together, we can visit the Grave of the Unknown Soldier, the Palace of Culture and Science, the Royal Łazienki Museum, and the Wilanów Palace and Park.
Along the way, I share fascinating Warsaw legends and stories from the city’s dramatic past during World War II. For those interested in history, I also guide visits to places of remembrance such as the Mausoleum of Struggle and Martyrdom, the Pawiak Prison Museum, and the Powązki Military Cemetery.
I create personalized tours tailored to your interests — from Warsaw’s famous landmarks to its hidden corners and local treasures. Whether you are traveling on your own, with a school or adult group, or with participants who have special needs, I ensure your visit is comfortable, engaging, and memorable. I also cooperate with travel agencies and issue invoices. I guide in:
Dutch,
English,
German and
Polish.
Discover Warsaw’s Highlights
Most visitors start their journey in the Old Town. We can meet King Sigismund III Vasa on his column in Castle Square and walk along Świętojańska Street, through Kanonia, Gnojna Góra, and Celna Street, leading to the Old Town Market Square and the Warsaw Mermaid. From there, we may continue through the Barbican to the New Town, stroll along Szeroki Dunaj, Wąski Dunaj, and Piwna Street, or visit the Little Insurgent Monument.
Behind the Old Town lies the New Town, which some visitors find even more charming. Highlights include the birthplace of Maria Skłodowska-Curie, the market square with the Church and Monastery of the Sacrament Sisters, the Gothic Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Monument overlooking the Multimedia Fountain Park.
The elegant Krakowskie Przedmieście can be explored in depth on foot or briefly during a coach tour. Along the way, you can see the Nicolaus Copernicus Monument, the Staszic Palace, the Zamoyski Palace, the Holy Cross Church, the University of Warsaw gate, and the Presidential Palace, among many other historical sites.
The Grave of the Unknown Soldier is a must-see, especially at the top of the hour during the changing of the guard. The nearby Piłsudski Square is also rich in history.
At the Palace of Culture and Science, the 30th-floor terrace offers a panoramic view of the city — a perfect start or finish to your tour.
The Royal Łazienki Park delights with its historic architecture and scenic greenery. We could begin the route at the Belweder Palace. Nearby we would find Fryderyk Chopin beneath the willow tree. In the Royal Łazienki Park there are several buildings, objects and sculptures worth seeing. The most important building is the Palace on the Isle. Please remember to bring a drink — there are no shops inside the park.
In Wilanów, we visit St. Anne’s Church as well as the Wilanów Palace and its beautiful gardens.
