Guest Reviews

Honest words from travellers who joined my tours and experienced Poland with me.

The food tour with Adrian was a great way to see Warsaw in a different way and learn about Polish customs and the Polish food. The (sweet) Pierogi, but also the Barszcz was delicious and surprising. A typical Polish milk bar would not be easy to visit yourself, as a foreigner. The food and drink was delicious but especially fun to experience, because we don't know anything like this. Also the rest was delicious and quite an experience and more than we could all eat. But especially Adrian's enthusiasm, passion and knowledge make this tour more than complete and highly recommended!
The food tour with Adrian in Warsaw was one of the highlights of my visit to Poland! I enjoyed every minute and every bite! Adrian offers such great information and perspective, and the food we sampled was all delicious. This tour was everything I wanted and more!!

I have traveled to 57 countries and have done good tours just about in all of them that offer a good tour. This has got to be in my top 3 food tours. Adrian made our group (I was a solo on this tour) feel like we were old good friends. Took the time to explain the food, history, and ingredients that goes into every bite we ate. Please come on an empty stomach as this is not just a quick food tours where you sample tiny bites. We even had a stop at a local bar for some local beer. Will definitely do this tour again when I return with my parents.

Absolutely awesome way to spend thearvo! Adrian's Warsaw food tour was a real highlight of our trip, and that’s mostly down to the legend of a host, Adrian. Super friendly, easygoing, and full of great yarns about the city’s food and history – he made the whole thing feel like a fun day out with a mate excited to show you his culture. The food was top-notch, proper traditional Polish stuff, and Adrian knew all the best spots. If you’re keen to get a real taste of Warsaw (and a few cheeky pierogi), this tour’s a no-brainer. He even went above and beyond when we asked for recommendations the day after our tour. Cheers Adrian!
Kermint (TripAdvisor)
Adrian is such a great guide, I saw a lot of reviews about his tour in a different platform, and they are all correct! We tried so many different types of Polish cuisines, I ended up the tour so full! The atmosphere of the tour was so nice, Adrian really took care about the preferences too! And all the local restaurants seems to know him and love him as well! Thanks for a great experience.

If you want an unforgettable food tour, this is THE food tour to take! We have been on many food tours throughout Europe and Adrian nails it hands down with his enthusiasm for his country, interactions with guests and choices in menu. Best ever!
Patricia (Viator)
We were fortunate to get Adrian all to ourselves for our food tour, and he provided an excellent experience tailored to our preferences. It was a great chance to sample various traditional Polish foods whilst also learning a bit more about Warsaw (and Krakow) at the same time. There was definitely plenty of food provided - so make sure you turn up hungry.
