How Warsaw's 'medieval' Old Town was actually rebuilt from ruins after WWII — told through family memory.

Warsaw's real cocktail scene, curated by a working bartender — no overpriced Old Town tourist bars.

In 1944, Warsaw's citizens fought the German occupation for 63 days — almost street by street. We walk the actual routes, past the original wall inscriptions, through the sewers the insurgents used, and I'll tell you the stories that aren't in the history books.

Praga wasn't destroyed in WWII because the Red Army was across the river watching. It's the only Warsaw neighbourhood with intact pre-war buildings — and it has the best food market, the most interesting street art, and bars that haven't changed since 1989.

POLIN is Europe's best museum and most people outside Poland have never heard of it. A thousand years of Polish Jewish history in a building that sits on the site of the Warsaw Ghetto. I take small groups through the permanent collection with full historical context.

Warsaw's Old Town is a fake — painstakingly rebuilt from rubble and old photographs after 1945. It's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I take you through the reconstruction story: how it was done, what was changed, and what this says about how cities construct identity.

The Palace of Culture and Science was a 'gift' from Stalin to Poland — 237 metres of Soviet ambition in the centre of Warsaw. I'll take you inside, up to the viewing platform, and through the 3,000-room interior including a Soviet-era cinema still showing films.

Powiśle is Warsaw's most interesting nightlife neighbourhood — a river district that reinvented itself in the 2010s with bars built into old socialist housing estates. We start there, move to Nowy Świat, and end somewhere I'm not going to spoil.

Warsaw's nightlife is genuinely underrated. The bars that matter don't advertise. The cocktail bars worth visiting don't have a sign on the door. The rooftops that feel right are not in any magazine. I've spent years learning where to go and — more importantly — when and who with. Four hours, three or four places, zero tourist traps.

We'll buy a bag of bread, walk to the pond at Łazienki, and feed the ducks. That's the setting. What actually happens is a proper conversation — about building a product, finding users, making decisions under uncertainty, or whatever is actually on your mind. No agenda, no slides, no small talk. Just a walk, some ducks, and an honest exchange with someone who's been in the middle of it.

A 60-minute Reiki session designed to help you slow down, release tension, and reset your energy. Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice based on the idea that a practitioner channels life-force energy through their hands to activate the natural healing processes of the body. It works on physical, emotional, and energetic levels simultaneously — without pressure, pain, or any manipulation of the body. The session takes place in a quiet, private space in Warsaw city centre. You arrive, lie down fully clothed on a comfortable massage table, close your eyes, and breathe. I move through a sequence of hand positions — hovering above or lightly touching the body at specific energy centres. Most people notice warmth, tingling, or a deep sense of relaxation within the first few minutes. What happens varies: some people experience emotional releases, others drift into a half-sleep state, others simply feel calmer and lighter when they get up. All of it is valid and part of the process. I have been practising Reiki for 5 years, certified at Level 2 (Okuden). Sessions are held in a dedicated space I keep specifically for this work — no distractions, soft light, gentle music. I use a brief intake conversation beforehand to understand what you are carrying in and what you would like to release or strengthen. Ideal for: stress, burnout, sleep difficulties, anxiety, grief, recovery from illness, or simply wanting to feel more balanced. No prior knowledge or specific beliefs required.

Warsaw didn't inherit a cultural scene — it built one from scratch, twice. What you find here now is raw, original, and genuinely exciting. We'll move through independent galleries, street murals that are actually worth looking at, design studios, and the creative neighbourhoods the city didn't used to have. I'll introduce you to the Warsaw that's building something new.

Polish food is having its moment. Not the clichés — the real thing. I'll take you through the market where the best chefs actually shop, into two or three restaurants that define what Warsaw cooking looks like right now, and to a spot or two that have no Instagram presence and no reason to ever need one. This is what I eat when I'm home.

Warsaw carries scars you can't find in any guidebook. I'll walk you through the alleys where the city was rebuilt from rubble, the courtyards where jazz survived the Soviet era, and the tiny bars where the real Warsaw still lives. This is not a history lecture — it's a conversation with the city, told by someone who grew up here.

Warsaw has a secret: a wakeboard spots minutes north of the city - a vast reservoir where locals come to escape and get on the water. I have been wakeboarding here for years — first as a complete beginner holding on for dear life, now as someone who genuinely loves the feeling of carving a clean line across the water. This session is for both: total beginners who have never touched a board, and people who want to improve technique. We start on the dock — I walk you through body position, hand grip, how to get up on your first try (most people nail it by attempt 3-4). Then it is water time. The cable park runs on a loop system, so you get multiple passes, multiple chances to find your balance. Between runs we debrief on the grass with cold drinks. I will film your runs so you can see exactly what your body is doing — the gap between what you think you look like and reality is both hilarious and extremely useful. The vibe: relaxed, honest, zero pressure. We go at your pace. If you want to spend the whole session getting comfortable just standing up — that is a win. If you want to try your first jump by the end, we will aim for that. What is included: cable park tickets (2 hours), board rental, wetsuit if needed, coaching throughout, video of your runs, cold drinks on the dock.
