About Us

Tour Guides Association "Golden Duck" has been operating since 2009.

In 2015, in the Ballroom of the Royal Castle in Warsaw, during the ceremonial session of the City Council, our Association received the City of Warsaw Merit Award in recognition of its services to the Capital of the Republic of Poland.

Golden Duck has been nominated many times in the competition for the Best Warsaw Non-Governmental Initiative "S3KTOR".

Every tour with a qualified guide is an artistic and historical journey full of information communicated through traditional and unconventional ways. With the help of photographs we use an interactive approach to the subject. Images are prepared each time to interest various age groups, be they people from Poland, or tourists from abroad.

Tours are conducted by professional, licensed tour guides with years of experience in tourism. Our guides include art historians, an architect, culture experts, historians, a psychologist, linguists, teachers of foreign languages, and an illustrator.
Members of the association are enthusiasts who know what quality in tourism means due to valuable experience in working with children, youths, and adults. They are also successful in many other areas, such as: publication of guides, art history, popular science, historical stories, fantasy role-playing scenarios, and architectural competitions.

In cooperation with the city of Warsaw we successfully organize walks, urban games, history of Warsaw meetings, tours to promote the different parts of the capital, as well as tours of Poland. Every year we carry out about two hundred initiatives on various topics related to the history
and culture of Warsaw. During our initiatives we also conduct competitions and quizzes with great prizes for the participants.

We also cooperate with well-known companies from around the world, as well as public institutions.

The association takes part in cultural actions like "Night at the Museum", "Summer in the City", "Kłopociaki" and other projects. Members of the association also speak at various conferences about historical and cultural issues.
