Why take this tour?

Let yourself be taken on a ride by retro minibus made in communist Poland to investigate the history, ideology and architecture of a former Polish communist state. Warsaw seems perfect for it due to World War 2 destruction of the city and reconstruction done by the communist government. There's a lot to see, be prepared then for a high pace and strict schedule. Palace of Culture and Science, Constitution sq, former Communist Party HQ are just some places one either visits or passes on this tour. Stories about the black market, an idea of a garden-city of Warsaw and new communist ideology combined with the right context and retro time machine will bring these past days back to life. Witness visit of Pope John Paul, an introduction of Martial Law and Free Elections of 1989 through tales told during this 3-hour experience.
